  1. Best bit: The expressiveness of Ian's voice. You can picture him singing it.
  2. Worst bit: Absolutely no chance to see it live, ever, done this way.
  3. Why I love it: Transcendent. Nothing like it has really been made since, not with that kind of impact.
  4. Percentage: 100% (but not if Barney sings. This is one place he shouldn't go, really)
  5. take it back to Home Depot for a refund

I like the Russ Abbott Song:-

I love a party with an ATMOSPHERE, much more cheery than that depressing Joy Division track :)

1.EVERYTHING ! 2.None 3.An overwhelming Masterpiece that makes you feel so uplifted. 4.110 % 5.If i had a hammer i'd hammer my silly head ! And by the way, apart from the Marvelous original, the one 'self-cover' by New Order on 'In Session', back in '98 for dear late JOHN PEEL, does quite make it for me as well. Best regards to all the Noolers and my best season greetings.

Best bit - "people like you...." Worst bit - none. Love/hate - i never tire of hearing it. % - 99. If I had a hammer, it would have been the first West Ham fan I'd have been that close to.

Best bit - every last bit of it Worst bit - the runoff groove Why? - It just does what very few pieces of music do. It weeps, cries, wails, lifts you, drops you, and leaves you emotionally shattered and drained at the end. It exposes all the frailty, desperation and weaknesses we all feel at some time or other. Either way, at the end of it you feel different from before, every time. Rated - 100% Hammer? I'd put it in the toolbox.

  6. the beginning. It simply suggests this is one serious song everybody should listen.

  7. The last "Don't walk away", not because it's bad but, it hurts an awuful fucking lot... it's even possible to imagine Ian kneeling down...

  8. I discovered the song by watching the video, it was completely apart from what I had litened to until then...

  9. it's just perfect.

  10. ¿?¿?¿?
