Re: New Order Top Ten
 

I think the reason I can never remember the titles is because of Peter Saville's ace art where you look at the box or the vinyl and the song titles were never on there. Instead they are on the piece of vinyl thats spinning (hard to spin my head at 33rpm) or on the CD in the hifi. Great art but not very practical. So I never learned a lot of them (unless they were singles that had charted, they usually had the name of the song in the chorus).

Pfff... New Order Top Ten? That's really a too difficult question... (there can be at least 5 NO Top Ten...) anyway... here's a "possible" one :

Temptation
Everything's Gone Green
Blue Monday
Jetstream
Slow Jam
World
586
Ceremony
Here To Stay
Thieves Like Us

VoilÃ*...

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

off the top of my head, and in no particular order

Ceremony
1963
Regret
Crystal
Dreams Never End (specifically the Peel Session recording)
Temptation (although I can never decide which version)
True Faith

actually, after that there's none that really spring to mind. But I've not really listened to much New Order lately. I've been meaning to stick Substance in the car for a while. It's about time I had another New Order phase . . .

**ooh, and reading back through other peoples' lists I remembered Here to Stay, which should go on as well**

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

while i don't have a proper list put together yet, i did want to chime in to say that 'guilt is a useless emotion' is so going to be on my list. that track is a monster :D

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

World in Motion! all 10, all day!

No. Really its more like this:
True Faith
Ceremony
Dreams Never Fade
Temptation
Crystal
Here to Stay
Regret
Spooky
Shellshock
Confusion

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

ceremony
temptation
age of consent
thieves like us
perfect kiss (12")
bizarre love triangle
true faith
dream attack
regret
primitive notion
-----------
you know what, this is ridiculous. i could have just as easily selected 10 completely diff tracks and been very happy with that list. i call bullshit and mattval knows it!

lock this fucking thread!


edit: sub Age of Consent for Procession, sub Primitive Notion for Vanishing Point

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

stimpee, the lyrics to that song were written, by the whole group and whoever else may have been outside the studio at the time. it's common knowledge the band were on a fair bit of acid recording PC&L and Bernard is as bad as they come in the lyrics dept. so he left a book outside the studio and as people came and went, they wrote down a line in the book. Your Silent Face is a result of that experiment. that may help you enjoy the random/meaninglessness of the lyrics.

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

PS. Joy Division and New Order can't be in the same category. They just aren't the same band. They are but in essence the impact of Ian Curtis can't be mistaken. HIS LYRICS were memorable. TWO DIFF. bands. IMHO
