Substance on double vinyl was one of the first records I bought when I went to university 17 years ago, for the princely sum of £3. I still play it now.

My brother had/has the double CD, which I borrowed off him to tape the b-sides.
― Neil S, Friday, 24 May 2013 14:59 (eleven years ago) link
I can blame The Cure, New Order, Prince and Pet Shop Boys for causing me to gravitate towards bands' b-sides when I start really following them

The Smiths were good in that regard too.

I actually owned the "True Faith" 45, which came in its condensed Pettibone form and of course "1963"

I have that on a warped 12" with a nice big picture of a leaf on the cover:

sorry for hueg
Appropriately huge. One of the most iconic sleeves OF ALL TIME. /kanye
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 24 May 2013 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
Voted. Thanks to those who chimed in with standout tracks from the later albums. A couple of them made my ballot. I particularly liked Run Wild.
― righteousmaelstrom, Friday, 24 May 2013 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
Feel like top 5 sleeves would have been more appropriate for this band than top 5 videos.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 24 May 2013 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, I voted but only went for 3 videos. Would have voted for top sleeves and top remixes!

I bought the True Faith remix 12" because it was so pretty.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Friday, 24 May 2013 17:58 (eleven years ago) link
do we need to specify which mix we prefer of each sonq in question, or can we just you know say 'True Faith' or whatever?
― piscesx, Friday, 24 May 2013 22:13 (eleven years ago) link
One of the things that put me off about NO initially but I now love about them is the extent to which productions like "Face Up" have this glossy futurism as well as a flimsy, low budget quality -- often within the same song. When I hear Movement (which I am really liking), it makes me think that a big piece of the reason for that dynamic is their roots in Martin Hannett's thin, clangy productions, which a record like Low Life builds on with drum machines and synths that sound like they'd never even plugged in until the engineer pushed record in the studio.
Btw, where is Dan Selzer in this poll? I almost can't imagine ILM polling NO without him.

looking forward to seeing this in the top spot

putting together my ballot i am struck by a couple of things, mainly that (a) i need to listen to brotherhood way more and (b) i hope i never hear republic again

i just can't believe how good Get Ready is. i have a new album by one of my all time favorite bands and i never knew about it.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 25 May 2013 01:44 (eleven years ago) link
i have listened to just about everything they have don within the last month or so. New Order are a great band.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 25 May 2013 01:45 (eleven years ago) link
done
ballot in. in the end i was surprised by how much i had to cut.
― modest birthday sherbs riff (electricsound), Saturday, 25 May 2013 01:47 (eleven years ago) link
Really glad you've come to appreciate Get Ready. You'll need to track down the pre-mix version now. Wish I had voted for the 60 MaH video now. Forgot how much I enjoyed it.
― brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 25 May 2013 01:58 (eleven years ago) link
how many ballots have you received yet, bee ok?

Is it a well-known fact that the synth line from 'All Day Long' is from the opening of Wagner's Rheingold?

Sent my ballot last night.

Picking 40 songs was much easier than I thought. Only 6 from the 90's on. Ranking them however....

Whoops, I forgot all about '60mph' but I made up for it with 'Rock the Shack' at 40?
Vote 'Chosen Time', people

"Chosen Time" OTM!
― ḉrut (crüt), Sunday, 26 May 2013 00:51 (eleven years ago) link
Chosen Time OTM indeed.
Doubt it has any hope of cracking the top 20, but my top slept-on album track is 'Sooner Than You Think'. The whole band at the top of their game, ridiculous lyrics included.

yeah, that is what i have taken from listening to their whole catalog in these last few weeks.
it has been a blast to be alive!

Sooner Than You Think placed top 20 on my ballot for sure.

Asking for help
Need someone's help to help with the art-work.
I was planing on running this poll during US hours from Tuesday thru Friday, since Monday is a holiday.
Now things have changed. Need to give the Doors some room, also work is going to get in the way a bit.
I'm going to start rolling out the poll Wednesday night but don't have enough time to make the picture's fun.
Asking for help: Would someone who has some time like to take over the picture aspect of this poll. Whatever you want to do i'll post with the results of the tracks poll.
email me at neworderpoll AT gmail dot com.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 26 May 2013 01:43 (eleven years ago) link
so someone is going to help me out with this poll.
Thanks!

someone = Millsner
i really liked his idea. will be much better than i would have done.

I still haven't voted. My ballot looks like a 15 year old made it. I might leave it that way.
As I've been thinking abt NO it strikes me how arbitrary my line is for lyrics that are too trite/corny/bad. Love Less is ok/Every Little Counts is not ok.
