Oh, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes Oh, you've got Poll eyes: NEW ORDER Artist poll #37 (voting ends May 26 Midnight Pacific)

I bought the True Faith remix 12" because it was so pretty.

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?

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

(slightly unfair exaggeration)

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.

i have listened to just about everything they have don within the last month or so. New Order are a great band.

done

ballot in. in the end i was surprised by how much i had to cut.

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.

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....

we are up to 30

Will be sending mine in a few hours...

so i finally have my 40 songs, now to put them in order...

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

Vote 'Chosen Time', people

sent mine in Bee OK

"Chosen Time" OTM!

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.

so, who else had world in motion at #1?

lol

I forgot how good this band is

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!

every little counts

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.

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.

GET THOSE VOTES IN

12 hours left

can we discuss the heavy, awesome guitar freakout attack that is "Sunrise"?

That is the sound the sun makes as it rises. If you listen closely and you're up at that hour, you can hear it.

they were so cool they hired "the Killers" as proxies for the "Crystal" video.

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.

six hour are left

Yeah!! Ballot sent!! I just couldn't rank the 40 songs. Dreams Never End is my #1 followed by 1963 and Dream Attack. After that it would have taken me forever to rank the rest. Could I put Leave Me Alone before Sunrise? Where's Weirdo place? Temptation vs Touched by the Hand of God? Sleeper track is Mr. Disco. Hope it places high!! Most New Order video by long shot - Round and Round.

i expect my #1 to be at least top 5 - but i reckon i'll be well on my own with my #2

we so far have 37 for artist poll 37, not including mine.

VOTING IS STILL OPEN

and one more!

i have sent confirmation emails, if you haven't received it than re send it please.

I wouldn't vote the same way again. I did what I hate and voted strategically to ensure post Regret tracks got fair representation. Kind of fitting that I'm now filled with regret.

i hope it's not too late

voted!

you guys sure love "Crystal."

i'm going to bed, so if you are a bit late i will still count it.

finally voted

Yep, me too.
