POLL Will Tear Us Apart – ILM Artist Poll #86 - JOY DIVISION – New Order solo or other groups Poll (aka the Electronic poll) – a NEW ORDER (#37) supplement poll --- Results Thread

And the garnishes after each verse: the chimes! Marr's flamenco solo! the oboe! And we can discuss the pizzicato synth strings.

interesting fact:

"Some Distant Memory" beat both "The Patience of a Saint" and "Tighten Up" despite getting one fewer vote. the three number ones is what pushed it over those and "Tighten Up" even got a number one vote too.

i was one of the "Some Distant Memory" number one vote. in the end it was a no doubter.

Over the yeras I've been astounded that so many of y'all agreed with me. Through the '90s and beyond I thought "Some Distant Memory" was my secret.

i hope people are having fun, i did drag this out a bit more than i anticipated doing.

4. Disappointed
By: Electronic
From: Songs from the "Cool World" Soundtrack
Released: June 22, 1992
366 Points, 9 Votes, 1 Number One

I did my ballot in such a rush that I nearly forgot to include "Disappointed". Such a jam

"Disappointed" was based on a piano riff by Marr's brother Ian; and worked up into a full backing-track by Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner. They decided to ask Neil Tennant to complete the song and he wrote the lyrics and vocal melody. Some of the words ("Disenchanted once more...") were partly inspired by Mylène Farmer's 1991 hit "Désenchantée".[2] Tennant travelled to Manchester to record the lead vocal and a few weeks later went to Paris to attend the final mix of the song by Stephen Hague.

Although Electronic would enjoy three more Top 20 singles in the UK, "Disappointed" was the last major commercial success for the band on an international level, becoming a dance chart hit in America and reaching the Top 20 in Germany as well as #6 in Britain (their highest UK position).

Until the release of Get the Message - The Best of Electronic in 2006, the track was not available on an Electronic album release. However, since "Disappointed" was featured in the 1992 film Cool World, the song was available on the soundtrack album Songs from the Cool World. It was also featured on Now That's What I Call Music (NOW) 22, where it appeared as track 14.

haha, i did forget about it and i didn't vote for it.

I remember "Disappointed" getting play on my college station that summer as one of the last classic Brit alternative hits before Nirvana rewrote everything.

3. What Do You Want from Me?
By: Monaco
From: Music For Pleasure
Single Released: 24 February 1997

i was wondering where this one would place. very surprised it ended up at number three, WOW.

here is the US video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhZKh0sXT1s

not on US YOutube:

The music video for the song features group members Peter Hook and David Potts entering a fancy casino along with many other glamorous people, including two women who appear to be with the both of them, plus two gothic-looking characters (male and female), a midget, and a glamorous-looking woman. As Potts plays roulette with a group of people, Hook plays his bass and sings beneath the glass table. Just before the chorus, Hook appears outside and Potts assists in singing the chorus from underneath the glass. Later on, two back-up singers also appear underneath the glass. At another table, a dealer hands Hook some cards. He sneaks a peek at them as he sings. When he wins, the midget, along with many other people, appear at the table. The midget jumps up and down, cheering. The band then appear in a white room performing the song and also at what appears to be the front of the casino. The guests continue to enjoy themselves and the glamorous looking woman who entered with the midget throws something away in the trash. The midget appears in another part of the casino playing the featured piano solo while the gothic-looking man sits with the gothic-looking woman. He gestures to her as if to say he needs to be excused and goes off with the glamorous-looking woman as his former date looks on. Later on, a man grabs a woman's behind and she shoos him away while the back-up singers sing in to a microphone in another part of the casino. A woman kisses the midget on the head and another man has a drink poured on him by a woman as the band continues to play in the white room. At the end, the four women featured in the video leave the hotel smiling and Hook and Potts follow them out.

i'm trying

my spacing sucked today, usually i'm a lot more uniformed.

are we ready?

"Get the Message" -- god

Two music videos were made for "Getting Away with It". The first, directed by Chris Marker and produced by Michael Shamberg for European use in 1989, featured Sumner, Marr and Tennant in a studio environment miming to the single edit of the song. Additional footage of Marker's muse Catherine Belkhodja, strolling among peacocks through Paris Zoo and also singing to the track, was left out. The second, shot in 1990, was made for the US release. Sumner and Tennant appeared, alternately, against a series of coloured background, with artistic effects superimposed. Two women's faces are also panned in close-up.

"Getting Away With It" sounds too much like "Love My Way" for me to fully engage with it

Loving this.

Here's the amazing extended version of "Getting Away With It"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KflzQYOaf1I

Just spun the Unknown Pleasures LP. It still sounds so good. I actually feel like there's something oddly warm and comforting about it.

From: Songs from the "Cool World" Soundtrack
Released: June 22, 1992

this is from the Disappointed single, which came out before the Cool World film or (presumably) soundtrack

Cool results! 'Getting Away With It' is possibly my favourite song of all time.

I need to revisit the first Electronic album, I've only heard it in full a couple of times.

Selfish is the best St Etienne track never released.

I was waiting until the poll results to say the same thing ... "Selfish" could have been a minor classic along the lines of "Avenue" if St. Etienne had recorded it, rather than the nearly forgotten second single by the Other Two.

"What Do You Want From Me?" was my #1. Like "Regret" or "Crystal", it's catchy and propulsive from the opening notes and is immediately recognizable as New Order (even though it isn't). It also has one of the few great Peter Hook vocals outside of "Dreams Never End".

Getting Away With It is such a perfect song, glad to see it win. I love Reality, Gangster, and Some Distant memory so much too.

haha i used to love that monaco track

"Some Distant Memory" was my #1, for reasons mentioned upthread, and I also didn't think there were others who felt as strongly about it as I do. I completely forgot about "Spanish Heart", which is great, and don't think I'd ever consciously heard anything by The Other Two. Thanks to this poll I'll check those records out asap, because *both* these tracks sound like Saint Etienne trying to do their version of "Bizarre Love Triangle" - total catnip to me.

I'm still as unimpressed by Raise The Pressure as I was then, though.

The studio version of "Getting Away With It" was the version shown on MuchMusic. I wonder why the US needed a different video? I mean, it couldn't get better than Barney's shirt in that one.

Stephen & Gillian both play in the Stanton Miranda track that only I voted for. Recommended. They also played on & produced the first album by Miranda's project Thick Pigeon which is pretty good.

too low, though i guess i put it at the end of my ballot. my first favorite joy division song, i.e. the first moment on closer where i wasn't completely baffled

I find it kinda stodgy.

(I was a bit baffled and didn't pay enough attention to vote. Apols.)
