#NewOrderTop30
Here’s the playlist of the top 30 New Order songs as voted for in the month-long April challenge. I think the top 15 pretty much picked themselves but it’s still one hell of a selection. Thank you once again to all who took part. 💿🎧

a list containing the ranked top 30 New Order songs just posted in April. unfortunately, character recognition does not work with my writing.

I have seen some posting the list, though I am lazy to typed them up.

I put “ Temptation ” and that instigated a shuffling and replacement: rankings are difficult, but…

I welcome the inconsequential exercise to check where things are: a fire hose of music these days.

1. Ceremony

I prefer the quartet version. I could listen to the "Forever..." part for hours with BS & GG's guitars chiming away together alongside PH & SM's fab rhythms.

The video below contains my fave live version...

So that's my #NewOrderTop30 in full. One of the greatest bands ever and a firm favourite of mine-was a difficult pleasure putting this together! Thanks to @tansleyjames.bsky.social for setting this up 👍

Day 3️⃣0️⃣: "Regret"
was the lead single from the album Republic, which marked a shift toward a more guitar-driven sound while retaining the band's signature electronic elements.

@paulba31.bsky.social reminded me of New Order performing True Faith live on #totp when it was rare for any band to do so (see vid).

Happily, it was a lot more successful than the challenging Blue Monday performance!

I’ve managed to completely miss the #NewOrderTop30 Just thinking about trying to produce one gives me a headache. As for your No1, I still remember the live performance on TOTP. Seminal.

1. True Faith (1987 single)

The song that had the biggest influence on me and that’s why it is my top pick.

Not just my fav New Order song but my all time fav song.

“I feel so extraordinary…”

True Faith
When I started this challenge, I picked Shellshock because it's one of my favorites, and I wasn't sure if I would put the songs in any order. True Faith deserves the top spot (I love the video!), but I'd put Shellshock at 1A. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfI1...

1: fac 73 'Blue Monday'

I can see why some folk might be bored with it but it has never lost its allure for me. I still get a frisson of excitement every time I hear it.

I really enjoyed this challenge. Thanks to @tansleyjames.bsky.social for hosting.

My #NewOrderTop30 recap. Of course, the order and the songs (for the bottom half, let's say) change depending on the day, as any good New Order fan knows! So many I had to leave off that I think I might create a Top 50 at some point! 😅

#NewOrderTop30 0️⃣1️⃣ Bizarre Love Triangle Extended Dance Mix version. A perfect song that makes you dance & sing, with a slight alternative edge. Something about the synths and the arrangement makes your heart soar. Love the recent versions but see 2:27 for the scream. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfru...

Temptation

One of the first New Order songs I heard back in the 80s and I’ve loved it ever since.

Recap of the full list

And my #NewOrderTop30 list comes to its conclusion.

I've always loved this song, in all its incarnations, even if Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield thinks the lyrics are god-awful 😂

1. Ceremony

Most of us would do a different Top 30 if we were doing them again from tomorrow. Just shows how many great New Order songs have done. Thanks to @tansleyjames.bsky.social

1. New Order: Ceremony (Alt 12” version)

An integral part of my bloodstream. Still hits me nearly as hard as it did 30 years ago. Also, this is the 15th time I post this song. Time to do other types of challenges..😆. Thanks @tansleyjames.bsky.social
