New Order - Crap/Not Crap

[Sigmund Fraud]

Wouldn't go that far (Being Boiled is excellent and Dare is obviously a seminal must have in any serious collection).

You forgot to mention their output as The Future (1975-1977), Travelogue and Rerproduction - all of which are better than anything New Order ever did. Toyota City of the Travelogue LP is one of the finest electronic tracks ever made.

Too many good old records to be crap.

Utterly great music IMO, at least back in the day, one of the redeeming features of the 80's. Melody's in the bassline. I love 'em, profoundly oh yes.

 

[Rodders]

why are we even having this poll?

go and watch '24 hour party people' and 'neworder story', look at how personally responsible they were for bringing acid, techno, ecstasy and clubbing in general to this country, and then try and say they are crap.

fair play tho, last couple of albums have been shit.

Not crap, on the strength of being the most groundbreaking British band for the best part of 20 years. Rather than their embarrassing dancing-dad-at-school-disco-performances and "Woo! Come on, let me hear you say Love Will Tear Us Apart" shame of recent years.

So not crap - Dreams Never End, Temptation, True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle, As It Is When It Was, Sunrise. Come on, not crap!

 

[Boogie Boy]

On the basis of what I have heard - shite of the highest order.

The vote's against you. ^

Not crap. Peter Hook's awesome bass sound makes it not so.

that england record was shite tho.
