I feel so extraordinary somePoll's got a hold on me: NEW ORDER artist poll #37 (RESULTS thread)

Why does nobody else love "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" like I do? I can barely make it to the end without tears welling in my eyes.

The song or the album? I love both but It seems like that is the minority opinion. Turn is fantastic too.

The song, specifically - the album has a few dodgy moments but the song is perfect, for my money. If only Gillian had been on board, it would have been the perfect elegy for the original lineup.

Not much to disagree with, except with the record-buying public of the UK. How could they not have sent three of the best (in fact, three of my four favourite New Order singles - "Perfect Kiss", "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "Run") into the Top 40?

Yeah, remind me where these songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 again? ;)

I do know what you mean, though, 'Bizarre Love Triangle' particularly really should have been a Top 40 hit, especially in 1986. I was just looking at what the actual Top 40 was the week that 'Bizarre Love Triangle' peaked at #56 and it's better than the entire Top 20.

Who cares what's in the Billboard Hot 100? :S

Not me, that's for sure.

Original image? I still have them all, Bee OK. Which one were you referring to?

I love "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" (the song - the album is merely OK). The chorus and bridge are really affecting.

this was the first poll i ever run on ILM, now i'm at around 10. i have noticed that the images have disappeared and have been promising to correct that. this poll also started a new trend for these artist ballot polls where there were co-contributors. i did the balloting with the roll out and Millsner did the images for this one. i wanted to get this done before we start the first artist poll for this new decade and ironically it will start at ILM Ballot Poll 100 for 2020.

love that the sources for the pictures are included on them
this was a serious PITA, but unattributed pics are so rampant on fan pages that I would've felt shitty for perpetuating the problem.

Very fond memories of working on these. One of the all-time best ILM polls, I’ll humbly add.

it was great fun.

thanks for the pictures all over again. i want a hard copy so since i'm downloading them anyways, i'm going to continue this exercise.

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

ok, i'm done now

So, do we think Singularity would place in the top twenty now? I'd be tempted to vote it very high.

These pictures are beautiful Millsner, you did an amazing job with this poll. You too Bee!

This thread springs to life every now and then, and I'm always happy when it does. Thanks, Bee, and everyone who participated.

They're touring with the Pet Shop Boys ...

got invited to this but i think i have seen New Order enough in my life. i will see.

I've never seen New Order so I'm kind of all over this

The three times I've seen them have been Hook-less, all good to outstanding.

I've seen them ...4 times, maybe? One with Hook, the rest without, but they've all been good. However, every time I've seen the PSBs (maybe 5?) they've been better, or at least I had a better time. NO always felt pretty nostalgia show, as solid as they were. PSB introduced more surprises: different mixes, a good selection of songs. The bigger question is whether the two will collaborate on any of the Electronic songs. A highlight of seeing Johnny Marr the last time he came through town was him playing "Getting Away With It."

(Note to tour people: they should just add Johnny Marr to the bill, as featured player.)

I saw them once with Hook way back in 1989, which I'm grateful for simply because I think the various emerging solo ventures after that essentially broke what had been a steady dynamic (at least in terms of Sumner/Hook/Morris having been working together since '77). But I've not seen them since, so I'm intrigued to see them again now with all that time and distance. That 1989 crowd was a worshipful LA-area KROQ bedrock experience, young and enraptured -- and clearly that can't be the case this time around, growing old means that much.

New Order sound great as a band, and they do different versions of their songs now, which is fun to hear, but holy shit, Bernard Sumner is somehow even worse of a live singer now than he was back in the day, and he was really shit back in the day too. Anyway, should be fun, but just don't go because you love Bernard's voice.

I go for the lyrics.

Anyone who goes to see New Order live because they love Bernard Sumner's voice is insane

I earned the highest GPA of any senior from the Bernard Sumner School of Advanced Lyric Writing and Singing, and I would never check out NO to revel in his pipes.
