I wasn’t going to bother my hole doing this, but i’ve been immensely jealous of all the attention everyone who posted one up got.

It’s hard to take you seriously Mark. Any list with Nirvana , The Smiths and Oasis on it lets the rest of it down. That’s very poor taste and judgement.

3

And those jumped up rabble rousing alco’s The Wolfe Tones.

4

Intriguing list

5

A tiny bit of banter on my part, pal. I can be a right devil at times.

6

Of all the lists I’ve seen this is probably the closest to my own taste in music

7

I thought the devil was dead?

8

The amount of dickheads who’ve selected Blue Monday as their token New Order selection is staggering. Cunts.

9

Temptation 87 would be my selection I think

@Mac no doubt enjoys World in Motion featuring John Barnes. New Order’s only number 1 UK single.

10

Some say he is

Temptation is easily New Order’s best track.

12

That’s pure dacint music man. Only slagging.:wink:

I couldn’t name a single New Order song without looking it up. I know what Blue Monday sounds like but wouldn’t have known the name.

14

I chose Thieves Like Us.

Which makes my list better than this.

Thus far I’d rank them:

  1. Mine
  2. Farmer’s
  3. Fag’s
  4. Someone who I can’t remember but complimented
  5. Everyone else
15

Is that supposed to be a boast or a confession?

16

Mine has been the best so far.

17

A confession. I’m a mad Bruce Springsteen fan, what would I have to boast about music-wise!

18

Good list, a lot of it pretty close to mine I’d say. But what’s with the few sneaky hipster indie bands sneaking in? The Libertines :rolleyes:

Think that was the criminally underrated Kremmen’s Krackers.

That was an excellent one alright.
