The best ones (for me, of course): "Cries and Whispers", "MTO", "Sabotage" and "Player in the League".
Eh, but "Brutal" is not a B-side... |

"Lonesome Tonight"
It's one of their 3 b-sides that I prefer to it's a-side (the others being "Don't Do It" and "Such a Good Thing").

This shows how great New Order is. Even their B sides are fantastic and it's hard to choose a favorite.

In '93 Steve told Peel they usually fobbed you off with remixes and dubs and he regretted relegating '1963' to B-side status (some tossbag will now point out it became an A-side in '95. Oh fuck, it was me.) Best B-side is 1963 by a cunty mile. I actually hate Hurt but apparently it was better live as it lent itself to improv in their experimental heyday.

I like '1963' the best, but I also like 'MTO', 'Vicious Circle', 'Behind Closed Doors', 'Sabotage', and Player In The League'. 'Hurt' is also quite good IMO,

Lonesome Tonight is a wonderfully melancholic track. A real lost treasure from their catalogue.
Would love to hear them play this again as a slowy during the mid-part of the set.

My personal favourite is 1963... Apparently I have. Such A Good Thing?!?!!? It was a b-side to the 2002 re-release of World In Motion. Quite possibly their worst ever song in my opinion (after rock the shack of course). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPlLmqYXimYEdited by user 17 February 2013 07:04:45(UTC)

another vote for Lonesome Tonight -- not only a best b-side, but one of their best songs -- just so damn majestic
edit: yeah, 1963 is a tie... forgot it was a b-side!

Lonesome Tonight is just lush, awesome, great. New Order at the peak of their production style. The sound is beautiful, their peers had to be jealous as hell... and before they learned how to make more "proper/normal" songs. I always liked the B sides in the 80s. Recorded the vinyl album of the era on one side of the 90 min cassette, then all the A and B sides on the other side of the tape, so I never regarded the B sides to be secondary to the album songs.

Everything's Gone Green was also technically a B-side first, so it shares that with 1963.
Count me as another vote for Lonesome Tonight.
