Great song by a super band! New Order rules! Thanks for uploading!

I'm amazed at how people like this song, for what is essentially a rehash of the excellent 'Ceremony' from 13 years earlier! This is when the rot started to set in, with Barney playing what Eno would call 'unnecessary rhythm guitar'. They unfortunately became a very conventional band from here on, though could still manage to crank out the odd good track.

I prefer this to Ceremony...so there!

Yeh but Eno never had as many hit singles though did he.

[djh29971]

True, but when did having a hit a single make a difference? I'd rather go on a track being good or bad, rather than a hit or a miss. Regret is a very conventional record. You pay your money and takes your choice!

[sunbeam11]

Well Eno, like Robert Fripp, lives in a bit of an ivory tower looking down on Pop . Regret is a great pop song, just as Blue Monday was. Sometimes writing one shimmeringly good pop song will make your place in music history more assured than taking any number of mountains by strategy. Truly great visceral Pop songs are sadly few and far between and should be treasured when they appear.

i was only 8 years old in 1993, but this is one of my favourite songs ever. goes to show how time-enduring new order songs are.

I was nearly 2 when this song was released.

Never thought I would see that again! That performance blew me away I was 13 at the time! Thanks!
