"The world moves on a woman's hips / The world moves, and it swivels and bops"

I've never had a change of heart so radical for an album as I had with Remain In Light. First time I heard it like 2 years I ago I hated it and couldn't understand why so many people loved it. I tried listening to it again and I can't believe it's one of my favorite albums ever. It's a masterpiece and I'm seriously debating if to give this a 100 or not and break my 'One 100 per decade'.

"Bolts from above hurt the people down below / People in this world, we have no place to go"

New Order's best material was released throughout their carreer as mainly singles that didn't make it into albums. That's why I'm counting this as this band's best record. And I'm only really counting the LP 12 song version (although the second disc features some great b-sides such as "Procession" and "1963").

Favorite tracks: "Ceremony", "Temptation", "Blue Monday", "Thieves Like Us", "True Faith" [First added to this chart: 07/08/2017]
