I seem to be on an 80's kick with this particular music countdown, which is songs with "dream" in the title. And while not every tune in this series is from that decade, #8 is: "Dreams Never End" by New Order.

After nine not-so-mainstream tunes, we have reached #1 in my Favorite 80's Dance Songs series, and there is a remote chance that you might recognize this one: "Blue Monday" by New Order.

It's only fitting that, after Nine Inch Nails' cover of Joy Division's "Dead Souls" hit #4 in this countdown, that the original Joy Division version occupies the #3 spot in my Favorite "Dead" Songs series.

#6 in my Top 10 New Order Songs series is a bit of a departure for the band.
