I love the ‘Actually’ album, Love Comes Quickly, Why Don’t We Live Together, then the Disco album with Paninaro on it. Wicked tracks…

Well & truly shit. He talks rather than sings. West end girls is a good pop record though.

    Pet Shop Boys are shit? I’ve fucking heard it all now.

    Smallman1 heresy Edward - genuinely groundbreaking, fresh and edgy at the time…opened up a whole new horizon for some of us

      West End Girls is probaly one of my all time favourite tracks however aside form the Sasha remix whish loses the baseline really rendering it pretty insignificant, there are no great remixes that i have heard. Are there any?
      The ones on Simon’s link above are not for me.

        seanc80 The Morales Red Zone mix is their best remix. I still play that…well…used to 🙄

          Bizarre that there are so many loosers in this thread dissing the Pet Shop Boys.

          It’s really akin to saying ‘Giorgio Moroder - load of old shite’ or ’Depeche Mode’s Violator? Utter wank’.

          No appreciation for what they did in bringing house music to audiences who hadn’t engaged with it before.

          Biting satire of the 80s life…

          alistair West End Girls, Love Comes Quickly, Being Boring, Rent, Left to my own devices, Domino Dancing, Suburbia, What Have I done to deserve this, Heart and It’s a Sin.

          Agree with the exception of Heart. I think it may have been their only number 1 (can’t be arsed checking) apart from West End Girls but even Tennant dismissed it as throwaway and I tend to agree.

              bosstrabs it was one of four UK number ones, the others being Its a Sin, Always on my mind and West End Girls. Love Heart (esp Shep’s Disco mix) including its marvellously eccentric wedding video with Ian McKellan and Patrick McNee

                bosstrabs you knew this was their imperial phase, because they were penning big hit records for the likes of Eighth Wonder, Dusty Springfield and Liza Minelli.
