"Cheating"

That could be the name for the covers album - if they ever do it.

It must be obvious!!!!

Pet shop boys - Baddi

but if they should (hopefully) keep their trademarks of sound and production it should be:

pet shop boys, obviously

or

Obviously, Pet Shop Boys

so people could decisevely say to the record shop clerk when asked what they want to buy, what they want (stupid question, pet shop boys obviously) ..........

Yeah what will be the next PSB album title. It has to be an ironic one.

but PopArt was 2 discs... Pop and Art... PopArtMix was 3 discs... so, more of "bending the rules" rather than breaking them.

I guess, technically, Disco 2 and Disco 3 count as two-word titles, don't they? Perhaps they should name the next one Discofour

I'm all for one-word titles, actually.

I would still counting them as one-word titles.
Discofour sounds very good to my ears!

I never liked PopArt, its an old Transvision Vamp album title moreover. I dont want them to change the one word concept. its these quirks which make our Boys interested and unique..

Didnt Erasure do the 1 word thing, till I Say x3 come along ?!

I think The Human League did it first (not counting the Love And Dancing remix album)....

People tend to refer to albums by one word anyway: "Confessions", "Ziggy", etc.

No Erasure has not.

Madness sounds good.

Then it would be called "Thank_You" or "ThankYou", because true Pet Shop Boys don't use a spacebar.
