Pet Shop Boys, extreme

#1 Post by ype »

Comparing, for example, Music for boys (Altern8 mix) to Decadence (unplugged mix), or Hold on to All the young dudes (I. JORDAN mix), what would you say is the most extreme gap in sound and style between any two PSB songs?

Pet Shop Boys - Diversity could also work as a title :)
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

I liked the idea and would go for If Love Were All and Euroboy.

I see some fine examples here from everyone. :)
A blues would be in B flat, pain defining wisdom,
but the soul is in the high hat, programmed in the system.
