Fave Song

#1 Post by Straight_Talker »

Come on, now! I often think which is my favourite PSB song. If I could only take one with me to a desert island.

Mine would be:

“Left to my own devices” - Introspective version

What would yours be?

None of this “either this or that crap (!!!)”

Choose one!
More strobes and BANGING, please!

I'm waiting for all the "Being Boring" responses....

This is tricky though - possibly the long version of Paninaro. That way you get some Neil, Chris and a banging tune in one neat package.

I mean, at least for me, it will always have to be Being boring. Even though my current favourite is probably A new bohemia, nothing beats Being boring in the long term for me.

As a fan of nearly 40 odd years, I feel it’s my duty to go for a super-obscure deep cut. Perhaps a rarer-than-rocking-horse-s**t white label remix. Maybe, be totally iconoclastic and say Winner…. At the very least, I should be repeating the mantra of Being Boring… But no, in all honesty, it’s the 7” of their cover of Always on my mind… 4 minutes of pop perfection. Simple as.

On a desert island - To Step Aside - the best of Psb as an extract put inside a container.

The one that started it all for me - the second version of West End Girls.
