Pet Shop Boys Community

everyone has heard of the pet shop boys

Amazing thread!

My mindset works first in order to give the message to that friend that he KNOWS Pet Shop Boys even if he think he doesn't know. So my pick would be one song which reached number 1. In Brazil:

- What have I done to deserve this
- Always on my mind
- Go West
- New York City Boy

etc...

I forgot to include one of my favorite songs: I don't know what you want...

All good songs but I must nitpick. Of the first two I would choose Always on my mind, one of their best, the other two are too 'gay' to present to someone that isn't into PSB.
I'm riding a thin line here but I hope you understand what I mean.

You live in a perfect world...
Most of us live in a world filled with ignorants

I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (Single Version)
You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk
I Get Along
Minimal

I think that covers all phases of their career, you don't have the gay dance songs but you still have some slower and some faster ones.

West End Girls ( PSB singing about girls, about as hetero as PSB could get)
Being Boring (actually a really gay song, but appeals to anyone with a past)
Hey Headmaster (i still don't know waht this song is really about, so it's safe)
In the Night (just cool, kinda gay)
Opportunities (beauty and the geek anyone?)inspired by midnight cowboy which is also gay
Mein Teil (psb mix) about a gay cannibal but rockin' and in german
Mope (psb mix) bloodhound gang, with FGTH samples
Miserablism (really has aged well) but he sings about drama
The Resurrectionist, (reminds me of coldplay)
PSB really went "gay" after working with Liza, still just about anything pre was it worth it minus, minus rent, later tonight, nervously.

Really tho, aren't you being dishonest by portraying PSB as a virile heterosexual techno pop duo? Best to pick your favorites and come out as a PSB fan.

Axl Rose is/was a big PSB fan, so who knows PSB may appeal to his more sensitive side, still if you are afraid of being called a poofster turd burglar, he will find out if he likes your CD and gets the full length albums stocked with gay innuendo, so compile at your own risk.
for someone who does not like PSB I would say

Battleship Potemkin - which is a fine piece of work, and leaves much to the imagination.

West End Girls & Minimal

Love is a catastrophe What Have I Done To Deserve This? Let's Make Lots Of Money Why Don't We Live Together? I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing
I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More I Want To Wake Up
My Head Is Spinning....

Being boring
Left to my own devices
Luna Park
Your funny uncle
Love is a Catastrophe
Discoteca / Single
Integral
ICHH
One More Chance
Jealousy

A mixture of different styles and different PSB eras.

Funny, i was thinking about the same thing today!!!

i'd go for What have I done to deserve this?, Can you forgive her?, Love comes quickly, Domino Dancing, Heart
To a trance fan, anything from Relentless

You guessed. When I first became a fan, I couldn't stop listening to Relentless, 'cause was always a trance fan (still am). All that proves how versatile PSB are which is totally great. In PSB catalogue, any music fan would find something for himself, although I think jazz style can't be found...

Being Boring

It´s a Sin, a legend which everyone knows.

axl rose has a sensitive side?

(I know, I know, he loves BB)

I've converted 3 few people to the PSB fold. The three tracks that did the trick were...

How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? (Mo mo mix)
Dreaming Of The Queen
Se A Vida E
