Many great video's but my absolute #1 is Can You Forgive Her

A fantastic combination of very original sounding, unique music and very 'new' techniques and an historic outfit. It's just the combination that's so smashing :D

Other favourites include: Liberation, A Red Letter Day, Before (great, colourful video), Flamboyant, DJ Culture and Single Bilingual. And of course the work of art called Home And Dry :wink:

I also find it very difficult to pick up a favourite, but:

Go west
Can you forgive her?
What have I done to deserve this

As for live/TV appearances, I've always adored every performance of "Always on my mind" because it's my favourite song.

And that's a good thing. With so many good videos, why shouldn't
our faves change, just like songs.

Honourable mention :
West End Girls, Liberation, Being Boring.

Underestimated :
Jealousy. Such a good story going on. Watch the girls' eyes.

Current fave :
Miracles. The video enhances the song and the song enhances the video. Clever.
Usually one lets down t'other.
Seems its too difficult on here for a person to pick a favourite video.

"I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore" Video

I still remember the sensation seeing it the first time on MTV...

Being Boring is the greatest, by my favourite is Minimal, followed by Single-Bilingual.

My favourite would be Flamboyant... closely by I'm with Stupid

Reasons for Flamboyant:
I love the whole idea about the Pet Shop Boys appearing in Fake adverts.

Reasons for I'm with Stupid:
I love the idea of "self parody" They are basiccally making fun of themselves... :D
Listen without prejudice

My, my ... this is So Hard:
(That's not my pick - just an observation __)

All the Very videos really stand out in my mind. As does Ab Fab. And Miracles. And Drunk. And Heart. And I'm with Stupid.
Oh dear, maybe a shorter list would be the ones I don't like ~

Well, alright then, my CURRENT Fave === Yesterday when I was mad.
Vivid. Funny. Memorable. Apropos.
I like it here ~~ wherever it is ...

There are too many to choose from!

One of theese, I guess: I don't know what you want but I can't give it anymore, Can you forgive her?, Yesterday when I was mad, Flamboyant, Being boring, So hard (the extended version is fav!!) and Single bilingual. (next week I'd probably choose other videos...)

Anyway, it's not like they have any really boring video, like Depeche Mode in that black and white era, where there was always a Dave Gahan walking slowly on jeans. Heh...

And I liked Home and dry!
