He has good taste. "Hit Music" may not be particularly popular with members of this forum judging from some of the things said about this track, but I like it

Can't go wrong with Dolly Parton, New Order or The Pogues, either

I love Hit Music.

A lot of good artists on the list, but I would personally have chosen completely different tracks by most of those artists.

I love PSB, but don't like Hit Music much.

I like Michael Jackson, but don't like Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.

I like New Order, but find Regret average.

I could go on. Nice choices on the songs from Prince, Radiohead, Faithless and The Pogues.

I like Hit Music, the lyrics' sting in the tail "desperate" is Neil at his best

I love Hit Music. I especially like the bit where Neil says 'in Stereo' and the word stereo is actually in stereo. Very clever.

I like Hit music too! I also like How can you expect to be taken seriously? (album version).

For almost every artist on his list, GM picks one of their key tracks, best-known or most essential tracks. For Pet Shop Boys he picks one of their very worst album tracks ever.

It's funny. I remember reading about how much GM loved It always comes as a surprise in the Bilingual reissue booklet, but when I asked him about it he couldn't remember the song at all! Bloody pothead

Funny, coz according to PSB the slow ending of Hit Music was mainly influenced by G. Michael´s "Careless Whisper"!;)

Interesting he neglected to include his all time favourite artists Stevie Wonder and Elton John. Must be 'cos he fell out with them. Mind you, he fell out with Jacko too.

I always thought George did a nod to PSB's 'Before' on 'Outside', with the extended Before, before, before bit.

"You know you got it, you want it, I never really said it before"

For Pet Shop Boys he picks one of their very worst album tracks ever.

Disagree.


Hit Music is better than nearly all the album tracks on Bilingual and Nightlife.

I could tell you tons about what happened on the flight that PSB and GM too back from South America on the Discovery tour. It's scandalous, but of course I'm not going to.
