Pet Shop Boys Community

spooky electronic...

I love it. They've done some excellent b-sides in recent years.... Blue on Blue, Sexy Northerner and I Didn't Get Where I Am Today are all as good as any b-sides they've ever done, in my mind.

New Wave and beyond... music without boundaries.

It's my favourite b-side off the fundamental singles (that is, until Fugitive gets released as a b-side)

I'm actually curious how all recent B-sides rank.... - Last year I did this Rank The Singles topic: viewtopic.php?t=8058
If people are interested, we could do something similar for the B-sides, but it will be lots of work, since there are no less than 59songs to rank.

Some speculation and A new life are there best b-side

I liked it at first but I think it's crap now. The lyrics are crap and I hate how it starts all of a sudden. Also, the end bit doesn't seem complete.

1. The Resurrectionist
2. No time for tears - 7" mix
3. Fugitive
4. Girls don't cry
5. In private - original/7" mix
6. Blue on blue

3 songs are missing:

Transparent
We're the Pet Shop Boys
I didn't get where I am today

I'm ready to rank!

Well noticed. I sort of went from album to album and forgot about the 2 PopArt singles for a while.

woah! you missed 3 songs?! you mustn't be a true fan then

I'd love to see what everybody's fave b-sides are because I've not listened to all the songs yet I'm sure. but I see already that one of MY faves -- TSOTAS -- is down in the dumps

Make the thread.
