Pet Shop Boys Community

I just made myself what I consider to be the best of Pet Shop Boys CD1/CD2.

Here's the track listing...In no particular order:-

CD1


After All (live) Concrete
Rent (Extended Mix)
I Made My Excuses & Left Fundamental
Numb (live) Concrete
Fugitive Fundamentalism
DJ Culture (Extended Mix)
Being Boring (Extended Mix)
Integral (live) Concrete
The Soddam & Gomorrah Show (live) Concrete
Left To My Own Devices (live) Concrete


CD2


It's Alright (live) Concrete
It's a Sin (live) Concrete
West End Girls (live) Concrete
No Time For Tears Battleship Potemkin
Disappointed Electronic
Bright Young Things (B-side to Numb)
So Hard Behaviour
Young Offender (Jam & Spoon Trip-O-Matic Fairy Tale Mix) CD2 Liberation
I'm with Stupid Fundamental
Love Comes Quickly Please
One Thing Leads To Another Relentless

I gather you like Concrete but where on earth is Party Song and Jack The Lad? I actually made a cd up like this with Rent dub mix and it sounds really fresh, a very good idea.

It's very hard just to pick 20/21 songs, as PSB have so many great songs, my list started with about 50 odd & I just kept filtering it down to this. As for Party Song Sorry but I don't like it. Jack the Lad is good but not in my top 50.

Here we go! Watch the deluge of anti-numb!

Personally I would have laid off on quite so many concrete tracks, my favourite I did a few months ago- but the angle was slightly rarer stuff for a friend who loved the boys but had missed out on a few things ie. this stuff:

My night: Closer to heaven cast
Try it (in love with a married man)
Flamboyant (Kompakt mix)
Always
Dj Culturemix
Discoteca (new version)
For all of us (demo)
Love Comes Quickly (Blank and Jones mix)
Girls Don't Cry
Little Black Dress (demo)
Tonight is Forever (Liza Minelli version)

I can't do just 21 tracks, so I did a revised PopArt...

CD1
01 Go West
02 Minimal
03 Happiness Is An Option
04 Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)
05 Heart

09 Can You Forgive Her
10 Fugitive
11 It Must Be Obvious
12 Before

14 West End Girls
15 DJ Culture

Now that's what I call music. Great list dVTB

Thanks, Philip. I liked yours too

Oh, the version of Seriously is of course the 7-inch version

Best way to get this, is to rip it from the PopArt DVD with DVD Audio Extractor!
Sounds better than the 7-inch.
