Most underrated PSB songs ?

#1 Post by ChrisLove »

I think that they have so many underrated songs to choose from the three which comes to my mind immediately are I'm Not Scared, You only tell me you love me when're drunk and The Sodom and Gomorrah show. All three songs are really really good and one of the best less known by them.
Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book. If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look.

Violence
A new life
Up against it
The view from your balcony
Silver age
For all of us
Always
You choose
Twentieth Century
Girls don’t cry
Vulnerable
Breathing space
Only the dark
Woof.

Disco.

Hit and Miss, a b-side of Before is one of my favourites, as is Breathing Space.

Nervously is the most underrated Pet Shop Boys song.

There are so many, so I'll be lazy and just pick three from Dog's list :lol:

- A new life
- Up against it
- Breathing space

I've said it all before, I'll say it all again - W̶e̶'r̶e̶ a̶l̶l̶ m̶o̶d̶e̶r̶n̶ m̶e̶n̶ - they've had enough tracks to be two bands. They could even have stopped the high-energy vs orchestration debate on here by splitting it along those lines.

I didn’t get where I am today
Between two islands
Breathing space
Wiedersehen

Always
Delusions of grandeur
Inside a dream
An open mind

A new life
It Couldn't Happen Here
This must be the place I waited years to leave
Young Offender
Discoteca
To step aside
Closer To Heaven
Here
Fugitive
Pandemonium
Listening

I have never underrated any of their songs, I think. But they themselves seem to underrate Was That What It Was which I believe is greatly liked by many of us. Could've fitted on an expanded Disco.

Oh yes! That's pretty much what I would have said. But leaving Always aside as I don't like it that much (I can't stand that autotune effect Neil has on his vocals).

Yes, this is one my favorite songs by them! Neil said it's one of his least favorite though, if I'm not mistaken.

I'd say most of their songs are underrated in a way, especially b-sides and album tracks.

Later tonight
Boy strange
I get along
Friendly fire
No time for tears
Twentieth century
Give it a go

I have a song in mind for the next topic about overrated PSB songs...
But I don't think anyone will dare create such a topic. Too controversial.
