It's A Sin, their greatest hit and indeed a very memorable song from the 80s, is the song I like the most from them.
"It's a sin" was a monster hit yes, and one of the songs that got me hooked (as a kid). Actually, I think Neil Tennant's voice is one thing that defines their sound (how many synth bands have a 'sound' by the way?). It makes them stand out among the otherwise rather low-pitched synthster vocalists.
