Pet Shop Boys....

Can someone with a more firm grip on the history of this band tell me what they have said about the song "West End Girls?" I just looked it up for meaning and the crack pot theories out there run the gamut

I somehow never found PSB quite as deep as T.S. ELIOT. Who knew.

I like synth-pop too, and for me, The Pet Shop Boys were one of the most prominent bands in that era.

As earlier mentioned, their song It's A Sin is awesome, as is Love Etc.

I feel they lost their way somewhat as they camped up their image.

Wikipedia...I'll be damned.

Thanks, Fred.

They really had their own sound, it really stood out.

Wow two years since this thread was created

I thought it best to resurrect this thread though rather than create a second one and clutter the place the up. Especially since Pet Shop Boys are in for a busy few months with starting their new tour and releasing their new album (both called Electric)

Anyhow - I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan for about three years or so now. I think they're so overlooked and Neil Tennant is one of the best songwriters in pop music. I actually think their best work was in the 90s: Behaviour and Very are my two favourite Pet Shop Boys eras. And I'd highly recommend their two B-sides compilations Format and Alternative to anyone who hasn't heard them. Their B-sides are better than their studio tracks more often than not.

Any other Pet Shop Boys fans around?
