To say that Pet Shop Boys...

[BearSoFair]

Are the ultimate, undisputed masters of feel good music? I always seem to turn to them if I need a bit of a boost and they never let me down! DS1 has just declared them to be 'cringey old man pop' and I'm wondering where I went wrong raising him

“In the night” is one of my ultimate go to tunes.
So many memories in that track (and the whole ‘Disco’ album)

we saw them at bingley music festival a couple of years ago and they were brilliant I agree with you

I used to love the Pet Shop Boys. Luckily I have a ds who was "born in the wrong era" and listens to loads of 80's music.

Yes, they're ace.

I had tickets to see them next month but obviously it’s not happening 🙁

Actually the best band we saw live were OMD.

I like to blast their version of Always on my Mind when I need a pick me up

Love them. Have you watched them with Lady Gaga and Brandon Flowers at a tv or music award. Cant remember which but its on.YouTube

I fucking love them. Everyone used to laugh at me for loving them but they’re gods

The entire Actually album is their best

2009 Brit Awards

My favourite song is It's A Sin. Its brilliant, especially the middle bit.

They supported Take That a few years ago on their tour and they were absolutely brilliant!

West End Girls is one of those songs that I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard it. Stopped me in my tracks. It’s the sound of 80s teenagehood

They’re great, I saw them this summer in Hyde Park, they were lovely to my son and had a little dance with him.

Love them

I should have been seeing them next month as well Glad it's been rescheduled rather than cancelled...but a whole extra year to wait!

YANBU, thought they were so cool when I was a young teen, along with Erasure (my 1st gig) and Bronski beat. Takes me back to the Friday night youth club discos

I love a bit of Erasure too, Vince Clarke is a genius! Yazoo is his finest work though I think

Yeah I liked Erasure but thought Yazoo were better. Loved The Cure and The Smiths too. Happy times.

They're great - West End Girls is absolutely timeless. My favourite is Se a Vida E. Beautiful.

I bloody love them. Love that he covered The Streets have no name with a disco mashup of cant take my eyes of you just because Neil Tennant couldnt stand Bono and thought he was a egotistical tosser with a God complex.
Hes a total local hero to me as well. Grew up in my district of Newcastle and the song its a Sin was about St Cuthberts Catholic school, the school my brother was at when the song came out !

Nope. Not getting it. Been switching them off since the 1980s. Simply can't bear them.

Pretty good, but if you are after the feelgood factor .....ELO. Mr Blue Skies always hits the spot

Same here. Gotta wait another year now.
