Rate

 

Welcome to Part 1 of the Buzzjack Pet Shop Boys rate. The rate only comprises their official UK released singles and the first part is for their first 25 singles 1984 to 1994. There is also a bonus question on your favourite album tracks or non-UK singles. In the next round you'll be able to rate their other 20 singles from Paninaro '95 to Together, and the nominated album tracks.

 

Rules: You can give as many 10's and 0's as you want, however you can only give two 11s and two -1s (but of course, a 11 & -1 aren't required).

 

In the bonus question, please list up to three of your favourite Pet Shop Boys tracks that were not UK singles from any point in their career. This includes anything released on an album, but not if the track was unreleased by the group (for example Love Life by Alcazar or Nothing Has Been Proved by Dusty Springfield).

 

Thanks everyone!

This is going to be difficult. Loving the title as well :)

 

It nay be worth posting something in the indie and retro forums to advertise this. I'm sure a lot of people who don't normally visit the pop forum will be interested.

  • Author
I'll put a thing in my sig later. PSBs aren't indie, but some of their material is definitely alternative. I'll do it tonight.

Would like to give 10 pts to all...Have to use PSB standards (= 7 would mean 9 for any other act)

Thanks for all the responses so far. Yes I was going to include Integral in the next round, but since it wasn't really promoted as a single, I'm not sure now...

Well I like it and frankly don't care if I'm ridiculed for liking it. We all have different tastes -_-

 

This non-single selection, is it non-single tracks from their whole career we're nominating, or non-single tracks from 84-94, because if it's the former then I'd like to change my second selection and add a third.
