February 7, 20223 yr Tomorrow we'll see the track was either No 1 or 2 in the rate for SOME TIME! I was fairly certain what it would be from this clue - and so it was. It's A Sin is a fantastic, towering and brave pop song. It would have made a worthy winner, runner-up, or even third to complete a neat 3-6-9 for PSB, but great to see it come this far anyway. The last 3 all got 4-10 points from me, so were some way behind and I don't have too strong a preference - but a Human League win would be something.
February 7, 20223 yr It’s A Sin is brilliant though it didn’t quite make my votes. Always On My Mind is my favourite of theirs - that riff just takes the song to a completely different level. I’m glad I gave my 2 PSB slots to AOMM and to Heart which needed the points more.
February 7, 20223 yr Gahhhh! Should’ve been top 3! Interestingly I was expecting that to be dandy*’s 30 pointer. Hmmmm!
February 7, 20223 yr What a classic. Jonathan King pissed of the boys when he covered Cat Stevens' Wild World in the style of It's A Sin because there's a vague melody similarity at some point in the chorus. I seem to recall he financially came to regret that decision.... Was hoping this would top of the top 5, but hey ho not to be. It's A Sin! :D
February 7, 20223 yr Brilliant result for 'It's A Sin'! I think that was the first Pet Shop Boys song I ever came across and its urgency really made me sit up and take notice. All of the top 3 are within the top tier of my votes... fantastic :wub:
February 7, 20223 yr Cant argue with that top 3, as all 3 were in my top 3 Its a Sin should be 10 places lower imo, so kinda glad it's out... Surprised no one gave Its a Sin a 30! Edited February 8, 20223 yr by Bjork
February 7, 20223 yr Colm did, it’s just the same size font I was so close to having my top 3 as the top 3!!!
February 7, 20223 yr I like It's a Sin a lot, though I am glad it's out just because it means I actually voted for all of the top 3 this time *. They were all very close together in my votes IIRC so intrigued to see how close it is :thinking:
February 8, 20223 yr Lots of people saying they scored the Top 3 quite evenly. I gave them 29, 21 and 0. :D
February 8, 20223 yr 29, 0 and 0 for me, eek! I don't dislike the other two by any means though, one was about 32nd in my vote, the other top 40.
February 8, 20223 yr I’ve also only voted for one of the three, but I had to check first, so depending on the day I could have voted for all three.
