Re: The Pet Shop Boys
I absolutely cannot stand this lot. Just the mere mention of their name makes me angry
I think it's Tennant's voice. Whiny horrible noise.

Re: The Pet Shop Boys
"She arrived at the studio on time, in a black leather designer jacket and high-heeled boots, with blonde hair and black eye make-up, clutching the lyric-sheet of the song, annotated and underlined. Chris Lowe, Stephen Hague and I began to consult with the legend about how to sing our song and she was very nice, surprisingly a little lacking in self-confidence. As if by telepathy, a Dusty fan appeared on the studio doorstep and was invited in to listen. Dusty’s English secretary arrived bearing a new compilation cassette. 'They keep repackaging the old songs,' the legend marveled. Then she went through to sing.
Her voice was the same as ever. When she sang her solo part 'Since you went away ...' everyone in the control room smiled. She sounded just like she used to. Breathy, warm, thrilling. Like Dusty Springfield."

Re: The Pet Shop Boys
They're on my list of artistes, who whenever they are played on the radio I have to immediately change to a different station.
Joining them on the list are Stevie Wonder, Gabrielle and Erasure.

Re: The Pet Shop Boys
I'll be honest with you I don't know how they've got away with the same old schtick for the past 40 years almost.
Sub Morrisey lyrics set to Giorgio Moroder disco tracks.
At least the likes of Soft Cell ( whose template they also copied) had some passion.
PSB just leave me cold.

Re: The Pet Shop Boys
I do the same with the Pet Shop Boys and Kate Bush.
But Stevie Wonder is a bona fide musical genius and should be turned up to 11!

Re: The Pet Shop Boys
Dude.... if you can't find joy in Erasure, I fear you maybe musically dead.
If you can't find joy in Stevie Wonder, I fear you maybe clinically dead.
Saw the PSB at Glasto in 2019, an absolute joy. Banger after banger
