This is probably going to come as a shock to those of you who only know that I'm recording a rock-oriented CD, but one of my favorite bands is Pet Shop Boys. Most people think of them as only Euro-Pop, which is certainly true. But they also write amazingly complex songs, both musically and lyrically. And they're weird and artistic in a way that shows everyone they don't take themselves too seriously. You get major points with me for being weird and silly and artistic. I self-tagged myself on ChickyBabe's blog to answer these questions with song titles from my favorite band. So, here we go...

Well done on the meme!
I like the Pet Shop Boys, "West End Girls", incidentally not my favourite, always takes me to a happy place!
ChickyBabe - It's funny, but when I mention PSB that's all that anyone thinks of is their early 80s stuff. I can't stand 80s music, frankly. I didn't get into them until their 1994 release "Very". I've liked just about every release since then.
Anyway, if you haven't checked any of their stuff out from the 90s, go directly to iTunes and download some PSB.
Niel - Ah, you GOTTA check out their more recent stuff. They released a new compilation of all their stuff a couple of years ago entitled "Pop Art". Great double-disc, every song worth the purchase price.
I've listened to their album Release, and that's got some great tracks on there; very different from their style in the 80s.
