In the pub tonight we realised that even if you include songs the PSB wrote or co-wrote or produced for other people (or ESPECIALLY if) they reign supreme - "Nothing Has Been Proved"; "In Private"; "Getting Away With It"; "Losing My Mind"

Of those all, I think "World," "I Cried" and maybe "King Heroin" are the only ones I could do without.

This is so true, they were so good they could even make Patsy Kensit sound fab.
Tom, have you heard Love is everywhere by Cicero? Imagine if Bill Drummond had decided to make gay disco records rather than stadium house, but decided to keep the bagpipes.

Now if I can give my opinion about PSB, I think their list extends way beyond 20. Am I the only one who thinks "I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing" is the happiest song EVER MADE? And I can't believe how much hate "Liberation" is getting. To me, it's such a sweet and heartfelt love song. Plus the melody is gorgeous! Then you have "Yesterday when I was mad", which is the best song about being in a band EVER MADE!!!
I could go on, but you get my point. I think some of the singles off Bilingual were questionable choices, but the single mix of "A red letter day" redeemed it and "Single-bilingual" had great remixes of "Discoteca" which should have been the A-side.
Also, can I get some love for "Absolutely fabulous"? Anyone?

There's a big hairy wart there in the middle called "I Was Born On Christmas Day", about which I'd totally forgotten as they sensibly missed it off "Smash The System".
Also Tim you cheat slightly by including double a-sides, don't you? You can include 52 Pilot too if you want.

First 20:
THE PRINCE ONE STEP BEYOND MY GIRL NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO (lead track on EP. If that doesn't count then add 'UNCLE SAM' to the end) BAGGY TROUSERSEMBARRASSMENT THE RETURN OF THE LOS PALMAS 7GREY DAYSHUT UP IT MUST BE LOVECARDIAC ARREST HOUSE OF FUNDRIVING IN MY CAROUR HOUSETOMORROW'S (JUST ANOTHER DAY) WINGS OF A DOVETHE SUN AND THE RAIN MICHAEL CAINEONE BETTER DAY YESTERDAY'S MEN
For me, that beats the Pet Shop Boys' run, the 'my car is parked outside / I'm afraid it doesn't work' line notwithstanding.
