Revelation - Official ILX Pet Shop Boys tracks poll results

I mean not enough space for all the B-sides I love - I still voted for 5.

haha I voted for 9

My #1 is a B-side.

I'm glad someone else voted for "Was That What It Was?". Don't expect it to make it though. I'm still hoping the other "I'm Not Scared" charts though. The "cannons" sample intro is incredible.

My top predictions:

B-Side - Paninaro
Single - Being Boring
Album track - 2/0

surprised that no one is picking West End Girls for top single.

Paninaro was a single, wasn't it?

I think WEG IS their best single. But "Being Boring" has always been the fans' favourite.

xpost - Sort of. Paninaro '95 was.

TS: Paninaro '95 vs Freedom '90

The Paninaro I love was never a single.

I may be the only PSB fan who never wants to hear "West End Girls" again.

I always think that until I actually hear it.

I'd rank the Please singles "Love Comes Quickly" > "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)" > "West End Girls" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Suburbia (single remix)"

Had they used the album version of "Suburbia" as the single, that would have been my favorite.

I like it but for many years it was the only single I heard on the radio; when I finally heard the rest of their catalog I never returned. I prefer "Opportunities" and "Loves Comes Quickly." The latter I've criminally underrated over the years until it snuck up on me recently and just made me cry.

LQC is such an astonishing song, it angers me that it never took off in the US

"West End Girls" = best song ever recorded (by anyone)

Now I think, "This is how falling in love sounds like."

Hello I just got here. I'm glad some of my selections already showed up ("Do I Have To?", "Liberation", "Your Funny Uncle") and some cuts I really love but couldn't vote for made it as well ("A Red Letter Day", "Some Speculation", "IDKWYWBICGIA").
I voted for 7 B-Sides. I'm pretty sure the #1 will be a single. It's one of two choices.

I love the version on Disco

RIF: This was the first song Tennant and Lowe wrote together.

For some reason I always thought In the night was a cover. Didn't make my ballot but came close.

man, these guys have a great great catalog

I am pretty certain only one song I detest will appear on this list

The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

first time I've seen that message on youtube

I see that all of the time, mostly because 90% of the official Cure videos throw it up

28. Flamboyant. (2003, Standalone, 161 points, 7 votes, 1 number one)

Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/3UVVJpL04BCkJhDY56NXwO

Yes! Didn't have room for it in my ballot, but I think it's great. Especially the Scissor Sisters remix. (x-post)

My friend was all "wtf" when he saw "I Want To Wake Up" on my ballot. Guess he was wrong.

26. I Want A Dog. (1988, B-Side/Introspective, 169 points, 7 votes, 0 number ones)

RIF: Tennant's homage to Iggy Pop.

and Johnny Marr's favorite PSB song!

25. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing. (1993, Very, 189 points, 9 votes, 1 number one)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnwREox5JrU

Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/0drsf7gl9GaqXH9Ry5gv7s

RIF: The only video to feature the Boys running.

My #2. Such a great happy song. The album version is my favorite.

I had no idea I Want a Dog was so popular.

Good to see Flamboyant make it, I wonder if that will be the highest of the later Pet Shop songs? Maybe Minimal will make it, I'm hoping The Way it Used to be will be in here somewhere.

Next up, my number one.

I voted for quite a few later songs, including "The Way It Used To Be".

I'm still hoping Fugitive will make it.

24. Young Offender. (1993, Very, 194 points, 7 votes, 1 number one)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNdfweCLbws

http://open.spotify.com/track/2mW9NoDYvVCz4wxixsGYjf

RIF: This pisses over the track with the same title by New Order.

This almost made my list, really love this song but I already had five songs from Very in my list.

So far, only 3 songs from my ballot.

I'll do what you want if you want me enough
I'll put down my book and start falling in love

Next up, a song we've already had.

23. I'm Not Scared. (1988, Introspective, 195 points, 8 votes, 0 number ones)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dj3ymyCl3s

Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/1nBb2RD977IqXEY3yWxjBW

RIF: Written by Tennant after successfully overcoming his agoraphobia.

daavid, I put Fugitive high on my ballot so you never know.

Only paid attention to Young offender after people were hyping it for the poll. Like it a lot.

Awesome. I voted for most of this batch. But... inexplicably, I'm not sure I've ever even heard "Flamboyant" before!!!

xpost: would never have guessed there was this much love for "I'm Not Scared" in any of its incarnations.

I'm Not Scared my number 5, Young Offender my number 2.

xxpost fingers crossed!

"I'm Not Scared" so far my favourite song on the list
