Actually - The Pet Shop Boys.
What a great fucking album, just listening to it there. This was the first album i ever owned (I was 8) and use to listen to it constantly and the pet shop boys were the first band i ever saw live. Also The Pet Shop Boys at T in the park this year is still my stand out gig of the year, first time i had seen them live in years.
Anyway share your Pet Shop Boys appreciation here.

It was one of the first albums I ever owned too
I must have been about 7. I remember sitting in the lounge listening to it and banging on saucepans with wooden spoons for a drumkit.
I haven't listened to the album for years and years, but I still regularly listen to the singles from it.
Super duper superb album
Especially ‘What Have I Done to Deserve This?’, which is one of my favourite songs and probably just one of the all round bestestest songs ever ever ever.
John Peel
Once heard an interview with him when he said his son made him listen to Pet Shop Boys in the car (they took turns choosing music) and he had to admit he really liked them.
The interviewer then said "So why don't you play them on your show" and he responded "I don't think they need the exposure, they seem to be doing ok without me".
I am now listening to Behaviour.
What a beautiful song being boring is.
Behaviour...
...what an album. Melancholic pop at its finest.
My first album too
If you don't count Now 8, which was how I came to hear them in the first place.
Agreed with grouchland above - the first 4 are all utter classics.
this is one of my favourite childhood albums
right now i can't stop listening to i want to wake up
they were excellent at latitude and i'm seeing them again at o2
oh that derek jarman period..
it couldnt happen here, rent, kings cross... amazing album.
yeah agreed. amazing.
that west end girls - behaviour/ 1984 - 1990 era was pretty much unimpeachable.
re john peel, they did actually do a session for him:

agreed
I have to admit that when West End Girls came out, and I was 9 or 10, I didn't like it at all. But within a couple of years I'd changed my mind and they were one of my favourite bands up until Very, which for me was the last album of theirs I think is truly great.
just been listening to the remaster of this all day on repeat for the first time in a while, because of the Field Music covers. such a good album to just sit down and enjoy.
Please... aged 8.
The Britannia music club had a lot going for it as I don't think my Dad intended on buying it. Thinking back that arrangement where you had to tell them not to send you their record of the month and if you forgot they charged you for it is crazy.
My lil self preferred Spandau, Iron Maiden and *Michael* at the time although coming back to Discography a few years later when I was old enough to appreciate the lyrics made me realise how special PSB are / were.
yeah Please
is the shit no question.
oh and
in case any PSB fans have never seen it (it's never been available on VHS or DVD) *you must* watch this

it's the South Bank Show from 1991. filmed pretty much at the tail end of their 'imperial phase' it wipes the floor with any other doc i've ever seen of them. Neil T looks really pissed off all the way through but aside from that it's amazing.
