10. Yes (2009)

“The first track on the song was very appropriate to start off with: Love etc is a very powerful and positive song about being happy regardless of what stage you are in your life. I really feel that this song is going to resonate with many people. I really love this song because it certainly resonated with me, and serves as a reminder to me to find happiness regardless of external circumstances.”

9. Disco (1986)

“Presented here are some of the best remixes of their earliest hits, as well as two fantastic b-sides. Though the remixes might seem a bit long-ish to someone brought up on 4 minute radio, each one is well-developed and gives the listener more time to appreciate the subtleties and grooves with these fresh new arrangements.”

8. Discography: The Complete Singles Collection (1991)

“Excellent collection of eighteen great singles from Pet Shop Boys. Takes me back to the 80s and 90s in a terrific way. Like any hits type of album, there will be some great ones missing if you’re a super-fan of Pet Shop Boys. For me, this is perfect as I’m more of a casual listener. Top-notch!”

7. Electric (2013)

“This album has everything a PSB fan could want. Odes to their past, genius innovation, and an energy that is truly infectious. This work so blows away anything else out there in the EDM genre including Daft Punk who I also love. It is not that Daft Punk is bad in comparison it is just it is not fair to compare the two proverbial apples and oranges because Electric is on such a higher plane.”

6. Bilingual (1996)

“This album tends to divide PSB fans but for me this is quite possibly their finest hour overall. It combines the beautifully contemplative The Survivors and Before with the over-the-top percussion of Discoteca and Single and the delirious Metamorphosis and A Red Letter Day. The moods swing further than on most of the their albums but it sits together incredibly well as a cohesive whole. As always, great melodies are liberally scattered throughout but they have gone for something different on a number of the arrangements and the closer you listen, the more is revealed. Enjoy.”

5. Very (1993)

“”Very” is the work of a pair of musicians at the height of their creative powers, filled with extraordinary songs that took the introspective themes of “Behaviour” and magnified them. That this came out around the time when Tennant revealed his homosexuality is no coincidence; the revelation allows the band to take risks and explore lyrics that they were hesitated to explore earlier. The music is stronger, the melodies are richer and the dance arrangements more intoxicating.”

4. Please (1986)

“he music has a certain quality that was never equaled in their later albums. Specifically, there is something dark about “Please”. It has a cold longing to it that worked, especially considering the image of the band at the time–unsmiling, detached, seemingly far removed from the creation of their own album.”

3. Introspective (1988)

“Introspective is the ultimate commercial-pop combination in Pet Shop Boys’ ouvre, closing the circle that started with Please and peaked in Actually, which showcases Boys’ brilliance how pop is done, before the duo sadly moved into more experimental waters.”

2. Behaviour (1990)

“Behavior has many things going for it. After scoring a few hits on their prior albums, PSB were free to experiment. The songwriting is top-notch, with brilliant lyrics that never sound trite or gimmicky. Each song is carefully crafted, with just the right sound. And, in my opinion, Neil’s singing has never sounded better.”

1. Actually (1987)

“ACTUALLY ended up being a template for the many, many more Masterpieces these gentlemen would eventually deliver the masses in the decades to come and for future generations to discover. Pet Shop Boys were no “one off” 80’s anomaly just as the brilliant ACTUALLY, their sophomore release, would not be their last but one of dozens of releases right up to and beyond 2017. They are unparalleled and unmatched prolific writers of music.”
