Wrapping Up Pet Shop Boys Week With My Five Favorite Tracks

Dan Gibson | February 20, 2009 5:00 am

Ever since the leak of “Love etc.”, my affections for the Pet Shop Boys have been revitalized; the performance commemorating their lifetime achievement award (or whatever they called it) at the Brits earlier this week really reminded me of how great they are. In that spirit, here are my five favorite Pet Shop Boys singles. (I have no idea why I’m restricting this to just singles, other than doing so restricts the possibility of me slapping my head later wondering why I forgot [fill in the blank].)

5. “Home and Dry”:

4. “Left To My Own Devices”:

3. “Liberation”:

2. “I Wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind Of Thing”:

1. “It’s A Sin”:

Still, I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon thinking that I should have included “Being Boring” or “Can You Forgive Her?”, but so be it. If you’re having a Pet Shop Boys week as well, feel free to contribute your top five.
