You didn't have to suffer through them in their heyday. Or more precisely, the years and years after their heyday when they kept getting new records and terrible remixes played on the radio.

Chawk Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Aren't Public Service Broadcasting really the original PSB? They've always been PSB. I'd never heard anyone refer to Pet Shop Boys as PSB until the thewayiam PSB scandal of 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok 1 hour ago, donkeykong said: They will both play I think. PSB1 were rumoured in one of the other threads and PSB2 have a new album coming this year. I like both and am frankly furious at not having the option to vote accordingly Be furious no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Easy choice for me. Have always hated Pet Shop Boys, never understood why they were so popular. Maybe its because I wasnt alive during their peak. Plus Public Service Broadcasting are a really nice concept for a band - not really anyone else that does what they do (that I'm aware of). Gutted I never went to see them in 2015 at the Glade. Was clash hell for me that night - and I definitely picked the wrong option . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the Discography collection is one of the all time great compilations. It's just belter after belter after belter. The Service lads have got to produce another 4 or 5 albums and a dozen or so decent singles before this is even a fair fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you're right, in terms of legacy I'll happily accept Pet shop boys are a more famous act with more hits. But I thought this topic was personal opinion, and my personal opinion is that I hate the guys voice and thus do not find them enjoyable. Like I'm sure it is for everyone, some acts just don't do anything for me - and pet shop boys are one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 No worries - I wasn't intending to single you out. As an aside, to whoever it was that pointed out that no one calls the Pet Shop Boys PSB , as any Smash Hit readers will know their actual nickname is The Shoppies.
