Icon12 introspectiveness

I am on such an obsessive PSB phase lately its wild.
listening to frankie knuckles mix of 'i want a dog' right now.
since last fall ive bought the 'further listening' remasters of actually, very, introspect, bilingual.
bought disco 2
bought alternative [so MANY brill b-sides!]
bought an ebay 4 cd compilation - 'flamboyant' 'were the psb' 'jack & jill party' - and 40 more classic rareties.
bought the 'before' 6 mix cd 45.

everybody knows 'west end girls' and maybe 2 or 3 of their 20 other hit singles- but they dont realize that EVERY PSB LP is fantastic in its entirety!

and EVERY B-Side is a must have!!
and theyve worked with the BEST re-mixers/producers in dance.pop:
knuckles- morales- tenaglia- vasquez- moroder- trevor horn- trouser enthusiasts- Expose's producers!! [luis martinez on domino dancing]. - lots more!

that Johnny Marr is all over 3 cds!! ; liza minelli!!; dusty springfield!!

next up: buying further listenings of please, behaviour, & disco I, very relentless and disco III.

then buying Pop Art THREE CDs.
THEN buying Nightlife with the SECOND remix cd!!

imo EVERY psb song & cd is a MUST!!! theres a lot more to life than west end girls!!
next post- fave songs on each CD!!

WE shld do a poll of TEN BEST PSB songs!!!!

You will laugh, my favourite types of music are Jazz, Latin and Classical with SOME old-school RnB. My favourite artists are Michael Jackson, Brahms, Robert Palmer and the buena vista social club.

I LOVE jazz!! latin & bosaa nova too!!
Id like you to educate me to classical!! I like it!!

tons of soul r&b funk & michjael jackson too!!

I believe almost every style of music has something to offer & I will listen to it except Im not so into speedcore death metal & too much gangster hip hop makes me crazy but some of it is great.
everythibng else is good.

btw the pet shop boys have a huge r&b clasical & pop/soul latin influence but you might not know it

Icon5 chris + neil

we should each do our 'psb top 10' and see what tracks we think are their very best.
also did some one do a thread for the smiths/morrissey yet?
what about blur? they dressed really well during parjklife & modern life is rubbish.
and the 'leisure' baggy/manc stuff is hilarious.
also suede always dressed real hot, Im in love with those boys.

They do indeed have alot of inflluences, I'm just not hot on the 'electronic 80's' type sound. But I totally agree that every style of music has something to offer.
