Erasure or Pet Shop Boys?

Rent is a top song, so I guess I'll go with the PSB I suppose.

Bastards, the lot of em!

Always thought it would be ace if Micheal Bolton replaced Eddie Vedder.

Nothing from State of Love and Trust? Was sure I would get some sort of rise out of him for this..... oh well, so much for my instigating skills

Well even if I fancy a DM from time to time, I cannot stand speak & spell... so logically... And no need of a photo on the finish line. PSB.

Okay, it has to be PSB, even if Erasure has the best Xmas song ever...

Onto the next poll please...

Well I actually own some PSB, so them it is.

Trying to decide between keyboardists Chris Lowe and Vince Clarke is so hard. You make it so hard. Bah, now I've got to go listen to Behaviour.

I like the Pets a bit more than erasure musically, but I like the fun aspect to erasure's shows (less dramatic and more wheee! party!). That said, I haven't bought anything from erasure since Cowboy. I own a lots of PSB because they turned out some classy tracks and then there's the whole of Relentless and Alternative.

Vince has a wife and a kid up in Vermont somewhere, if I recall correct. Can't say the same about Chris (unless that after party was more substance-fuelled than I remember).

Some sort of Tennant/Bell dance off ala the "Sometimes" video would be really funny.

HA! Another evening RUINED by NOOL!

We ALL win £40!

Mwa hwa hwa!

Biggy, you've just been waiting to say that, haven't you.

Fair enough. You all win and I win a drink. All's good.

Really? Have we told Doc Clayhead about this interesting development?

This fella

I want him to broadcast it on YouTube, as well!

:dead: All this scatological humor is putting me off my dinner.

I like 'em both. I knew I'd be in the minority by voting Erasure, but I did it anyway. I'm thinking early Earasure, though, not anything they've done in the last 10 years. Plus, while both have the type of voice that could get on one's nerves after a while, Neil Tenant does do that for me on occasion.

pet shop boys, of course.

always have and always will be.

maybe Vince left Depeche because he was the straight one...?

all Vince's songs sound the same to me, just that the synths change with the trends...

Andy Bell would run amock with Vince far more than Depeche,so doubtful..

Did'nt Vincent wear lipsol on his bumhole at one time?

in an effort keep all the chaps away Thou shalt not covet thy Vince, an whataveyou.

Pet Shop Boys, I guess, just because I've heard more of their songs and most of the mid-lates 80s stuff is pretty ok (haven't heard much of their stuff afterwards though...any good?)

Erasure just seems kind of one-note and disposable...

Either way, neither are my faves at all.

Of course its PSB! There's no comparison.

I want to erase Erasure in history.

Neither. Both have been going for 20 odd years and their best days were at the start. Oh, wait. Why does that sound familiar?

wish they would both fuck off tho the wife likes erasure

Pet Shop Boys - even saw 'em a couple of weeks back in Hammersmith! Their DJ gig with Barney & Hooky was very good, too!

Erasure - erm, only really liked one of their songs "Drama!" - nothing else really...

Erasure, although I love PSB a ton, Erasure wins it for me, but mostly because Cowboy is one of my favorite cd's of all time. Also I find myself listening to them a lot more than PSB.

I'll go run off and hide now

Second that. The Pet Shop Boys for me, there's nothing to compare even.
