About this playlist
You can't talk about '80s music without Pet Shop Boys. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's wistful New Wave hits like "West End Girls" and "It's a Sin" brought sad boys and girls to the dance floor, while innovating with cutting-edge synth melodies and restrained cool. In the decades following their 1981 debut, the UK's most successful pop duo's songs still boast socially penetrating lyrics backed by the catchiest drum machine rhythms, from their Village People cover (and Pride anthem) "Go West" to the acid house bounce of 2016's clubland confessional, "The Pop Kids”.
