Not just for 80's nostalgists!
This leaves all other "greatest hits" collections in the dust. Taken individually, the songs are impressive. As a collection, their brilliance is dazzling, almost blindingly so. Where to start? The sound-effects laden "Suburbia." The dramatic "It's a Sin." "Rent" and "Being Boring" are gorgeous. "Left to My Own Devices" is symphonic disco perfected. Finally, the obligatory bonus track "Was it Worth It?" is a joyous close to the proceedings. The only less than brilliant numbers are "Love Comes Quickly" and "It's Alright." Otherwise, this group of lovingly crafted melodies and smart, witty lyrics is indispensable.

PSB - Reflective, yet ahead of, their time(s)
PSB has been a favourite since "West End Girls" came out in '85 for their grasp both of imaging and sonic production. There's also a good measure of social comment in their works - when I moved to London a few years ago, I then understood "West End" brilliantly for its accurate portrayal of class divisions and the chasm between them.

Underated Group
This is a great compilation of a very underated group 80's group (at least here in the US). My two faves are West End Girls and Left to My Own Devices. A must have for 80's freaks and 30-somethings out there.

This band ROCKS
I just heard about them only a few days ago. They are the best! I love this cd, i find only one problem. They don't have the song Go West on it. That song is also a great song. I advise not liking, loving this band
