'Stranger in Moscow', why I think PSB should work on it. Pay attention to the lyrics.

As I said I remember Neil saying he liked 'Stranger in Moscow' by Michael Jackson and I think this is the best song to make a cover version nowadays talking about PSB and I'm going to tell you why.

The song talks about a feeling of pain inside a man who feels like 'Stranger in Moscow' but the song ...

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen

"Go West" should be included in a PSB concert, specially when you talk about a Greatest Hits Tour. We know is not Neil's favourite song and it was an idea from Chris to make a cover version. I think "Go West" deserve a better version to be played live. The last live versions of the songs are weaker ...

Re: West End Girls is the only song by PSB frustration

I think there is a full version of West End Girls has never been listened to us the fans (the snipet of the song from "Smash" - Blue Ray game that feeling). Anyway and talking about the lyrics, you can really appreciate these things:

- Single/album version: it talks about what happens outside "the ...

Re: New PSB remix of Tina Turner

The remix doesn't go anywhere, I don't think PSB have put a lot of effort on it. The original version is much better.

Re: Which SMASH single was the most "forgettable"?



And Winner is memorable for them trying to revive their Top 40 days with a ham-fisted attempt to jump on the Olympics bandwagon.


They were really succesful on that object, so the plan worked outside the charts. :mrgreen:

Re: 80's UK Chart Sales and Info

PSB have 6 songs (I suppose Go West did that too) with more than 200.000, only really big one artists could do it better.

Re: 80's UK Chart Sales and Info



I think the data of Spotify is more accurate to know the popularity of the songs all around the world and not only in UK.

With the exception of Depeche Mode, PSB have better numbers than New Order (with the exception of Blue Monday), Erasure, Frankie goes to Hollywood (with the exception of ...

They know:

1) They have gained quite a big exposure the last year and they want to earn more money with the tour.
2) They couldn't show on tour the last few singles like ANLB or ATYD on tour. I can't remember if they played "Feel".
3) This is a Greatest Hits Tour, it explains the long running ...

Re: Top 10 of most succesful PSB songs (Spotify, Youtube, charts)






I'm sort of with you on this "extension" of the Imperial Phase. Introspective remains one of their highest selling albums, so to chop that phase off at the release of Domino dancing makes no sense.


His reaction was based on chart results of Domino Dancing in UK. Latin countries love it ...

Re: Top 10 of most succesful PSB songs (Spotify, Youtube, charts)






For Neil, Domino Dancing wasn't part of Imperial Phase.




Well Domino dancing was part of the Imperial Phase... until Neil realised it didn't chart high enough for him. So it's Schrödinger's 7''... both part of and not part of the Imperial Phase... you don't know until you measure it ...
