Fundamental or Yes

So playing Yes (new Pet Shop Boys CD) to Grace in the car on the way to our piano lessons.
Me -'Great isn't it?'
Grace -'Yeah'
'You don't sound that enthusiastic'
'Well I prefer Fundamental'
'Oh...Suppose you gave Fundamental 10 points what would you give Yes?'
'8'
'Why?'
'Better songs like Sodom and Gomorrah, I'm with stupid, Minimal, Indefinite leave to remain, Made my excuses and left, though Lunar park is a bit weird...'

Grace is clearly a real Pethead in her own right and these songs she selects are ace. My jury is still out on whether Yes is the best ever Pet CD or not but I am gripped by All around the world, Yes, Did you see me coming, Vulnerable (that one especially is staggering) and of course Pandemonium. I have a soft spot for their album Nightlife but actually their best ever might well be Battleship Potemkin which isn't really a Pet album but it is by Neil and Chris.

This one is clearly going to run and run and if any of you out there wont to pass comments on the best ever Pet song or album drop us an email...

Bill-on-bike and no longer wet!
