Right, after 72 polls and a squidillion votes it's come down to this. In one corner the Pet Shop Boys, in the other Pulp.

I would do pictures of them but we all know what they look like.

[Poll #806433]

Please answer both questions!

AOMM may well have the best synth riff of the 80s.

The moment it comes in on the 'In My House' version is just..... :-0

I've said it before but my favourite thing on AOMM remains that bit immediately after the second "you are always on my mind" where two two-note string sounds move the whole thing upwards (virtually at least).

I have yet to hear ... In My House. THIS IS A BIG HINT PEOPLE WITH IT ON THEIR HARD DRIVES.

I concur.

can't remember but does 'In My House' extend the opening 2 bar 'intro'? i'd love an epic version that just looped that for like 1x minutes!
