https://www.youtube.com/embed/L8ShWSZU2k0?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=WL&start=0 I love the Pet Shop Boys. I also love that they recognize that they are charisma free and they employ dancers/lasers etc to enhance their concerts. Even if you do not like their music can you appreciate their presentation? ---

Great music and visually spectacular. I’d happily watch it from the comfort of my living room sofa. ---

One of the best of the best pop bands. There will always be a place in the world for a great pop song, and that’s pretty much what the Pet Shop Boys have spent nigh on four decades producing. Charisma free? They can have a pass on that. j ---

Really thought their recent albums Electric and Super were fantastic. However they really laid an egg with Hotspot. _Happy People_ and _Dreamland_ are okay but songs like _Monkey Business_ and _Wedding in Berlin_ are embarrassingly lazy and bad. ---

I think I might have used bad words. Their amazing visual arts are because they arent emotive. I love the Pet Shop Boys. I love Kraftwerk but this is really boring.

> [@madsircool](#): > > I think I might have used bad words. Their amazing visual arts are because they arent emotive. I love the Pet Shop Boys… Six of one… …and I was obviously unclear because I was agreeing with you (or at least, that’s what I intended). Yes, they are charisma free, you’re right. But I think we would both agree that, because they are so poptastically great, well, the charisma thing - they can have a pass on that. j ---

I’ve seen Kraftwerk several times, and they’re anything but boring. 3D does help. But both pale compared to the Chemical Brothers.

I was too harsh on Kraftwerk. Great video. 👍
