without any doubt: FREEFALL! the best Raise The Pressure´s song by a mile IMHO. and great to remix too. it has a great chorus, very catchy. i´ll never understand why they even thought of releasing Until The End Of Time instead of it.

Without doubt it would have to be "Idiot Country". The perfect blend of Marr's wah-wah guitar and some electonica, and a Barney rap. A great opener for the album. And its not even a choice on thie list! scandalous!!!

Patience of a Saint, although Gangster would've been a good choice still, as long as it wouldn't get played on a top 40 station. I can't see Twisted Tenderness as a single, since it reminds me too much of a "boyband" song, which, maybe if it were released, might have helped the band sell more singles :shrug:.

Twisted Tenderness is very Westlife and not well sung. Patience of a Saint is bit of a gem of a song. But how on earth can people over look Idiot Country?? Especially when the whole point of Electronic was Smiths & New Order combo. It gets my goat!!

Electronic is just as good as NO or JD if you ask me. All the songs listed above go to prove it. "Dark Angel" or "Twisted Tenderness" would be my pick. I think _Raise the Pressure_ tops anything Barney did with his other bands. I know I'm inviting a lot of scorn here! I found Electronic before NO or JD because I was a huge Pet Shop Boys fan in the 80s and 90s and heard they were on the _Electronic_ album. I moved on to NO a year later and JD two years after that. PSB are still great melody-writers to my ears, but lack that Barney or Ian "Substance".

My vote is for Twisted Tenderness, but in fact it would have been a great NEW ORDER single.. add Hooky's bass on this and you have a monster track... However, Some Distant Memory on Electronic and Freefall on Raise The Pressure get honorable metions..
