no matter how much people critisize placebo they will always have their unique sound and songwriting... and the albums placebo and without you i'm nothing are amazing... and all you that play it hard ask david bowie who made a douet with them from the second album...
amazing live as well!

Good song, though I imagine several of the negative reviews would disappear if Bill could mix "Protect Me From What I Want" into a cleverly-themed playlist.

bought "Without you..." on the strength of the opener, Pure Morning, alone. I later realized that it was the only good song on the disk, teaching a valuable lesson about making sure to listen critically through whole albums before buying.

{#Lol} - BTW, cover sorta looks like Ghost in reverse, yes? Where Demi dies (hmm, ponder this) and Swayze lives?

The first song I have heard on RP to date that has made me remove my headphones.

Is this a great song or does it just seem that way because I expected it to?

If William Shatner remade this song, I think I would enjoy it more.

Kind of strange listening to a song that sounds like a bad Suburbs song coming after a song called the Suburbs.

Best band in the world!
Been following them for over 10 years now, and they only keep getting better.
Thanks Bill, and would LOVE to hear more from them.

I'm sure they did, and it could be interpreted as a clever commentary on the state and role of music - something with no efficacy which yet affects its users because they expect it to be efficacious. (As it happens, there's considerable empirical evidence that placebos work in themselves, even when users know they're taking placebos - weird, or what? As they say in Yorkshire, there's nowt as queer as folk. )

If you have the chance to see them live: try it! Great rock-music, great live-act!

Bill: Somehow, I've never heard this before. Thank you - and thanks for this whole evening (to you and whoever helps with programming - I don't think I've ever enjoyed RP as much as I am tonight - and that's saying something, believe me.

I don't hear that; I don't remember The Pet Shop Boys having much guitar sound, especially of the distorted variety.

Funny I saw them at Festival Nyon in Switzerland many years ago and I had never heard of them!  

BLOWN AWAY!

Then came Ben Harper for 3 hours "OMG - I can't believe he's blowing away the band I was just blown away by!"
Life was beautiful that night.
