Pet Shop Boys

Formed in the mid-1980s, the British electropop dance duo Pet Shop Boys neatly summed up the age of WALL STREET player Gordon Gecko's greed-is-good dictum and Ronald Reagan's trickle-down economics policy in one of their early singles, "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)." However, unlike most of their companions in the 1980s charts, they proved to have remarkable staying power, scoring hits throughout the decade and well into the '90s, and undertaking intriguing and successful collaborations with iconic pop artists like Dusty Springfield and Liza Minnelli. Their later projects included scoring a West End musical and a 2004 live soundtrack to the classic 1920s Russian film, BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN.
