Great thread. Dude, are you half Iranian half Irish or wha btw?!

My favrotie song of course is "It's A Sin". I always thought the lyrics were great in my younger days and still think it would be a sin not to think so! ;) It's the story of my life, I tell you...

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

Second favorite would be "Left To My Own Devices". I thought it had a phenomenal electronic beat back in the days and still after having listened to the best electronic music the world has ever produced, I will not change my vote!

For third place, I'd have to go for "Always On My Mind". Great song and also my favorite video from them:

For fourth place, I'd have to say it's a tie between "Domino Dancing" and "Opportunities" (whhich both hit the right chords with me for some reason ;)) and "So Hard" (simply for its amazing video)

Having said that, I think their combo remake of U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name" and Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" was superb, but still a remake. "Jelousy" is also a nice little song with a great video.

I'm gonna have to think about their ultimate best song in my opinion but many of the ones you mentioned come to mind. I don't think there is a song they have don't that I don't know yet. Right now I'm trying to learn all the songs from their new album (yes) and my favorite song off of that album is Love etc.

One of my favorites, and a song that I seriously considered playing for our wedding song (but ultimately rejected due to it not being in farsi but every time I play it now my wife knows I'm thinking of her) is Miracles.

Like I said I don't think I'll be able to post a favorite but rather favorites. I'll do that perhaps tomorrow. Left to my own devices, Domino Dancing and You are always on my mind are very memorable to me as they were my introduction to PSB in Iran.

P.S. I'm 100% Iranian.

Wow, that Love Etc. is a pretty funly song. I'm not really familiar with their new stuff, so thatnks for the update bro :)

Miracle would have definitely been hard to dance to. What did you guys end up going with?

It started out ok for a slow dance but then it picks up pace, although if we wanted the DJ could have kept the pace slow for the whole song.
We went with "peyvand".
