"Love Comes Quickly is our favourite record ever, and it did really badly"

This quote by Chris Lowe of the English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys reviews the band's single "Love Comes Quickly" from their 1986 album Please. In spite of being the band's preferred record, it did not perform well commercially. This could be credited to the fact that the tune was released during a time when synthpop was not as popular as it had actually remained in the early 1980s. The song was likewise not as radio-friendly as some of the band's other songs, such as "West End Girls" and "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)". In spite of its commercial failure, the tune stays a fan favorite and is frequently pointed out as one of the band's best works. The quote speaks to the band's dedication to their craft and their determination to take dangers, even if it implies that their work may not be as effective as they had hoped.
