Right, after 72 polls and a squidillion votes it's come down to this. In one corner the Pet Shop Boys, in the other Pulp.

I would do pictures of them but we all know what they look like.

[Poll #806433]

Please answer both questions!

The guitars aren't actually that prominent in Common People really. It's got one of those great 'the guitars all sound like synths' sound to it.

If anything, All The Things She Said is more of a guitar record. (Yes, I know, no boys, but level of testosterone in Jarvis = minimal).

The most important instrument on Common People is the violin, surely?

It does the fills, but the synths absolutely make it. Like Tom said half-a-dozen years ago, there's so much to be said about the lyrics and Jarvis that people often forget that the whole band plays a blinder.

when you say things like die and kill, and the like. even taken purely rhetorically, it can be disturbing when repeated. and not what i call pop.

But saying things like "die" and "kill" is very pop. At least where I grew up it was.

i judge that...
