The Friday Canon: PULP

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

No, I can't believe we haven't done them yet either. With just 12 UK Top 40 hits, you get FOUR ticks below. However because I'm feeling generous, for one! canon! only! you are allowed an EXTRA text-box vote for a song that's missing - if a song gets enough votes it will be included in the canon proper.

I only know 6 Pulp songs, which are the 4 I ticked above ("Common People", "Disco 2000", "This is Hardcore", "Babies") plus "Do You Remember the First Time" plus "Styloroc (Nights of Suburbia)". Is there any particular reason I should bother to check out one of their albums?

I reckon it's probably worth listening to 'Different Class' at some stage. After all, it'll probably be remembered in 20 years time as being one of the more defining albums of the 90s, the rise of Blair etc.

I prefer 'This Is Hardcore'. But that's because of the album's title track, which clearly you already know to be genius!
