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.

Re: My Four, and why

Incidentally, my fifth song from the above list would have been 'Babies' which is a better version of 'Do You Remember The First Time' IMHO, but if we're not restricted to the chart-eligible singles, 'F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E.' off of 'Different Class' is a quality tune.

It's odd, I've never thought of myself as a massive Pulp fan, and yet I can reel off pretty much four albums' worth of material, and there's very little there that I dislike. There's plenty I'm indifferent to though, perhaps that's why I never figured myself to be a big Pulp fan!
