The Beginner's Guide To Pulp

Pulp were one of the most popular, and best, British groups of the 1990's, with the albums His'N'Hers and Different Class establishing their leader Jarvis ****er as a songwriter who could articulate adolescence, sex and the problems it brought, and social division brilliantly and making him an unlikely icon. However, Pulp had been struggling in obscurity for a decade beforehand, with a constantly changing lineup and sound, which evolved from the folkish pop of their It debut, to the synthpop which they would make their name with. Whilst their post-Different Class work may have failed to scale the same commercial heights, there was no drop in quality with This Is Hardcore being possibly their best album. I hope this primer gives you some idea as to the range and quality of Jarvis' songwriting, in order to appreciate there being more to Pulp than Disco 2000 and Common People.Neither of which I've included.

Good selection there although you have missed off bar italia which is my faevourite pulp track.
I cant believe you dont have mishapes or underwear on there either, both essential.

Anyway all this goes to show is that pulp rock. They really need to sort out some sort of reunion I saw them Live at Leeds fest in 2002 underneath the strokes. Needless to say they complete blew them out of the water.

Cheers for whoever it was who posted King Crimson, cant believe ive never checked this band out before.

Anyway im currently working on a best of hip hop selection for number nine dream, if anyones interested ill get post it here when its done. Although im snowed under at work so im not sure when ill actually finish it.

Enjoy, and I would not be surpirised at all if the last two tracks reduce you to tears. One of the most powerful bands I've ever listened to, and those tracks are great examples of that.
