I agree, i havn't got Common People in my ipod playlist either. Dishes on the other hand, is a work of greatness!!!!
Ah well, good luck restraining yourself!
Whenever I go to put on This Is Hardcore, though, I just think "No, no, no....Tracks 9 (Seductive Barry) and 12 (The day after the revolution) are just too awful to bear!" And The Trees ruins We Love Life For Me. I'm one of those stupid people that can't put on an album if there's even one duff track on it...
Great thread, I absolutely love Pulp. However, some people seem to lump them in with lots of the also-rans of the era.
Have to say I think "This Is Hardcore" is their masterpiece, the songs are so atmospheric. However saying you prefer "This is Hardcore" to "Different Class" is like saying you prefer chocolate to ice cream IMHO
Fave tracks: Something Changed, Do You Remember The First Time, The Fear, This Is Hardcore, Mis-Shapes, Razzamataz. This could change tomorrow, gonna listen to Pulp on way to work
Hey, hey, people!
I LOVE (big exclamation) Pulp. They were the first band I ever got into B.M. (before Morrissey).
As such, I've made numerous Pulp mix-CDs over the years for in the car and whatnot, and here's a link for one I knocked-up earlier:

11. The Birds In Your Garden

It's a great CD for people who haven't listened to Pulp, or are only just getting into them. There's a mix of singles, album tracks and b-sides. I won't say they're Pulp's BEST tracks, because there really are very, very few bad Pulp tracks (pre-93 anyhow).
I haven't put Common People on, just because I'm bored to death of it. Yeah, it's a great song, but by no means the best Pulp song (I'm sure MANY will disagree).
Anyway, I've yacked on enough...Hope y'all enjoy it, and let me know if you want anymore tracks (I have all the old Pulp stuff from the 80s, too...Some of it is excruciating, but there are some gems amidst the rough, too!)
