Pulp IS a fantastic band

I mean. I doubt anybody can post 10 bands better than Pulp.
I encourage people to embarass themselves by trying though.

When I was in high-school, back in the 90s when Pop was British, there was a small spider that lived in my locker. I named it Jarvis in honour of Jarvis Cocker, who was my hero back then after his shenanigans interrupting a pompous Michael Jackson performance.

Oh look, there he goes (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=upbbz_Eyq4Q) again!

Pulp is pretty cool. I can't say that I am all that familiar with them, though. Actually, my tase in music is curiously devoid of bands from UK that were at the height of their popularity/creativity or formed after the 80s. I can only think of like 8 bands.

Oh also, when I was a little kid I used to get Pulp and the Fall mixed up all the time.

It has been a while since I was reminded that concerts that huge exist.

...Yeah, Pulp is pretty decent.

To wank in your Cheerios.

You misunderstand. My point is that every time someone says they dislike something, you always like it. Almost without exception. I like britpop too!

Edit: suggestion. New word: Eclectdick. A measure of how much different music you listen to.

I think I might be coming off a lot more dickish than intended with this. Sorry.

It is perhaps because I am starting to realise this forum is more stereotypically indie than I first suggested. If we go a month without a single mention of Neutral Milk Hotel than I will donate a kidney.

And it's impossible to be mad at you when you come up with so awesome a new word.

Seriously this is the best band.

Welcome to the 90s!  Enjoy your visit.

But, sure, Pulp were a great band.  Certainly better than fucking Blur.

Oh, speaking of twats, I saw the new Oasis video last night.  It sounded like Coldplay.  wtf mang.

More hardcore than Husker Dü fucking pornstars. On camera. While snorting line after line of coke.
No wait, that last part is actually about Pulp.

You should just accept that there are lots of reasons why god damnit Pulp is the best damn band dammit.

True. The Complete and Utter Breakdown version of The Fear, Duck Diving and F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E. to give three more.

The best damn Pulp song is Disco 2000 people, get it right.

Cocker needs to try and deck Michael Jackson again.

No, the best Pulp song is "Lipgloss" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc7E4bsgGYk).  Have you people ever listened to anything before Different Class?  GOD.

a fair number of pre-Different Class songs are really good (see also: Babies), but their best songs were mostly on This Is Hardcore. "Sylvia", "The Fear", "This Is Hardcore" and the best description of post-breakup desperation that is "TV Movie".

Post by: Professor Snuggles on 04 Feb 2009, 08:23
The point isn't that common people is the best song (it isn't, but it's close), but rather that that video is fucking awesome.

Why? Are you racist against: white people, British people, singers, lyricists, intelligent people, Europeans, awesome people, all of the above?

I only read the first post, and it is indeed correct.

The Pulp Peel Sessions, so so good.
