I'm taking this very seriously - no crafty picking of your favourite album. If your favourite album is deemed the third best album by the vote you have failed in your ruse.
That's easy; Lets Ride Megamix, but I suppose that goes for most people (if side projects aren't allowed then The Loss Adjuster "damn those yokels, damn those yokels")
After This Hardcore and A Heavy Night With..., I voted for Further Complications.
You like the heavy stuff then? I wouldn't put relaxed muscle in my top 5 but I think Mary is one of his greatest songs.
I do like the heavier stuff indeed, better than the glam-pop of HnH and DC (not that those albums are bad). I really love the Relaxed Muscle project, because it is full with irony, sarcasm and it is a total break with Pulp. Next to that I like the dark sound of the songs, filled with all these stupid and probably cheap keyboards and samplers. Wonderful. And I love Mary as well, but it doesn't really fit that well on the album does it?

None of the albums which have been released. It would fit on a more mellower Relaxed Muscle record, but I doubt that one will ever see the day of light. I even wonder if Jarvis will ever consider to make more music under the name 'Relaxed Muscle'.
On a sidenote, I remember this conversation during the Paradiso Amsterdam gig in 2006. Jarvis: 'When was the last time I've been here?' Fan: 'Relaxed Muscle!' Jarvis: 'So you were the one who bought the album?'

Too hard! I'm not even sure of my first favourite, let alone my third. This is annoying, because unless I cast a vote, it looks like I don't get to see the results.
aah crap - fredthe3rd you are truly evil : just when, at one o'clock in the morning, I think I've come up with an answer, I reread the question and realise I haven't included solo stuff!
not really sure if it proves anything because without a poll asking the order of favorites (which I for one definetly don't have) where there would be far too many possibilities it's hard to know if people haven't chosen an album because its 1 & 2 or worse than their 3rd favorite
Well it was never really meant to prove anything... But now I'm curious.
I might set up a thread over the weekend where everyone has a month or so to give their top 10 albums then I'll happily tot up the scores where a number one vote scores 10 points second place bot scores 9 etc.
I might even turn it into a graph. I'm such a geek.
