As promised on another thread: give me your top 12 Pulp related albums out of this list:

It

Freaks

Masters Of The Universe

Separations

Intro

His N Hers

Different Class

This Is Hardcore

We Love Life

A Heavy Nite With Relaxed Muscle

The Jarvis Cocker Record

"Further Complications"

- that's all the main studio albums and non-album singles compilations. There's 12 of them. You put them in order 1-12 with 1 your favourite and 12 your least favourite. I'll then (beacuse I'm wonderful and generous with my time - and a bit sad) do the maths assigning 12 points to number 1 rating, 11 to number 2 (you get the idea - bit like eurovision) and announce the official ranking amongst decerning Pulp fans.

I know you won't be but try not to be swayed by anyone elses list.

you have until 11/11/11 - that's a Friday. That's a nice easy date for everyone to remember because it's Chanelle from Big Brother's birthday... oh, and all the ones!

I'm not sure I follow... you've got until 11/11/11 to vote. Every album must placed. It doesn't seem right if I'm first to put my list up though...

plus I'm still deciding!

 Oh, good addition ArrGee! I'm going to add scores to my list I've been compiling in Word and copy it across.

And thanks for being the first voter.

Hmmm... rankings and scores opens the door to double bar charts, scattergraphs, means modes and medians...

 What have I done? smile

BTW I haven't  rated Freaks 1/10, as it has its moments. I was just spreading the marks around a bit.

 mmm, what I mean is I spread the 1-12 marks around as I didn't think Intro should get much less than His n Hers and should get far more than Freaks. More a relative ranking.

I think you should give each album the score you think it deserves or give no score at all.

You've still got plenty of time. But I don't want the thread to disappear onto page two! I like to think you've all been arranging and rearranging lists because it's a great responsibility to get it right. 11/11/11

I wish the poll was limited to Pulp albums only...it's hard enough to rank just the Pulp albums, I find myself unable to consider the solo/side project albums on the same scale...

They're all part of the same Jarviverse.

Rank them on lyrical quality if that's easier.

Interestingly, if we were going by the ''deluxe versions'' I think I'd have TIH as first and perhaps HnH second...WLL could even fare the best if we ever get to hear the many lost songs from that era. DC would be lower on a lot of lists I reckon due to the relative lack of extras in terms of b-sides and demos from that era because of its shorter period of creation than the others. It can't be a coincidence that the one album that Pulp got spot-on tracklist wise was the one which had the least amount of time to fret over production and quality of songs.
