Sorry I misunderstood the topic! I think 80s Kinks are very underrated and it would be interesting to know if Pulp were aware of them, there is certainly a resemblance.
Suede were unlikely to imitate Pulp, but... -- Edited by PaulTMA on Sunday 15th of September 2013 01:34:57 PM
I've always thought the ending of Suede's This Time was very Pulpy. Fine song!
(EVERY single time I've made a musical comparison to anyone, they've looked at me like I was some kind of deviant. So I'm well aware I'm in the minority here.)

Also i'm not sure that Pulp ever listen to Soviet music and it's also only 2 notes, but i hear similarities of Russel's guitar intro in Monday Morning and this one
Someone on the superdeluxeedition site claimed that Pink Glove was a rip-off of The Boomtown Rats. Not sure if they meant a specific song or the general sound/Sir Bob's delivery. I think ArrGee is a big fan of theirs and probably the only one old enough on here to comment with confidence ;)

Ha ha! Well there are a fair few songs that could cross between the two of them. A Tonic for The Troops and His n Hers arent so different in their overall feel, both are very good pop/rock LPs. I can imagine Geldof & Jarvis interchanging the lead vocals on a few of the tracks. Cant think of any particular song that is akin to Pink Glove, but Me & Howard Hughes and (I never loved) Eva Braun are maybe the sort of songs that the commentator was thinking of. (BTW It wasnt me).
PS I am younger than Jarvis!
PPS I found the superdeluxeedition comment, I remember seeing Menswe@r support Pulp at Theatre Royal Drury Lane...
