Top 5?
Permalink  
 

My son is always asking me what my favourite Pulp song is. Generally, I think it's a distraction technique for when he's done something naughty, cos I think for about ten minutes and then say I can't decide. By which point he's probably pissed his sister off somehow.

Anyway, I was wondering if you have 1 fave, or if not maybe a top 5?

 

I'll attempt a top 5 when I come back from the school run. (Yeah I know, I'm a proper grown up. It's rubbish.)

Right, I think I've got my top 5 (I feel like a right traitor). In reality I've got a list of 10 I think but anyway, in no particular order, here goes...

Underwear

Babies

This Is Hardcore

The Fear

I Spy

the other 5 could easily be my favourite five as well! So I'm putting them up, if you want to change it to top ten that's ok with me!

Razzmatazz

Im A Man

My Legendary Girlfriend

Love Is Blind

Pink Glove

It's strange because I've got the bootleg on my Pulp playlist but I rarely listen to it, for the same reason. Probably Common People and Bar Italia because you can really hear us all, so much that the first time I listened to Bar Italia it made me cry!

 SSC that night still makes me teehee, because Jarvis sang some of it with my hand on his arse.

Right. This isn't set in stone but here's my current top 5.

1. Pink Glove
2. Disco 2000 (I realise that this may not be the most 'radical' track from Pulp's oeuvre, but I've always considered it as a great example of a perfect pop song.)
3. This is Hardcore
4. I Love Life (Holds great sentimental value as I discovered it whilst going through a period of frequent panic attacks. The track has always came across to me as a positive version of an anxiety attack.)
5. Do You Remember the First Time.

Honourable Mentions:
6. Razzmatazz
7. Like A Friend
8. His N Hers
9. Dishes
10. Underwear

I had to knock out Being Followed Home and Wishful Thinking out, it made me sad. I was also very tempted to stick Tunnel in.

For me the early stuff has aged better. Maybe I listened to Different Class and His n Hers too much.

I was really surprised to find myself only putting 1 HnH track in my actual top five I have to say.

Ok here we go:

1. O.U.
2. O.U.
3. O.U.
4. O.U.
5. O.U.

Yeah, you read that right! But seriously, if I could only listen to just one song for the rest of my life it would be O.U.

Here's a more sensible list:
1. O.U.
2. Separations
3. Countdown
4. Street Lites (why was the title changed to 'Lights' on the HnH's deluxe edition does anyone know?)
5. Sheffield: Sex City

 Ooh that's a good list. I've got a very particular soft spot for SSC at Sheffield arena (teehee).

The thing is I've not actually listened to a bootleg of the concert since it happened. But the performance of S:SC that night was just phenomenal and until it appears on a professional recording I'm happy with the memories I have of it in my head.

I sometimes think not thinking too hard gets the most accurate results so, off the top of my head:

Street Lites
O.U.
Countdown
Sunrise
Death II

I think you're right, I probably massively over thought mine, but still managed to end up with ten, and missed out excellent songs.

Nice to see a few people choose Street Lites, it would definitely make my top 5 on another day.

Inside susan
