CHALLENGE: Assemble your Pulp compilation...

...numerically.

OK, let me expand a little. This is a very silly little exercise.

I'm going to give you the track listings of all the albums (plus Masters of the Universe and Intro). So here's a heap of LPs.

OK, so, the idea is that you assemble a compilation of Pulp songs from the above... BUT: they have to appear in the same place that they did on the album. You don't get to pick your pure favourite compilation - you have to have them in the set order.

Now, obviously the results aren't going to be nearly as good as an actual album - of course not! There's no semblance of cohesive, underlying theme, or of song sequencing. So put any notions of quality to one side.

Your challenge is to pick your favourite first track on a Pulp album, your favourite second track on a Pulp album, and so on, and so forth. So Mis-Shapes, Joyriders and The Fear, for example, are all vying against each other - you can only pick one. And same for Babies, Disco 2000 and This Is Hardcore... wait, you can pick the Babies from Intro, ha ha! Except on Intro it's 3 tracks in and is now up against Common People...

Best of luck!

OK, this is pretty fiendish. But here's my tracklisting.

1. Mis-Shapes
2. Lipgloss
3. Common People
4. I Spy
5. This Is Hardcore
6. Sheffield: Sex City
7. Something Changed
8. Do You Remember the First Time?
9. Pink Glove
10. Underwear
11. David's Last Summer
12. Bar Italia

Still not 100% on that.

Also, hmm... is the best song on a Pulp record generally the 5th track? Razzmatazz/Babies/Disco/Hardcore/Wickerman... damn.

I'd enjoy that compilation you've put together, lipglossd, but I didn't have as much trouble with number 5, the challenges for me come more around track 9 because I love Goodnight/Pink Glove/Feeling/BCV. I know Goodnight might be an odd one but I finally got my hands on that on a compilation back in 2001 not long before WLL came out and it just evokes memories of that summer of 2001 for me so I'm emotionally drawn to that one but melody wise I'd have to go with PG or Feeling. BCV I am drawn to because the lyrics are great and it sounds like Christmas. Can't make up my mind... and I'm off to have me tea so.

Otherwise I'd say:
1. Mis-Shapes
2. Lipgloss
3. Common People (though I absolutely love She's Dead and the guitar in the chorus)
4. Help the Aged
5. Disco 2000
6. Countdown
7. The Birds in Your Garden
8. Do You Remember the First Time?
9. Pink Glove (right this second I'm going to go with that because I probably overplayed Feeling when I only had one Pulp album back in the day)
10. Underwear
11. Glory Days
12. Bar Italia

(and I'd like to make that the 7inch mix of Disco 2000 because of all of the little added elements and the spoken word part. In an ideal world I'd also make that the extended version of Countdown though I do like the one on Separations. It's slower though)

I'm going to cheat and just make a 9-track album out of track 5.

3. Acrylic afternoons
4. Have you seen her lately
5. Razzmatazz
6. Shes a lady
7. Happy endings
8. Death 2
9. Pink glove
10. Underwear
11. Davids last summer

I note so far I am the only one to use track 13 - there is only one to choose. Fits with my choices anyway!
