Eammon, that's a great list, love that you have There Was in there.

I can't beat that, so will instead do a list of 10 songs which would least well sum up the band:

Turkey Mambo Momma
Love Love
Repressive Forkout
Tunnel
Didn't Feel A Thing
Is This House?
The Boss
Can I Have My Balls Back Please?
That Boy's Evil
Peter Gunn Theme

Eamonn cracking list!

weej - I really like their version of Peter Gunn, even though it's a bit of a far cry from normal Pulp!

Had a go:
My Legendary Girlfriend
Wishful Thinking
I Want You
Rattlesnake
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E
Razzmatazz
Common People
This Is Hardcore
Babies
Grandfather's Nursery (I think about this song all the time - not often you catch yourself singing along to a song that has barely been released)


Honourable mention for Duck Diving

Eamonn's list is pretty excellent innit? Hard to beat that.

Here's why I chose mine:

My Lighthouse - really such a hallmark of Jarvis's early romantic innocence and partnered with Simon Hinkler's musical nous, really an important collaboration

They Suffocate At Night - very emblematic of the absolute depressive drudge of Pulp's 80s Sheffield era, a time the band spent in some part in suffocation struggling to germinate. Some good ideas buried under it all though

Separations - a step forward musically and partnered with the genius madness of Russell Senior

Sheffield: Sex City - their ode to their city - and this is one of their finest moments as an ensemble. Also one of the strongest examples of Jarvis's new lyrical bent

Lipgloss - these themes, but now with professional sheen, snappiness, sleekness. A Pulp pop moment

Mis-Shapes - "we're making a move we're making it now" - you can't say they didn't. Flag-waving for the outsiders, the freaks, the mis-shapes

I Spy - really the culmination of Jarvis's lyrical journey and shows the sheer *danger* the band could emulate musically

This Is Hardcore - a musical statement that casts its shadow over the entire second half of Pulp's era on Island

Dishes - signifies the gentle balladry, the quiet resignation to the death of Jarvis's youthful pop dream, and reprioritisation of his goals as he got older, that itself defines We Love Life. Also, the band's versatility

Wickerman - the track I'd go for if I had to pick just one

 Me too! Actually love about half of those tracks, all not very representative though (and would not work as a playlist)

Yeah i always thought this one was the song that summed perfectly the transition between "old" pulp and "new" pulp. It's a pivotal song.

I've been thinking about this. If the target audience is someone who has never heard of Pulp before and the aim is to encompass all their phases/eras, I'd go for the following:

Please Don't Worry
My Lighthouse
They Suffocate at Night
My Legendary Girlfriend
Sheffield: Sex City
Lipgloss
Common People
Disco 2000
This is Hardcore
Sunrise

For someone who is vaguely familiar with some of their material and wants to dig a bit deeper:

Please Don't Worry
My Lighthouse
They Suffocate at Night
My Legendary Girlfriend
Deep Fried in Kelvin
Acrylic Afternoons
I Spy
The Fear
Weeds
Wickerman

This was harder than I thought it was going to be- I wanted to include Razzmatazz, I Spy and Sunrise..

1. Blue Girls
2. Pink Glove
3. Death 2
4. Happy Endings
5. Seconds
6. Underwear
7. OU
8. Feeling Called Love
9. Cuckoo
10.Bar Italia

A top 20 best Pulp songs would make an interesting list- cant remember if weve done that before or not :/
