has to be "different class" no matter how cliche. I think that's one of the better pop records of the past 15 years.

this is hardcore had the most effect on me.

i love sleaze.

different class just barely over his n hers. i will never ever forget the first time i heard different class and how it's influenced me since then. his n hers is also wonderful, but a little less mature than its follow-up. "babies" is probably my favorite song of theirs, though.

I didn't see an option for "all of the above".

well, that's probably because it and freaks sound like an entirely different band.

All four of the last pulp albums are classics.

I went with Hardcore over Different Class, but on a different day i'd probably change my mind.

I saw Pulp opening for Blur when the bands were touring on Parklife and His N' Hers, respectively. Pulp didn't blow me away, although I did think "Do You Remember the First Time?" was pretty fucking great. Then Different Class came out and knocked me on my ass. I was them as headliners on that tour and they DID blow me away. So you figure which one I voted for.

Different Class is probably the best overall album, but a lot of my favourite Pulp moments are on His N Hers

His n Hers is very close, DC a better overall album. Nothing to see here.

Though I haven't actually heard We Love Life.

my favorite pulp moment is still probably mile end, despite being a big fan of their entire post-90 catalog.

DC is one of the better albums of the 90s, while h'n'h, hardcore, and we love life merely contain notable highs. though it's hard to beat the tone of hardcore at times...

KPH

I gotta go with This Is Hardcore.
Different class would be second.

hardcore. without a doubt.

With some minor changes: Pulp did blow me away at the Palace in Hollywood on September 24, 1994. The whole place was buzzing and told my friends that there is no way Blur can top that (saw Blur a few times in the past). Blur came on and blew my mind and was the best of the six or so shows I have seen by them. One of the best double bills I have ever seen.

What a phenomenal band:

1. Different Class
2. We Love Life
3. This Is Hardcore
4. His ‘N’ Hers
5. Separations

I still don’t understand why they broke up after We Love Life, one of the most underrated albums of all time. Maybe it’s because Jarvis Cocker would never be able to top the lyrics of this album.

"My father never told me about the birds & the bees. & I guess I never realised that I would ever meet birds as beautiful as these. I came inside, climbed to your bedroom. I kissed your eyes awake & then I did what I knew was only natural. And then the birds in your garden, they all started singing this song: "Take her now. Don't be scared, it's alright. Oh, come on, touch her inside. It's a crime against nature - she's been waiting all night. Come on, hold her, & kiss her & tell her you care; If you wait 'til tomorrow she'll no longer be there. Come on & give it to her. You know it's now or never." Yeah, the birds in your garden have all started singing this song."

I need to dig out some Pulp. I'm in the mood.
