"Disco 2000"? Agreed, but "Common People" is incredible too.

That whole album is amazing. "Underwear" is another fave.

Just put on "Disco 2000" and I forgot how sad this song makes me.

"Let's all meet up in the year 2000, won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?" :(

Hands down my favorite "Britpop" band.

Great band, I finally got to see them live last year. His And Hers is my favourite record from them. Jarvis is one of the best lyricists in rock.

Pulp's new record More is out now. It's pretty good, but takes listenings. It's not as immediate as Different Class, a little more like the two latest records.
