Pulp showed they were in a Different Class from the rest of the so-called Britpop scene with this career-defining album. Jarvis Cocker's biting lyrics and heartfelt vocals about the social classes and life in general, backed by sweeping soundscapes with catchy choruses. Oasis Vs Blur was already lost to Pulp.

    Best of the three, and "Common People" is one of the best songs of the last fifty years of British music. 🎶
