This Is Hardcore for the stately bleakness.
The Fear for being the most unsettling song ever.
Lipgloss just for being the best version of that era when they were just pissing stylophone gold.
My Legendary Girlfriend for getting me to sit up and take notice in the first place (thanks due to Gary 'The Crow' Crowley, here)
Disco 2000 just because.
OPO can fuck off on the acrohorse it rode in on.

"this is hardcore" is just so *sui generis*, i can't imagine anyone else pulling anything like that off at all. the lp is kind of spotty though.

oh go on then.
"styloroc - nites of suburbia"
After many weeks in the wilderness we came upon a strange, exotic landA land of happy hourswhere the sky is always grey and the food exceptionally greasyWe drank strange brown liquidsand our stomachs swelled up like balloonsA thousand fake orgasms every nightbehind thick dralon curtains
They go on and on and on and on
We sank back into mauve PVC sofasOutside dogs roamed the streetsand the rooftops glistened in the rainbut now we've grown so fat we can no longer pass through the doorSo stay we must,sprouting black hair beneath bri-nylon underwear
Yes, here we will staythese nights of suburbia go on and on and on and on and on

On the other hand, "Something Changed" never fails to make me cry and I think it's one of the most perfect songs ever written.

Mile End is fantastic, as is Ansaphone- Pulp had great b-sides, which is often the sign of a good band.

I keep saying this, but put every post-Separations Pulp song of over 5:30 in length on one CD and you've got a fucking incredible CD
― acoleuthic, Tuesday, 9 November 2010 03:50 (thirteen years ago) link
(um, except Sylvia which is rubbish)
it's just occurred to me that The Day After The Revolution probably deserves to be mentioned alongside the Great Trio - it keeps growing on me, and for the purposes of my mix CD we can cut off the final drone at 5:45 or so?
― acoleuthic, Tuesday, 9 November 2010 03:52 (thirteen years ago) link
but christ His'N'Hers is such an album. SUCH an album. it's the only one whose shorter songs would be worthy (IMO) of the aforementioned monsters. I mean shit the opening two tracks and fucking Pink Glove are perfect and the rest is pretty much up there as well
no no no no freaking idea how DC came to be regarded as anything other than its distant inferior
