"Do you remember the first time"

Mark G... what was your first time like? Please do go on.

Blue Girls?

It's somewhere on TMI, back when you could post unregistered (he lied)

No idea

Ooohh Alicia must have it!

"Blue Girls" by Pulp.

(One google later)

Sorry, I got excited because I like that image - details of #34 - BLUE GIRLS - 4 votes, 116 points

Jez, this low? 't Is my number #02!

Previous one should be Sorted for E Numbers and Fizz.

LBI: Too bad eh? All four people who voted had it in their top 10.

Yeah it's a shame! I'll take it on the chin though ;-) Such mesmerising heavenly song

As I post each song, snippets get stuck in my head and the operatic chorus of Blue Girls is so lovely.. will have to put the proper song on.

in case there is any confusion, still looking for #35:

I love these picture clues. I feel like I'm exercising my brain. Disney Time for #35? (A very Halloween-appropriate picture.)

Minnie Timperley.

vg+

Alicia - no, I'm sorry :( Not a single vote for Disney Time..

Mark G's got it. :D

I knew that one!

I'm amazing myself here.

Underrated song imo. Well, I guess any good song on We Love Life feels underrated to me.

#35 - THE NIGHT THAT MINNIE TEMPERLEY DIED - 6 votes, 124 points

TIED WITH

#34

As I say, I thought the whole of "We love life" is 1) Underrated 2) possibly the one album I played the most.

COUNTDOWN!

Oh, I completely forgot about Minnie Timperley! I can't remember if I voted for it, but I'm glad it made it. One of my favorite tracks from that album.

#34 - COUNTDOWN - 6 votes, 124 points (exact tie with Minnie Temperley!)

#33 will be up for a while as Lex goes to get some lunch

Joyriders.

Love both of 'em!

This Lex/FFM thing is confusing me.. :-)

alright, since I didn't actually make it for lunch yet -

Ha! Had no idea :-)

I was going to guess "death goes to the disco" but there's no disco.

I'm cool with being called FFM, I just think of myself as Lex! :)

Ha, this one has to be Death II. My #1!

Everyone YouTube that whilst I get some lunch. You need to hear it!!

For convenience :)

"Separations" is my least favourite Pulp album. "Love Is Blind" sounds inspired, the rest of side one is for the most part brutal. Side two is OK if you crave the novelty factor of hearing Pulp doing dance music.

sorry for lol hueg

Lex would it be possible for you to post the results in bold, as I‘m checking them on my phone and it would be easier.

no problem!

Thanking you!

A lot of Pulp songs seem pretty dance-y to me, so I guess it's hard for me to think of side two of Separations as a novelty. I've always thought of Death II as the older brother to Death Goes to the Disco and She's A Lady.

I think Separations was the next one I was able to pick up after Different Class, so it also feels pretty "normal" to me. It's actually my favourite! I think I like it because it wasn't as polished..

Yeah, I like that too. It's a little dirtier and darker. I actually didn't hear it until ten years after it came out! I realized what I'd been missing right away.

yeah! I never did unpack my CDs to burn that one, I'm missing out (thank God for Youtube!). Too cheap to buy it again on iTunes, heh..

is everyone gone for lunch or is this image too horrifying to consider?

I think I like it because it wasn't as polished..

When I'm in the mood for "unpolished" Pulp, I listen to "Freaks".

"Separations" was their "return" album after being on hiatus for a few years, so you'd think it'd be a perfect chance to revamp their style and do something new ... which turned out to be a side-length flirtation with post-acid house dance music (a couple of years after that would have been an interesting or daring move for an indie band to make) and a side of stuff that sounded virtually the same as what they'd been doing in the mid-80's. I don't know, I've never "gotten" "Separations".

hmmm, I should tally up how many votes ended up going to each album - quick glance doesn't show a lot of Freaks, though I voted for at least one track.. as did a few others. Freaks is for when I feel sketchy.. Separations for when I feel frisky.

I'd bet on "Freaks" finishing last!

I'm guessing DC > Hardcore > HnH > WLL > Separations > It > Freaks

(discounting compilations like "Intro")

Oh the 80s!

I have decided: I have a new favorite Pulp albm.

I agree!

Yep: always thought so.
