On 1995's Different Class, Pulp and Jarvis Cocker were arty outsiders worming their way into the lives of ordinary folk, and they became pop in its most democratically widespread sense.
If an album can reach this magnitude of odd subject matter that is just as relatable anytime soon, I'd be stunned. This is peak oddball pop excellence.
Different Class is up their as one of the best records to come out of the Britpop era with a nice satirical, tongue in cheek lyrics and some great melodies and some greater deep cuts within the record truly makes Different Class stand out.

EDIT: Sorry, this album is a 100.
Having the best song of the whole britpop movement is reason enough to give more than 90 points to this record. If you add to that, massive tracks like Mis-Shapes, Underwear, Monday Morning, Common People and F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E, then you have an absolute classic from a fantastic era.

Life is like orange juice... better WITH Pulp.
My dad put Disco 2000 on my iPod Nano back in the day and I just was kind of dismissive of it. Probably played Stacy's Mom for the hundredth time instead. Needless to say Pulp kind of disappeared from my mind until last summer when I was listening to this curated indie playlist that had Do You Remember the First Time? I was blown away by this lost hit.
