Pulp

English alternative rock and britpop band Pulp was formed in 1978, in Sheffield. The band comprised Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Mark Webber, Steve Mackey and Nick Banks. They were originally known as "Arabicus Pulp", but this was shortened a year later. In 1995, Pulp released their breakthrough album, Different Class, which you may download in mp3 from our site. Two of the singles on the album – "Common People" (which reached number two in the UK singles chart) and "Disco 2000" (which reached number seven) – were especially notable, and helped to propel Pulp to nationwide fame. The album was the winner of the 1996 Mercury Music Prize. In 1998 Q readers voted Different Class the 37th greatest album of all time. In 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 46 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2004 it was voted number 70 of Channel 4's 100 greatest albums.
