Different Class

VINYL FORMAT. When two dogs (in this case, Blur and Oasis) fight over a bone, sometimes an unknown third can take the slot of Stone Roses no-shows at the Glastonbury festival and run away with the title of Best Brit pop Band of 1995. Such was the case with Pulp, even if charismatic frontman Jarvis Cocker never liked the moniker. Pulp came, saw, and recorded one of the best albums of the genre with 1995's Different Class. The inspiration for the title came from a friend of Cocker who used the phrase "different class" to describe something that was "in a class of its own." Cocker liked the double meaning, with its allusions to the British social class system – a theme of some of the songs on the album.
