BRITPOP WEEK!: Common People by PULP [1995]

Common People (.mp3)
by Pulp [video - wiki - iTunes]


Britpop - it meant so much to me and many of my friends. High on catchy hooks, melody, and witty lyrics, Britpop defined our 1990's...and our lives. I can go on for days about the music, the bands, the style...but words wouldn't do it justice. So to celebrate the brilliance of the music, we're dedicating this week to Britpop, and we're having some of our super music friends help us. Relive some classics or discover some new ones. Remember an era that for some of us, lives forever.

And to kick off Britpop Week, super music friend Jeff has chosen a song that defined the Britpop era. I can't think of a better way to kick it off than with this 90's British anthem:

"There are so many great Brit-Pop bands, but right away I thought of Pulp. Pulp is one of those defining bands in my music-loving history that I could never get enough of. This song & this album for sure, holds loads of memories for me. Jarvis Cocker is such an unlikely rock star, but somehow he pulls off being a complete badass. His stage presence is like no other. Love his lyrics & their music stylings." - Jeff
