His 'N' Hers
Pulps breakthrough album to Britpop. From the opening song Joyriders - 'Oh you, you in the Jesus sandals, wouldn't you like to come and see some vandals?' His 'n' Hers included subjects such as: being inept with women, hiding in wardrobes watching your sister having sex, failing to turn your husband on, illicit affairs while the old man's way. The singles in this album include: 'Lipgloss', 'Do You Remember the First Time' and the unforgettable 'Babies'. This album will remain to me as a classic, as I come back to it time and time again.
Different Class
The witty Jarvis Cocker brought Britpop to life with this album. The lyrics are centred around themes of sex and class. However, it is not necessarily glamourized or romanticised, but more brought down to the gritty reality that is England. With songs such as the hit 'Common People' and its flipside 'Underwear'. You are taken down a spiral of his stories, with incredible music to accompany it.
This Is Hardcore
Written again by the great Jarvis Cocker, the lyrics he wrote never lied to the audience or tried to convince them life was rosier or more rubbish than it actually is. The fact that he had a keen eye for detail, and a fantastic turn of phrase, just shows what an important band this is. Although not commercially successful, it contained Jarvis' darker truths and therefore we are given a more powerful album.
