Title: Pulp Different Class
Post by: johnsonad on November 22, 2020, 06:07:20 AM: I graduated HS in the early 90's and was into the grunge scene but somehow missed this group. There was an article about this album on BBC recently and it's worth the listen. Full album on link on YouTube:

I watched the Pulp video of the song. Not my typical genre, but actually quite enjoyable!! Thanks!

Cheers,
Geary
