A Girl Like You was a favourite of mine as a child, I loved it and still do. I was wrong earlier about liking and owning everything in here bar one, All Around The World is crap too.

 

For what it's worth as I haven't been here over the weekend...

 

Blur Top 10:

 

01 Coffee & TV

02 Tender

03 Beetlebum

04 This Is A Low

05 The Universal

06 Out Of Time

07 Chemical World

08 Popscene

09 To The End

10 For Tomorrow

 

I'm not sure any act have 10 songs I like that much. Idlewild and the Chemical Brothers at a push perhaps.

 

 

Pulp top 10, much more predictable....

 

01 Common People

02 Babies

03 Do You Remember The First Time?

04 Disco 2000

05 Sorted For E's & Whizz

06 Something Changed

07 She's A Lady

08 Acrylic Afternoons

09 Pencil Skirt

10 Feeling Called Love

 

 

I don't really know much other than the His N Hers and Different Class albums

19. A DESIGN FOR LIFE- Manic Street Preachers (268,400)

 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c7/ADesignForLife.jpg

 

Marking a major shift in popularity for the band, "A Design For Life" was the first fruits of life without Richey Edwards, and proved to be the springboard to a string of 14 consecutive top 20 hits where before they would struggle to enter the top 20. Despite leading initially- it eventually entered the charts at No 2 (behind Mark Morrison) but did lead to the million selling "Everything Must Go" Album.

 

 

 

er, that is the lowest figure I have ever seen for that single. I've seen 300,000 and 290,000 - the later of which I believed.

More bad news- as that is the real figure at the time, and it was in 1996 it has probably been revised down by the OCC subsequently.......

 

plus downloads obviously

just posted the ukmix link

Sorry :D :cry:

bit sad that it was outsold by A Girl Like You which I never really liked.

Hopefully without incurring wrath mine are

 

1. Pink Glove

2. Your Sister's Clothes

3. You're A Nightmare

4. Razzamatazz

5. Bar Italia

6. Babies

7. Disco 2000

8. Do You Remember the First time?

9. Live Bed Show

10. Lipgloss

 

That was actually quite hard! :lol:

No wrath, but you have included 2 of my least favourite classic era Pulp songs (Pink Glove and You're A Nightmare - although that is better than Deep Fried In Kelvin!) I will 100% let you off for loving Your Sisters Clothes though!

Jester! How can you not love Pink Glove? :(

Oh and we were getting on so well! :lol:

 

Your sister's clothes is IMO just as good as Babies, shoulda been a single. I think DC is a better album on the whole but HNH has better good tracks but worse bad ones if that makes sense!?

I have tried to like it over the past 17 years, but it just doesn't do it for me :(

The whole Sisters EP is great - I love Seconds and His N Hers too. It makes sense about the albums, and I agree.

17. LIVE FOREVER- Oasis (281,100)

In the Summer of 94 this was Oasis's first top 10 hit, just, and prepared the world for what would be "Definitely Maybe" the following month. Thanks to Wiki we know "Noel Gallagher commented on the praise given to the song: "People said to me after 'Live Forever', 'Where are you gonna go after that?' And I was like, I don't think it's that good. I think it's a f***ing good song, but I think I can do better". Well sales wise he certainly did do just that!

 

16. ALRIGHT/ TIME- Supergrass (283,200)

 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b0/ALRIGHT7.jpg

 

"It wasn't written as an anthem. It isn't supposed to be a rally cry for our generation. The stuff about 'We are young/We run green...' isn't about being 19 but really 13 or 14 and just discovering girls and drinking. It's meant to be light-hearted and a bit of a laugh, not at all a rebellious call to arms. It certainly wasn't written in a very summery vibe. It was written in a cottage where the heating had packed up and we were trying to build fires to keep warm." So Gaz Coombes says anyway.

 

Anyway their biggest hit by some distance and certainly the only one to chart here, "Allright" spent a fortnight at No 2 during that long hot summer of 95!

 

 

 

15. SORTED FOR E'S & WHIZZ/ MIS-SHAPES- Pulp (295,000)

The second Pulp track is 1995's double A Side which I think was premiered at Glastonbury that year when they practically stole the show in my opinion. The almost universal love for Pulp has already been documented on this thread, suffice it to say that after "Common People" sales only went one way for them! :o :cry:

 

Although I prefer Blur by a huge huge distance, Live Forever will always be better than every Blur single. An utter joy from start to finish and one of my favorite singles ever.

Hold on, I assumed "Shakermaker" was still to come but it can't have outsold "Live Forever" :unsure:
