Page "Pulp (band)" Paragraph 1

Throughout the 1980s, the band struggled to find success, but gained prominence in the UK in the mid-1990s with the release of the albums His ' n ' Hers in 1994 and particularly Different Class in 1995, which reached the number one spot in the UK Albums Chart.

Different Class spawned four top ten singles, including " Common People " and " Sorted for E's & Wizz ", both of which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart.

Pulp's musical style during this period consisted of disco influenced pop-rock coupled with " kitchen sink drama "- style lyrics.

Jarvis Cocker and the band became major figures in the Britpop movement, and were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 1994 for His ' n ' Hers ; they won the prize in 1996 for Different Class.

They headlined the Pyramid Stage of the Glastonbury Festival twice.
