30 years ago today (10/30/95), Pulp released their career-defining album Different Class, which won the Mercury Prize in 1996 for the best album released in the United Kingdom by a British or Irish act. Two of the album’s singles – “Common People” and “Disco 2000” – were standouts and helped give Pulp notoriety in the States. Jarvis Cocker’s lyrics, mixed with a more elevated, more mature shade of Britpop, made Pulp a more sophisticated listening pleasure than Blur and Oasis at the time.
