Oh, me too - in fact, I spend half my time pondering on whether the Beatles were overrated or kmisunderstood geniuses. Check out a book called Revolution in the Head by Ian McDonald - it lists all the Beatles songs, their origins, etc etc. It's put a whole new light on things! Meanwhile, every time I go to Liverpool I wonder if the Liverpudlians are sick of everything Beatles... or if The Las took everything they learned from the Beatles and wrapped it up in two and a half minutes with 'There She Goes'.

But I digress. Pulp were a large part of the 90s Britpop thing. I am a big fan of their album His 'n' Hers; my partner prefers the follow-up 'Different Class', which is a much more commercial album. I dunno if you're in the US or not, but Britpop popularity in the US seemed to be isolated to places like LA and New York.

Oh, and Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) is almost at the same National Treasure status as Stephen Fry. They have the same trampy dress sense!

OK, I'll shut up now :-)
