IMO the whole Britpop designation was a terrible construction of the British music press of the time. However, if I was forced to pick the music of only one of the bands with this label to take to a desert island …it might be Pulp.

        I read his latest memoir where he says this:

        “I know the style of performance on my albums is not typical of singer-songwriters; it is more of a spoken-word poetry set to music.” — Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder by William Shatner

        He also went into detail about his intentions when he first recorded music, which did actually make sense.

        “…Folds abruptly replaces Shatner’s voice with that of singer Joe Jackson, and then alternates and blends the two into a duet, bringing along a large chorus of young voices on the line “sing along with the common people”, which finally replace Shatner and Jackson’s vocals in the song’s concluding crescendo”
