Wailers - Them Belly Full, Concrete Jungle, Get Up Stand Up

Tbf that song contains little accurate class analysis.

 

[Madusa]

Tbf that song contains little accurate class analysis.

And they're hardly 'greatest ever pop songs' really. I'm just bored.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ain't goin' to Goa.

I'm not sure that counts, but it's definitely the best anti-trustafarian pop song ever

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Shandyland - The Tansads

Nice call. But its Pulp. It really is.

 

[Kaka Tim]

16 Tons.

 

[N_igma]

Blur-Park Life.

 

[BBORCIK]

What about "Jacob's Latter" by Mark Wills or "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins?

 

[sam/phallocrat]

Ain't goin' to Goa.

Cos the righteous truth is, there ain't nothing worse than some fool lying on some Third World beach wearing spandex, psychedelic trousers, smoking damn dope pretending he gettin' consciousness expansion. If I want consciousness expansion, I go to my local tabernacle an' I sing . . .

(e2a the tekno mix is better than the original though)

 

[sojourner]

Nice call. But its Pulp. It really is.

!

someone who's actually heard of the tansads?

I can even claim to know someone who lived next door to Ed from the Tansads.

Up the revolution!

[Fedayn]

Kill the Poor - Dead Kennedys

 

[badseed]

That one by The Brilliant Corners that goes:
She told her friends I was a socialist because I lived in a council house
Talked about Engels and Marx
Did they play for West Germany?

 

[Final]

Nice call. But its Pulp. It really is.

pfft.

Eton Rifles is better than the pulp song, and no ones even tried to sneak in a RATM song yet.

 

[soulman]

The Housemartins - There Is Always Something There To Remind Me

 

[Crispy]

Yes, yes it is the finest song about class. this is going to be a dull thread with lots of agreement.

that's exactly what I was going to say

 

[soulman]

that's exactly what I was going to say

It's about someone from the lower middle class and someone from the upper middle class. It's made for urban...

 

[idioteque]

Nick Drake - Man In A Shed

 

[Final]

It's about someone from the lower middle class and someone from the upper middle class. It's made for urban...

 

[trevhagl]

;My nomination - off the top of my head - has to be Pulp's "Common People."

Is this truly the finest pop song about class? Opinions, please!

You could be right. Jarvis is one of the few indie crowd who seems down to earth and sussed

Life in a Northern Town - Dream Academy

 

[redsnapper]

pfft.

Eton Rifles is better than the pulp song, and no ones even tried to sneak in a RATM song yet.

Yep, Eton Rifles gets my vote or Saturdays Kids by same band.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

common people has the secondary benefit of having a cover version by william shatner
