Agree with you on Pulp - had a big thing for them back "in the day". And when it comes to songs on the radio I dont' get tired of - I still love Andre2000 Hey Ya. Can't help but have a bop in the car. I know...I'm sad. But at least I'm aware of it :)

I had have to go with Transmission, if only for the "Dance Dance Dance...." but Atmosphere would be a very close second, with New Orders "Perfect Kiss".

I would go as far as saying it's one the greatest songs ever written. The tension in it is unbelievable. 'The Fear' from the same album is also of a similar epic nature.
