Far Out Magazine has published a feature highlighting five underrated songs by Sheffield band Pulp, prompted by the group's 2025 reunion and their new album, More. The piece argues that although frontman Jarvis Cocker's band became synonymous with Britpop hits such as "Common People" and "Disco 2000" after their 1994 breakthrough, their much longer and more varied back catalogue has often been overlooked, including material stretching back to the band's formation in 1978.

The article traces Pulp's slow rise from Sheffield's indie scene, noting they existed for 16 years before mainstream success and were largely ignored outside South Yorkshire aside from a John Peel session and minor label deals. It singles out "My Lighthouse", released in 1983 as the band's first official single, as an early example of overlooked material—an acoustic, seaside-themed ballad quite unlike their later, more famous sound, showcasing a crooning vocal style distinct from Cocker's later talk-singing delivery.
