This time it''s a BBC Glastonbury poll, various presenters have chosen their favourite Glasto moment and you have to pick one. Why did it have to be Chris Evans though? Maybe he has fond memories of having his scenery chucked out of a window in the 90s.

Oh, I presumed he chose '95 and not '11. Evans' relationship with Pulp is a strange one. A big fan back in the day, (nice shot of him beaming as Bar Italia is played at the '96 Mercurys) and the group were on his show three or four times but Jarvis started slagging him a bit after Hardcore. And around WLL, there was something about Evans playing Pulp on his show but cutting it short, saying something like "Well, Pulp are finished anyway".

Now I know I don't know that much about things but I always thought that Glastonbury had been going longer than since 1997!

Only seen three of these things, but Pulp were definitely the best of the three. I'm glad it's the '11 gig that was chosen. It really was something very, very exciting indeed.

Chris Evans: Pulp perform on the Park Stage, 2011
Mark Radcliffe: Leonard Cohen performs Hallelujah on the Pyramid Stage, 2008
Steve Lamacq: Blur headline the Pyramid Stage, 2009

I saw Leonard Cohen and he blew me away, Blur was very emotional and The XX was indeed excellent. But I didn't go in 2011 but the BBC recording and subsequent audience recording makes me wish I had just for Pulp.

Have voted but what a bizarre list, only 1 nomination pre 2000!

After voting they no longer allow people to know what the other choices are. Anyhow pulp's my favourite band so it makes no difference.

He refused to play anything from We Love Life at all.  Can't remember the exact comment, but he was pretty much finished himself at that point.  Think he ended up getting sacked from Virgin soon after.  Not for the Pulp comments, though that would be justification enough smile

To be fair to Chris Evans he did promote/play a lot of indie music both on Radio One and TFI and could be considered a key person in bringing the likes of Pulp, Oasis and Blur to the attention of the masses.

I do remember a character by the name of "DJ Ginger" (I think) who appeared in Melody Maker's Mr. Agreeable column. It was generally a transcript of his shows. He would always play The Cardigans and always with the line "The Cardigans: I made them. I can break them".

That said, I do think Chris Evans did a lot for the sort of music I got into as a teenager. Just think of the performances/guests you got to see on TFI who wouldn't have had mainstream exposure in other circumstances...

The 1998 TFI Friday appearance was discussed here a few months back. I remember it well as Chris Evans kept making comments about Pulp throughout the show. It was to with him wanting them to play the riff from Disco 2000 when going in & out if the ads and they refused. Mark passed some negative comments in an interview too. It was a long time ago & probably all water under the bridge now. They seemed happy enough to do exactly that for Jonathan Ross 15 years later!

Also Jarvis did an interview for RayGun where he said that TFI had ended up being just a vehicle for Chris Evans' ego didn't he? He was on about the time he chucked the cutout out of the window saying something along the lines of how he was going to go on and have a go at him but decided against it cos after the Brits he didn't want to look like Mr Angry. Or something.

Didn't he nearly kill the bloke from Metallica who was outside having a fag when a giant cardboard Cocker almost crushed him?
