So I take it you don't remember the first time?

 

Would also say there should be space for Live Bed Show, Joyriders, and Bad Cover Version.

 

And if it was to be announced as a final show, then close it off with Happy Endings.

 

f**k it, give them an extended Cure/Springsteen length set.

 

I can not believe I left out First Time - I hang my head in shame and sneak it back in.  Goes to show what solid depth Pulp have - Others you mentioned, Dales suggested Trees.   Still means leaving out Bar Italia, O.U and Help The Aged!!!

I'd argue Pulp could draw more than The Cure in certain parts of the UK, but I digress.

Sort of like how the Courteeners are a stadium band in northern England and play much smaller venues down south right?

It's amazing how many people probably never listened to those songs when they came out but as you say they are now well known and loved songs. Throw in Mis-shapes & Sorted for E's & Wizz and you have half a set that everyone will know.

 

As some one who does not go to Glastonbury and only watches on TV, I can't believe that some do not think they are headline worthy and don't have the tunes. As a TV Glastonbury fan, I can say that lots of TV viewers will know more Pulp songs then many of the headliners Glastonbury has had.

 

 

I was impressed watching the crowd at Reading 2011 on YouTube that they actually seemed to know quite a fair bit. Whether it's the same now, I'm not sure. I went to Finsbury last year and there were definite peaks and troughs... although that's not exactly unique to one band.

 

I still want a Different Class in full show for 2025 to mark it's 30 year anniversary tbf. Whether it's announced is another matter.

I’ve never seen Bad Cover Version live yet it’s one of my favourites

Pretty sure Just Like Heaven, Boys Don't Cry, The Lovecats and Friday I'm In Love are on par if not bigger than Common People. 

Only Friday I'm In Love is anywhere near as a big a song.

 

Not about how popular it was at the time, it's how much it gets referenced, crops up on soundtracks, all that stuff.

 

It's like how Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream is massively known in the UK, but because it was the Labour 1997 election song and so all over the news for weeks. It wasn't such a focused single event with Common People but it's genuinely one of the best known songs in the UK. Your Gran has probably never even heard of Muse but will know Common People.

You could make a resonable case that

recon if you stopped people on the street and said name one Cure or Pulp song in a random test you are getting Common people 9 out if 10 times -

Any chance of Pulp next year? (sorry, I know we've been here before for two years!) 

 

Can't think of many better realistic options to close the festival before a fallow year
