5. Something Changed: Pulp Fiction

Despite Blur and Oasis dominating the headlines, one band more
than any other came to represent the soaring highs and crushing
lows of Britpop - Pulp. From recording in a semi-detached house
in Sheffield to writing songs in a tent the night before
headlining Glastonbury, the Pulp story has it all. Thirty years
on from the legendary Radio 1 Evening Session, Jo Whiley and
Steve Lamacq look back at the history of Pulp, discuss the band’s
impact and reveal how the intervention of Bob Mortimer and David
Bowie might just have saved the 90s.
