Top 10 WTF Top Of The Pops Performances https://youtu.be/SRCf0mS6GWo
-
1. Jimmy Saville
-
The Nirvana one was definitely not a disaster! I can remember being a teenager in the UK at the time, and we all loved them for what they did; taking the absolute piss and just being defiant. That was part of the whole grunge shtick. It added to how much we loved them
-
If you think these were TOTP disasters, just wait until you hear about the bloke who used to present it...
-
Holding the record for most complaints is the ultimate punk rock achievement. SO glad you included Manic Street Preachers on the list!!!

Oasis swapping over, absolutely brilliant. Nirvana was funny AF too. In the time when musicians actually had opinions snd personalities.
-
So glad to see the Manics on here, especially with Richey but the singer is James Dean Bradfield, not Bradford.
-
RIP Kirsty still missed.
-
The best line ever about the Dexty's performance was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks where Phil Jupitus said 'lucky they weren't singing Come On Eileen'
-
All About Eve to their credit came back the following week and absolutely nailed it with the live version. Julianne Regan has a beautiful voice.
-
My favourite moment was when Chris Eubank (a man with a lisp) was invited to present and was given the line “a special song for a special singer, it’s Suggs singing Cecilia”.
-
The BBC “Apolitical “ that’s the funniest thing I think I’ve ever heard !!!
-
Surely looking back the biggest mistake top of the pops ever made was jimmy saville.
-
My favorite is Iron Maiden messing around and swapping instruments over and over during the song
-
As several people have already said, Dexy's Midnight Runners have themselves explained the Jocky Wilson situation many times but, of course, "To this day, nobody knows why this happened" and "They've never explained". Who researches this? Anyone?
-
Maybe the number 1 disaster should have been Jimmy Saville being given access to victims for years.
-
Well, I can tell Nirvana definitely made it clear THEY were not happy with being forced to use a pre-recorded backing track.
-
Should've mentioned Faith No More in 1990. Mike refusing the play along and making it a point to show he was lip syncing is both an underrated and iconic moment.
-
To be fair tho, Nirvana hit out of the park with that performance, ridiculous tho it may be to most. But damnit, Kurt Cobain's impression of Morrissey was the icing on the cake! ✌🏾
