ok greg..a good choice there!!gregpolard wrote:There was a period of about 2 months where I listened to almost exclusively XTC. I got a bunch of the albums and singles on vinyl too!
As for a favorite song....tough to choose honestly. I really like "Making Plans for Nigel", that's the song that always pops in my head whenever someone first mentions XTC.

It would have to be a Top 10 or something, but if I had to choose one song, it would have be "Earn Enough for Us" from Skylarking (which I now think is their best Lp). When I was younger, I'd go for Drums and Wires, Black Sea or English Settlement and I still love all of them, but I play Skylarking and Mummer more these days.
Anyway, other favorites: "Love at First Sight," "That's Really Super, Supergirl," "Vanishing Girl," "You're the Wish You Are I Had". That's a good Top 5 right there.

Man, that’s such a great track. When it comes to Skylarking, I also love "Mermaid Smiled" (highly underrated imo) and "Summer's Cauldron". Other XTC favorites include “I Can’t Own Her” (easily one of my favorite songs ever), “Easter Theatre”, and “Wonderland”.

Skylarking is my fave from them but in the past few years I listen to the BBC live box set more than anything. It covers all the great stuff from '78-'82

Many years later, I bought Black Sea, English Settlement, and then Drums & Wires. To date these are the only albums by the band I've heard that I like and I really have to be in the right mood to listen to them. They have a few songs that just grate on my nerves for some reason.
I couldn't name a favorite track by them right, but I enjoy listening to those albums for the most part when I'm in the right mood.
