This Is Pop-Documentary on XTC (British Band)

[cayin]

It is great to see a documentary out on the brilliant and criminally under appreciated British band XTC. I just watched it and it was excellent.

I've not been a major follower of XTC, only absorbed bits & pieces along the way. I'd like to see the doc, might shed some new light.

Perhaps a too-obvious choice to those who are more familiar than I am with the band's discography. But here it is anyway.

Dear God was very divisive for sure. Some radio stations banned it. Peter Pumpkin Head or Mayor of Simpleton are other obvious choices.

Indeed. XTC is addicting. Which one is your favorite album?

English Settlement and Black Sea.

Just watched the show and was blown away. I knew Andy had stage fright but seems it was all valium related. Some of the early footage was really cool.

I haven't gotten into his Fuzzy Warblings but think I'll re-examine his work after XTC.

Thanks again for the heads-up on the show.

I've got the Skylarking album, mainly for "Dear God". I usually don't hate any of the stuff when it pops up my iPod, though. A ccol song that hasn't been mentioned yet:

Skylarking is probably my favorite album. Sacrificial Bonfire and Satellite are my two favorites off of that.
