XTC Complicated Game

[prematurelybald]

22,222 views should be 222,222,222,222, simply sinister song with a nice, punchy baseline, but the reason this song has so few views is because it does not conform, the very topic of the song itself.

[dylanwhostones]

I absolutly adored this album and this song when it first came out. To this day, the building anger and volume in the song is a priceless example of how artists can give voice to our frustration and rage!

[Spiritus34000]

@sovatebra haha takodje zahvaljujuci Dokumentarcu o Ekv-u sam 2010 otkrio ovaj sjajan band :D

[aebugsbunny]

xtc could make statements like this without looking like pompous twits like the way overplayed pink floyd on the same record helicopter ten feet tall and complicated game and roads girdle the globe. now thats creative!

[subhumanx7]

@aebugsbunny I'm a big floyd fan but your right, animals and the wall were made about the same time album debuted. floyd had all ready made their best stuff 4 years earlier.

[Isidora2186]

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

lmfao...how incredible!

i have been a huge dukes of stratospheare and xtc fan since black sea, yet i have never listened to this album until today at this moment in 2011, and i'm melting about what i have missed... but omg to hear this for the first time in this complicated year of our Lord... Everything is melting!

[SnakemanisJeff]

This would have to be my 80's signature track....it pretty well summed up my youth at that point.....and you know what? It's just a complicated game.....still.

[darcsaster]

I would choose XTC and Floyd with many drugs any day

[subhumanx7]

This group is why I love alternative music. If I was ever stranded on a desert island I would choose XTC and Floyd over drugs any day.

[seanohalpin]

Still astonishing after all these years... :)

[spiderjerusalem100]

Check out the Misery Loves co. cover of this song, pretty intense.

[nelly712002]

@spiderjerusalem100 just been listening to them fooook they good



[bobtallica4u]

Right fuckin' on!

[genglemt]

A supremely angst ridden song, building up tension all the way up to a climax that sounds like a nervous break down, and then everything just falls apart..

[thecrazybitch371]

That's it! I'm buyin a record player so I can hear my XTC again!!

[hufclufc]

@rocketssg Yeah, my rather large vinyl collection is in an attic in Leicester while enjoy life the other side of the world. One day, in my old age, I shall play them all again and think myself lucky I lived through the golden age of' 'pop'

[thecrazybitch371]

[thecrazybitch371]

god it has been awhile but this brings back good memories,thanks to my brother matthew.............fallingDow­n08...

[SorrowfulMystery]

The form of this song is brilliantly suited to its subject. That's the genius of this band.

[openmikescene]

The 70s were, and always will be the future

[suicacrobatdude]

@openmikescene I agree with you. This song is like an introspective nightmare.

[stevemenard]

Surreal Partridge composition. He adds to his own brilliant lyrics with an emotionally-charged vocal performance.

[bunkerDWG]

Saw them live in 1979 & drank with them afterwards , greta band !

[dylanwhostones]

@bunkerDWG

You lucky, lucky, lucky , bastard :-D I'm green with envy :-)

[ktmggg]

This is still the most brilliant album I ever heard. It never gets old.

[uneasyheart]

i think i just came

[tanpiltanpil]

I love PIL,Killimg Joke, The Fall, JOY Division, Bowie, The Velvet Underground but have always followed XTC since 1977. Brilliant song, love them for their total their sound.

[misterfattanza]

FANTASTICA......OGNI VOLTA CHE LA SENTO MI METTE I BRIVIDI

[axellock62]

nothings changed ,its still a complicated game. great album thanks for posting it.

[imokyrok2]

only late at night in my dorm room. Refused to share it with anyone. Too close to home

[deltatangofoxtot]

Thank you for posting this--been waiting.

[joakoPRIMUS]

Wow....

[existentialcwby]

wow. holy shit. i thought i knew xtc's artistic/songwriting/singing limits, but this just blew me away. goddamn this is good.

[rooneykotwn]

i love this song!!!!!

[ThePlacidman]

The greatest ending to an album ever!

[warhols25]

Crushing commentary on this goddamn contemporary conformist society, simultaneously the best song by this underrated band from UK. Period.

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

@warhols25 hear hear. the kids try to revolt, and the silent majority watch jeremy fucking kyle and pour scorn on them. a week later they want us to support the war on terror in libya and syria. yeah, right.

[trombonemunroe]

@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 ... because the war on drugs worked out so well (and is winnable, and saves lives, right)? Snicker!
