XTC Ball and Chain

[BuddieinEK]

love it love it love it love it!

Messers Partridge and Moulding... thank you for memories that make me smile... music that makes me happy!

Musical genius for sure!

Used to love this song as a kid. I can hear that it's a sly Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society era rip off now. But I still love it!

Somehow, this reminds me of early, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd. Anyone else, or am I just crazy?

@stoprejectingmynames You're not crazy. It also reminds me Syd Barrett. It's very likely Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding were influenced by the founder of Pink Floyd!

very similar to The Clash "London Burning"

[Zangamarth]

@EDDJ1984 Roughly the same time periods on them, I believe.

I use this as an anti-eminent domain theme song in presentations. NYC Landmarks Preservation commission laughed, but it worked once.

I love this song! Too cool! :)
