IMHO they would have been as big or bigger than U2 IF they had continued touring...plus i think Andy more than Colin and the guys would have loved to keep touring. especially when you see how extroverted Andy is in interviews and ALL their video clips

ps yes i have all the albums and was "hooked"when "Black Sea " was released so im a big fan and always will be ...still wear my Üffington horse Ts with pride :)

So you're "still wear my Üffington horse Ts with pride"? Good for you -- me too!

XTC are the most underrated band in the entire history of music. They should have sold out stadia and sold record in truck loads with the calibre of the material they released.

It's such a shame that more people don't know Andy's music. He's the British Brian Wilson. Well, without all the drugs and the sandbox.

as you sit in the crowded Broadway theater you begin to wonder why there is a dehydrating dolphin on stage being sprayed with a hose, which is leaking water onto the floor everywhere. All of the sudden the trumpets sound and a giant foam Pirate ship floats into the center, atop its mast, Andy Partridge, globe in one hand, sword in the other. Can you say BEST MUSICAL EVER!?

I met Andy and Colin the day after this interview, when they did an in-store at the Virgin Megastore in L.A. One of the best days of my life! They were great guys and Andy was hilarious. It took five hours to get through the line because Andy was spending so much time with people. I have some wonderful signed and drawn on mementos from that appearance.

You clearly are either too young, or too uninformed. He HATED performing live and it did frighten him to the point of sickness.

This guy had stage fright? Bullshit.
