  • listen, talking heads were great. a really fantastic outfit, but i truly truly believe that XTC were the most underrated and truly way ahead of their time bands ever

    english settlement, their album from 1982 is both a masterpiece and utterly timeless

    legendary

  • Hi guys, aqualash go2 was xtc's second album white music was the first, i reckon still around '77 though(it has a cover of 'all along the watchtower' on). Both had barry andrews on keyboards. Drums and wires was the first with dave gregory on 2nd guitar.I saw first line up once around 78/79 then around 6/7 times with gregory. Great gigs fantastic pop songs but also very clever music and lyrics, maybe too clever for the music press??

see all

  • Played this track on Black sea tour in 1980, saw it in Southampton, at the end of the track they flashed strobes in time to the sound of a helicoptor blade, gave me head spin and I nearly fell off the balcony! Bloody Brilliant tho.

  • @lennymullett That's a huge call. I love the Talking Heads sooooo much.

    But I agree Lenny, XTC are on my top 3 list, just above the Talking Heads

  • English Settlement is my favourite album EVER

  • @ubudian07 Vocally very much so! My dad confuses Danny and Andy most of the time. :)

  • SHES A LAUGHING GORGLING WHARGLLEBLLAARRGGG

    lol, funniest XTC moment ever

  • Andy Partridge in early stages of Tourettes???

  • all along the watchtower...he he the harmonica version awesome hilarious takes the piss out of it lol

  • @NRVERTAKEMEALIVE didn't the music press love them?

  • @NRVERTAKEMEALIVE

    .

    Well I am supremely jealous. I could not see them in 1980 due to finances. My buddy met the band and got his copy of BS autographed.

    .

    At least I can watch on YT and remember all the great times listening to all of their music.

  • Huh...After 30 years I just noticed how much XTC and Oingo Boingo are on the same "wave".
