Exactly- shame on CSM, who was usually spot-on back in the day. One of the good things about XTC's music is that it doesn't sound like Beatle music (at least 99% of it, that is) despite being massive fans themselves. That's pretty impressive.

Well...t h a t surely is the truth.Oasis were always the press darlings,cause they helped to shift copies. Still remember Charles Shaar Murray in Mojo raving about "On The Shoulders Of Giants"...a collection of overblown shite noise.

Underrated when compared to such an overrated group as Oasis who had the gall to compare themselves to "that other band" and probably always will. The mainstream never really knew who XTC was and never will, as opposed to the overrated Oasis. Just some food for thought, that's all.

The Jam was a contemporary of XTC. However, The Jam were definitely releasing records/lps before XTC did, by a year at least.

A great song....I had never seen this live clip before...fab!

@streettb Unfortunately, we never saw XTC develop and mature as a live act. Its such a shame they lost that dimension relatively early on. I prefer them to the Beatles any day lol

@streettb "Underrated"...how can that be ? this lot was (and still is)being compared to "That Other Band",left right and center. Which is beyond me. He got fat pretty quick too, that was one of the downsides of being bankroled by Branson. He literary got too full of himself, figuratively typing. Made a few nice tunes, but nothing so special that made Branson lose a million over this combo.

@streettb i think the problem with alot these creative bands from that era was that you could only hear them on college radio. makes my blood boil, now that i think about it. also, they spoke of this music as if it had already past, and i'm talking 1981-1983

Highly underrated. But when they were peaking, The Police owned pop music, followed by The Cars. And they were just too complicated for the casual listener. The song of theirs that made me stop what I was doing and "discover" them was Complicated Game. Genius certainly, but not radio material. As for this performance, I agree that they look about as comfortable as can be, not lipsyncing. One of the better sounding and energetic shows from them I think.
