XTC was an extremely underrated band. They had a very progressive style. This brings me back to college. Great song and great memories playing this on college radio at WBKX in Marquette, MI. Rock on BKXers of old.

There are so many great XTC songs to choose as a favorite. It would be hard but a labor of love to pick the top 50 songs. This is definitely a band where they progressed as they aged. Albums from Skylarking, Nonsuch, Orange & Lemons and the Apple Venus albums are incredible works of art. You can hear the Beatle & Beach Boy influence. The lyrics are beyond most anything that comes out a radio. I feel sorry for people when they haven't heard of XTC. Long live XTC!

Any " original artist" worth mentioning will always give credit to their influences. Influences can be heard in the most original artists it is impossible to seperate them. I will bet you cash, one or all of XTC have been influenced by Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, "PET SOUNDS" , "SMILEY SMILE" era in particular and that music is VERY conmplex and original just listen.

I know the songs of what you speak. They are not nearly as refined and interesting as the tracks Partridge has put out and what makes you think original artists like Xtc enjoy being compared to other artists?

??? " till I die" "Surfs up " are only 2 dark unusual Beach Boys ( Brian Wilson) songs I guarantee Messers Partridge, Moulding, and Gregory would slap you for your ignorance.

The Beach Boys never wrote anything this deep, dark and unusual. I give the devil his due but puhleeeze.

This song is magical. I think it's the finest thing Andy Partridge wrote.

If Oranges and Lemons was an ice cream sundae and all the songs were the ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream and nuts, this song would be the cherry on the top.
