NONSUCH--XTC
I just finished watching XTC POP on Showtime thanks to FOH's heads up. Some very interesting admirers of the band, including Steven Wilson, added comments concerning XTC's music. The best way I can describe my love for the band is the following. If I'm having a discussion with someone concerning rock/pop music and I mention XTC and the other person declares he doesn't like XTC's music, I would simply end the discussion and walk away. Not going to waste my time with this person.
Anyway, NONSUCH, like pretty much all their recordings, including aka DUKES OF THE STRATOSPHERE, is pop of the highest caliber. And as Andy Partridge so immodestly stated in the docu, XTC's growth of greatness was similar to that 'other band.'
