DEAD LINKS

NOTE : DEAD LINKS
We'd like to thank everyone for preventing us of dead links. For the moment, we are note able to re-up them.

Feel free to keep on preventing us of those dead links. We will update them when we (I and Jeb-E-Diah) have more time to (understand : from september). Some of them will be partially or completely repacked considering albums which would have been issued thereafter and surely with new and improved artworks.

Stay tuned !

XTC (ABO #173)


XTC
THIS IS POP

In many ways, XTC are similar to The Beatles. Both bands have that typically British thing going on, both bands decided - at some point of their career - to stop playing live, both bands are undisputed masters of pop music... Really, it just is a shame XTC never got the huge chart success they deserved.
Their 12 albums all have enough gems so that I didn't have a choice but to display the band's finest tunes on a 3 cds set. Yeah, that's how good Partridge & co were! I even had to ignore the two Dukes of Stratosphear albums because there wasn't enough space to include it properly.
Here are 52 songs to catch up on this รด so sweet band, enjoy!





Making Plans for Nigel (1979)



The Mayor of Simpleton (1989)



The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead (1992)



My XTC Top 3
1 - Nonsuch (1982)
2 - Oranges & Lemons (1989)
3 - Skylarking (1986)


My XTC Bottom 3
1 - Go 2 (1978)
2 - Mummer (1983)
3 - White Music (1978)
