Favorite XTC number?
Assuming this doesn't just plummet straight to the archives, I'm expecting a lot of "Dear God"s. I never cared for the song myself, though I certainly appreciate the lyrics and Andy's passionate singing. Being the fun, joyous kind of guy I was in the '80s, mine has always been "All of a Sudden (It's Too Late)," and even though I'm much more cheerful these days, it still is. But the one that's been stuck in my head all week and which thus inspired the thread is (1-2-3-4-5) "Senses Working Overtime." And you?

6. ...boys and girls....

Making Plans for Nigel and Fly on the Wall - and the entire Black Sea album - aren't bad tunes either...

4. Senses Working Overtime
Not a big XTC fan (Andy Partridge was a bit grating), but "Senses" is a masterful bit of quirky pop.

5. Pretty much anything from "Oranges And Lemons".
Mayor of Simpleton, King For A Day, The Loving, Merely A Man...all wonderful stuff. However, I feel equally as strong about tracks like Peter Pumpkinhead and Dear Madam Barnum. Oh, and Your Dictionary. (Actually, just about anything from Apple Venus Volume 1 as well.)

14. It always pissed me off, Bossy.
That "Dear God" replaced "Mermaid Smiled" on Skylarking. I'm still upset.

20. Heard the neighbor slam his car door. Don't he realize this is respectable street?
I had Respectable Street stuck in my head as an earworm for the LONGEST time!
