XTC was an English New Wave band that formed in 1976. While MTV will put them in its "One-Hit Wonders" shows for the song "Dear God," they were much more than that one very interesting song.
The band has a very interesting history of making music, both live and in the studio. Singer Andy Partridge suffered horrible stage fright, so for years, they were a studio-only band.
Anyway, they made tremendously good music. XTC, your Video Friday:
"Making Plans for Nigel"
"Generals and Majors"
"Senses Working Overtime"
"Sgt. Rock"
"Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead"
"Mayor of Simpleton"
"Ball and Chain"
"King for a Day"
"Dear God"
And perhaps my favorite:
"Life Begins at the Hop"

XTC, for me, is one of those bands that I'm glad people have overlooked...it's my little secret.

I just posted this version of Nigel on my blog not to long ago.
