Phil O'Keefe Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Someone commented about an XTC song I posted in the Music Association thread and said they had never heard of them... but liked what he was hearing. So I thought an XTC thread was in order. Feel free to post some of your favorite XTC songs. Here's a few to get the party started...

Members blue2blue Posted December 23, 2015 Members Share Posted December 23, 2015 One of the smartest, coolest bands ever. I was very, very lucky to be able to see them at the Whisky a Go Go in LA in February, 1980. And they were utterly brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have gone and saw them live when I had the opportunities... little did I know they would stop touring so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Folder Posted December 23, 2015 Members Share Posted December 23, 2015 XTC was the band that introduced me to new wave/punk type music. At the time I was into progressive rock and jazz fusion. I went to school with a guy from Macon, Georgia who use to play in a band with Mike Mills and Bill Berry who later went on to form a band called R.E.M. He used to try to get me to listen to all the new wave bands that were coming out back then. I was resistant because I thought they were a bunch of no talent punks. I actually turned down an offer to see the Sex Pistols for the same reason. I first heard "Drums and Wires" but when "Black Sea" came out I was hooked. It's still one of my favorite albums, Not too long after that I saw them at the B&L Warehouse in Athens, Georgia with a little local band called R.E.M. opening for them.

I should have gone and saw them live when I had the opportunities... little did I know they would stop touring so soon. Yeah, I almost didn't make it, too. I had to cadge a last minute ride with a friend of a friend of a friend -- in exchange for a ticket when my GF couldn't go at the last minute and my motorcycle was out of commission. The third-hand friend-of-friend turned out to be taking recording classes at the local community college. She no interest in recording my band there (it did give me a chance to see her disdain face and it was a good one) but she suggested I ought to look into the recording program there. And I did. So XTC led me directly here... er... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
