1. here is a fun song... for Dems...

Shake You Donkey Up Lyrics

Here he come again
Dress in all that skin
Like he was still human being

Look at he long ears
And he big brown eyes
And with them truth he is seeing

Isn't it a shame you kicked that girl
Isn't it a shame she kicked you back, jackass

She really shake you donkey up
She really make you donkey up
She really shake you donkey up, quite a packet

How she carry you
Over thick and thin ice
You still dug you spurs in
Now you forced to walk
Laden down with shame
It's not just you back that's hurting

Now children saddle him for riding
Pick a fight with love and she will
Tan your hide in

She really shake you donkey up
She really shake you donkey up

Shake you donkey!

2. Never heard of them.

Just finished listening to "Miniature Sun" and "Dear God."

They suck! To put it mildly!

3. Heretic.

They're the best band ever, that wasn't the Beatles.

4. No wonder they are called XTC...

People who are brain-fried from taking ecstasy are the only fans they have. :evilgrin:

7. Pedant!

The '80s were a veritable Golden Age of Music. Just ask Debbie Gibson.

20. They weren't so bad.............

neither were the KLF, but they weren't the 80's. ABC had a sort of Wang-Chung posh thing working. Very ear-friendly radio candy, just not in a "I'm-going-to-run-out-and-buy-that-album-right-now" kinda way.

19. They don't count.

That didn't come out (at least in the states) until 1991.

26. XTC is in my top ten of all time

They are absolutely awesome!

I view them as having picked up on a Beatlesque genre and expanded it artistically.

Favorite songs that come to mind off the top of my head:

Towers Of London
Generals And Majors
Mayor Of Simpleton
Respectable Street
Earn Enough For Us
