Any XTC fans?

I'm listening to XTC's "Apple Venus" right now. This is really good stuff. I believe "Skylarking" is the critic's favorite but "Oranges and Lemons" has always been mine. I've listened to "Apple Venus" five or six times in the past week and it's getting to me (in a good way). Why have I listened to it so frequently? My house is packed for an upcoming move and I only left 40 or 50 cds unpacked and this is one of them. Reducing your selection is not a bad thing as it brings you closer to some good music.

Have been a big XTC fan since the early days. I'll echo Qdrone's comment that no one writes songs like these guys. In my mind, modern day Beatles. Sheer pop genius. So many great songs on so many albums. Respectable Street, Another Satellite, Dear Madame Barnum, Mayor of Simpleton, Books Are Burning, I'm the Man Who Murdered Love, Peter Pumpkinhead, Dear God, Church of Women, The Disappointed, The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul, Thanks for Christmas...

Tough to single out one favorite album - however, if pressed I'd be down to Nonsuch, Skylarking and English Settlement. Probably in that order.
