Does anybody remember these guys?

Formed in 1972, XTC were a band that never gained much great commercial success, but the critics absolutely adored these guys. Hell, even that Pinhead Robert Christgau dolls out A's for their 80s work.

Probably most well known for their singles "Making Plans for Nigel" and "Senses Working Overtime"

But I myself discovered them when I heard the Crash Test Dummies cover XTC's "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead".

And then there's their Acid Rock/Psycedelic albums from the mid 80s. But that's another story.
