This one's for real too. In no particular order (other than the one they appear in on your computer screen):

Garden of Earthly Delights
River of Orchids
Wrapped in Grey
Life Begins at the Hop
Making Plans for Nigel
Respectable Street (particularly the live version on Urgh! A Music War)
No Thugs in Our House
Generals and Majors
No Language in Our Lungs
Battery Brides (the live version from the December 1980 Hammersmith Palais show, on Transistor Blast: The BBC Sessions)

Nobody mentioned the best XTC Song. "The Beating of Hearts" off of Mummer. I crank my I-Pod every time that comes on.

I love how he pronounced Rattling Swords...

Agree with Blasmo: Hard to pick just ten favorite/great XTC songs. Same goes for Robyn Hitchcock/The Soft Boys.

That's why I posted those suggestions for lists: because I care. Probably not as passionately as Erik, but yes, I do care.
