Weird obsure meme

[jedishampoo]

Don't try to post too many of these meme things, but I couldn't resist taking this one and seeing if ANYONE on my f-list even knows who this band is. Unfortunately, I scored horribly for someone who thought she knew every XTC song. Man, this guy pulled out some obscure demo and B-side stuff for this one.

Merely a Man You have 63% knowledge of XTC lyrics!

You know your stuff pretty well, but the more obscure material is probably tripping you up. You're Merely A Man (or woman). You can't possibily be expected to know and remember everything, but you're definitely a fan. If you ever get more familiar with some of the less widely available material, come back and try again...I'll have nothing but love for you!

I hated them until the summer of 1989, when I drove from Indiana to Winston-Salem, North Carolina with some friends who played "Skylarking" over and over, the whole way. It became a matter of either like them or go insane. ;)

Their lyrics really are brilliant. And they have a very Beatles-esque sound.

So really, 30 miles from Swindon?? I get e-mails from the online XTC fandom discussing their various get-togethers and tribute shows which often happen there or nearby. They sound like total blasts, but alas, I cannot get there to join them.
