Staying with XTC, if you really want to get a feel for what a dynamic live/studio in session this band is you must pick up the Transistor Blast box set. I adore the first two discs of BBC recordings. No Thugs in our House is another punky/pop classic. I especially love this version, listen for Andy Partridge sniffle at 4:21. He makes the little things like a sniffle sound so freaking cool. I also dig his growling howl he yells out throughout this BBC version.
If y're a XTC virgin, just press play and y'll be addicted after one spin. Open yr ears, swallow and sing along.

I love XTC from day one, one of my favourites and they're still making great music.
