I've become really obsessed by them lately and need more, because I've listened to near-on everything they've released now.
What music would you recommend for someone who likes XTC?
John James
Brody Bell

The Pillows
But they were one of a kind.

he meant that he was a negative creep, a negative creep, a negative creep and he was stoned
Brandon Myers
I've seen some other suggestions before of bands similar to XTC but they didn't really gel with me, not much comes close. I was the same a few months ago and they're still my favourite band.
Someone mentioned Wall Of Voodoo but I haven't looked into that.
The Stranglers are sort of similar but not as good.
The Vapors are similar in that they're also new wave and I enjoy them a lot but it's not as powerful or exciting.
Currently I'm listening to Bauhaus but that's more like Joy Division than XTC.
Parker Perez
field music (the band)
Isaiah Rodriguez
Have you tried Andy Partridge's fuzzy warbles series yet? Or the reissues with Steven Wilson's fantastic remixes. Shit loads of unreleased demos, outtakes and alternate stuff there also.
Definitely give the Live release here a listen too
Jayden Campbell
All good suggestions so far, though nothing that quite scratches the itch unfortunately.
I've heard that album, and I'm making my way through Fuzzy Warbles at the minute. I might get the reissues at some point in the future, I do hear that they are great quality.
Gavin Rodriguez
I just listened to them and they sound sort of like korn
Camden Miller

Jacob Martin
living through another cuba which transitions into generals and majors on that live album is fucking gold
also this live version of all along the watchtower is great, not on any albums though so its not amazing quality which is a shame
Adam Powell
living through another cuba is such a fucking jam
kills me to know ill never see XTC live
James Rodriguez
Yeah, the only thing is that they're taking forever to come out with the reissues
Blake Howard
Yeah, I heard Andy say that the reason the reissues are coming out in no particular order is because they're basically paying Universal to root about in the vaults to find whatever they can find, releasing that, then using the money they get from that to pay them to do it again, or something like that.
Robert Harris
The The - Soul Mining
Samuel Cooper
The Beatles.
No, I'm not kidding. This is the obvious answer.
Evan Butler
I've never heard of them, are they good?
Jaxson Hall
WE'RE ONLY MAKING PLANS
Nicholas Wright
Yes, if you like XTC
Asher Mitchell
World Party - Bang!
Levi Jones
Has anyone heard that album of re-recordings of classic songs that Dave Gregory did? One or two of them ended up on compilations, but he subtly released a whole CD of them and I'm strangely fascinated by it.
Isaac Carter
Grayson Morgan
Barry Andrews on keyboards, Robert Fripp on Guitar, Sara Lee (Gang of Four) on bass. Some alcoholic on drums.
