: I like the first half of Skylarking a lot,
: but I feel like the second half lets it down
: quite a bit. And yes, I get the concept,
: which is all well and good, I just don't
: particularly care for most of the songs on
: that half. I like Black Sea and English
: Settlement better, along with the Dukes of
: Stratosphear material.
:
: XTC have a whole lot of really good/great
: albums, though. I'd be surprised if they
: got a 4 star rating over the artists Mr. X
: mentioned, but I wouldn't be surprised to
: see several well deserved C's and D's in
: their album ratings.

: Pretty sure XTC is getting the 4 stars with
: Skylarking getting an F. Which I totally
: agree with.

: Speculating the remaining artists in his
: itinerary (here are the numbers for
: reference):
: 1-star: 5
: 2-star: 4
: 3-star: 13
: 4-star: 2
:
: There are a few great candidates for the
: 4-star rating. Personally, I find four
: artists worthy of it: the Beach Boys, Stevie
: Wonder, Paul McCartney and Kate Bush (of
: course, I go by the "highest rating -
: 10 = band rating" principal).
