Agreed - far from "obscure". I was only about 10 years old when I got into them a bit - and I was hardly "out there" with my tastes.

When I use the word obscure it is meant in the 'dim' sense that being most of these songs lurk in the dim recesses of our memory. These are songs that I hope you say 'oh yeah I remember that'.

I would never see XTC as obscure music. Andy Partridge was a hero throughout my late teens early twenties and Sergeant Rock was a fab song too. Quirky. English eccentrics. Never obscure.
