He is such a multi-dimensional composer that every album gives you the wrong impression of what he was about. If you like prog I would say to start with Overnite Sensation, One Size Fits all or Hot Rats.

>>65434157
It does count because it was under the band name "The Velvet Underground" pleb.

Stop being in denial that your favourite band made a dud.

All of XTC's albums are an 8.0 imo, with the exception, however, of their debut (6.0) and their follow-up (5.0). That's just my opinion, although it's generally accepted that their first twp albums are their weakest. (Pressured by their label into delivering a certain sound and rushing it).
>>
>>65434335
>>65434121
Frank was pretty anti-drug and anti-hippie so none of his albums are purposefully psychedelic or drug-ish, but check out Trance-Fusion -- it's not what it sounds like, it's a compilation album of just guitar solos and it's got some fantastically out-there pieces on it.
As the other guy said, overnite sensation, OSFA and hot rats are all great albums, if you want to see his more political side check out Absolutely Free, specifically songs like Plastic People and Brown Shoes Don't Make It.


>>65434169
>every album gives you the wrong impression of what he was about
So bloody true, I can never know what albums to recommend to friends who have never listened to him because I always feel like they'll get the wrong impression of what he's all about.

>>65438762
Agreed, although there are some good moments on it. You can see why Frank didn't end up performing it.
>>
>>65437166
Agreed. Also one of the bands that influenced them, Camel, consistently released good albums. (1970's Progressive Rock).
