    i do hear the beachiness style

    where did you give up with XTC? band is approaching top favorite level for me as im finishing up entire discog

    XTC got pretty beach boys ish at times but its also always distinctly british so that takes away from that aspect. equally beatles ish. both direct influences ofc

    and ofc they did some direct beach boys pastiche on side project dukes of stratosphear i think i showed before

    this the one

    they should’ve said feat the bbs bc it’s them doing the harmonies there which makes it the official best bbs song of the 70s not by them

    no way its touching any of the first 7 steely dan albums

    doesnt strike me as especially "dad rock" style either compared to other stuff of the time so not quite sure what that means or if it means anything at all. Other than the fact that Dennis does sound like a dad on it

    i think i actually liked a few jams of Mummer but then finally got to Skylarking and it was not what i was expecting. was hoping for some effervescent kinks/beach boys/beatles like opus but it still sounded like spikey punk band xtc.

    this is spikey punk to you??

    try this 1999 one then, there is no way its even close to spikey punk. (not even rock at this point)

    and this is the direct beach boys pastiche:
