I recently discovered the post where we could ask a question, and I bookmarked it because I was too busy to focus on it. Britpop and everything British was very popular in the mid to late 90s. XTC released hardly anything during that decade after coming off an impressive streak of albums from the 80s. They were doing great and then suddenly stopped after 1992 and didn't release anything until 1999, and missed, I feel, a crucial era where their music would have been "in the right place at the right time". They were still in top form and a young act when the early 90s rolled along. My question to him was going to be, "Do you feel you (XTC) missed out on the (important) British fad of the 90s wherein the band could have been discovered by more young people, and do you regret not releasing a couple albums in that seven year dry spell?"<br><br>When I first discovered XTC years ago (through the song and video "This Is Pop") I thought they were so underrated, and I still think that today (perhaps they are getting their due through Youtube however). Their music videos from the 70s and 80s were so far ahead of their time. Every single I discovered along the way, I liked. I eventually bought some of their albums on vinyl and watched some of their live performances on Youtube, and I have to say that XTC is the UK's best kept secret. I was pretty bummed the day I found their Wikipedia entry and the "Years active" tab changed from "current" to "2005". You guys had a good run, and you will continue to influence people/bands in the years to come. Argh, I'm so ticked I missed asking him a question by mere days!
