Query: One of The Greatest Albums of the 1980s

Andy Partridge of the seminal British Alternative rock band 'XTC' once said of the album "English Roundabout" that the songs were all "either too dark, too long, or unfinished". I truly believe that he was being far too critical of himself and this masterpiece of Alternative Rock.When I first bought the Import version of this album in 1982, it honestly did not leave my turntable for the next month! I had, to that point, only experienced a small handful of albums that moved me on so many different emotional levels. I could not get enough of it! To this day, some 29 years later, when I play this collection the songs sound just a fresh, polished, and unique today. These songs, in my humble opinion, have stood up very nicely to the test of time and is, perhaps, THE quintessential XTC album.
