XTC - Skylarking ranked

What's your most-loved and least favorite song on XTC's Skylarking? Dear Pod, we were in literal and figurative ecstasy talking about the ninth album by Swindon's finest. Jim's pick led to a new innovative countdown ranking system that we adored. Fun sharing how we all wrestled with tearing apart song combos and a track order that is such a huge part of why we love it so. Lots of our patented opinion clashing plus special guest ranker Tim Smith from Georgia XTC satellites Nigels With Attitude, Jellyfish and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds weighs in. We're taking a bit of a recording break for the summer season cauldron cycle, so enjoy our longest episode to date. In the meantime, our social media will still be just as fun as the pod, so please tell us how YOU would rank tonight's tunes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter  @wewillrankyoupod !
