1. Apple Venus

3. Oranges and Lemons
4. Nonsuch
5. Skylarking
(Like, literally, that's their last five records.) If the Dukes count as XTC, those would get slotted in there, probably after Wasp Star.

Mummer is so underrated.

I did not dislike this as much as I thought I might - I actually liked it. It's a pretty respectful cover. After viewing this, I'm surprised more bands don't cover it; perhaps I just am not aware of covers.
