I'm far more of a singles person with XTC (hard not to be when they were such pristine pop singles), but I'm also a late period guy. So …

1. Apple Venus
2. Wasp Star
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.
Now if Apple Venus and Wasp Star had been distilled into one album it would be near the top of my list.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Hello,

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.
