Hah, yeah Jman bascially groups any music that doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of Pop as "Frogger music" I don't take any offense to what you said, I was just curious as to know why. I think the xx had a solid debut, but failed to build off of that, while just treading the same waters instead of moving their sound forward. XTC are a fairly recent discovery for me, and they have many fantastic albums in their repertoire. And they start with X. As a side note, EITS is post-rock, not ambient. Anyways XTC>The xx

Thanks, I know some sites wouldn't be as kind as this. Really love the community here! The XX never did much for me. Glad you found XTC, and glad you're enjoying them. Also thanks for the sidenote because those two genres (as well as "shoegazer music") blurs together for me.

Remember how someone on a less kind discussion (I don't remember who I just remember it spiraled) coined the phrase "Frogger Music"? Well I think of XX as being in that genre.

I don't mean any of this to be offensive, I'm really glad y'all have awesome tastes. This was a poor assumption, I know, it's all taste: I like Explosions in the Sky's ambient sorts of things but not Eno's, it's all just opinion and I can't assume. I'm sorry if you took any offense to any of that.

I'm offended. You were expecting me to say The XX? Why?

Considering that the Big Express appears in 6 charts and 5 of them are mine, I think I've got to be one of the biggest XTC supporters on BEA. I have all of their studio albums on vinyl too. Plus I find The XX incredibly mediocre

If we're rating X bands

1. XTC
2. Xiu Xiu
3. X
4. X -Ray Spex
5. The XX

IDK, this website just seems to love XX sorts of music, and I'm still learning who's into what. I was more surprised about Frogger, however. Glad that you are an XTC supporter here, and I too have all of their studio albums on the old vinyls my dad had. Now that I know that about you, I may have to stalk through your charts, though ...

Alright, so, this is solely iTunes stuff I'm going off of, therefore not nearly my whole collection and only a fraction of what I've listened to. I'm only making exceptions if an album/song I KNOW would be my favourite isn't in iTunes. Also, I'm sticking to a rule that, if I have a connection between artist, song, and album, I MUST go with that.

"All I Really Want" by Alanis Morissette

"Blindsided" by Bon Iver

"London Calling" off of London Calling by The Clash

"Scene Seven: I. The Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater

"Eazy-er Said Than Dunn" off of Eazy-Duz-It by Eazy-E

"February Stars" by Foo Fighters

"Geek Stink Breath" by Green Day

"Vampire Heart" by H.I.M.

"Invaders" by Iron Maiden

"Hey Joe" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

"Planet of Sound" by Pixies

"The March of the Black Queen" off of Queen II by Queen

"Reckoner" off of In Rainbows by Radiohead
