He did a fantastic job producing XTC’s Skylarking. Andy hated him during the sessions, but came around years later to admit Todd did a fine job.

Yes, he did do a good job on "Skylarking", although I would dispute that it is not XTC's best record (I know, you didn't say that, but others do). But I've been a TR fan since I purchased "Hermit of Mink Hollow" at the time it came out ('78?). I have a decent collection of his work, either on CD or vinyl, but it might be time to fill in some gaps.

The song sequencing on Skylarking was a point of contention between Rundgren and Partridge, IIRC. But it was a masterful job. I can’t imagine the songs in a different order.

Andy’s is freaking lib. One of the reasons I stopped listening to XTC. SkyLarking? I stopped listening to them around No Thugs in Our House which was Andy Patridge singing about the poor persecuted Pakistani muslims in the UK circa early 1990s (?). Thanks but no thanks Andy.

Another Labour Party stooge like Paul Weller (Jam), annoying Damon Albarn (Blur), Jerry Dammers (The Specials). Weller is so down with the struggle and workers that the multi millionaire screwed over his Jam bandmates.

Utopia had a funny Beatles aka Rutles take off album. A lot of talent but nothing ever really came together.
