They're nothing alike.
XTC are post-punk Kinks
They were better when they went full fetish on the 1960s
Devo were technically terrible and i like them also because of this, unluckyly i can't find anything that resembles them.
XTC are way better technically for sure
Devo only had one good album
XTC NEVER put out a bad album!

not true, Mothersbaugh and Casale had musical training as kids. I believe Mothersbaugh began to play piano around age 6.
Yo how do I get into XTC?

Devo is just Talking Heads-lite

Has some great songwriting but the production hasn't really aged well at all. Sounds really cheesy at times.

I always imagine an American football

nice, you're in for a treat, the first half is a masterpiece but the second half slows down a bit, overall a really amazing psych pop album. it's only as cheesy as the kinks and zombies, if you're into 60s psych pop you will enjoy skylarking.

Black Sea > Skylarking > Chips From The Chocolate Fireball > English Settlement > Drums & Wires > Apple Venus Vol. 1 > Oranges & Lemons > Nonsuch > Mummer > The Big Express > White Music > Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol. 2) > Go 2
I'm glad XTC are slowly becoming /mu/core
Is this (proto-)Chillwave?
