XTC's "Grass" is a low point on the album, although it's not a terrible song. God, Virgin were the fucking worst for picking singles for XTC, weren't they?
I choose the Meter's "Grass" (bonus track on second album Look-ka Py Py)

Listen to Animal Collective's "Grass."
Now listen to T. Rex's "She Was Born to Be My Unicorn."
thank you.

can't stand Colin's voice on theirs, AC's is one of the best things they ever did

XTC, though in the right state of mind I could agree with Feels > Skylarking.

There is literally no instance ever where Animal Collective is better than XTC.

Animal Collective no contest for me. XTC's Grass is one of the best songs on Skylarking but I don't know... it sounds very fey to me and I hate the song because it has the effect of reminding me of a certain 90's sound I don't think kindly of like Smashmoth and Barenaked Ladies. I know it doesn't sound anything like them but it gives me the same vibe... like trying way too hard to sound chill. Yeah I know I'm saying stupid shit but it's what it sounds like to me.

otm. i like the melody but colin's voice just sounds awful to me
― flappy bird, Thursday, 8 December 2016 06:13 (seven years ago) link
I think the key is wrong for Colin's voice. It's quite low and Colin sounds very flat (dynamically, not tonally). The full harmony sections at the end are great though
