  1. Nonsuch

    Nonsuch is the twelfth studio album by the English band XTC, released on 27 April 1992. In a 1992 MTV interview, Andy Partridge said that he had selected the name of the album after encountering a drawing of Nonsuch Palace and, thinking that the archaic word "Nonsuch" meant "does not exist" rather than, as he later learned, "unique". The album title may have derived from a couplet in the lyrics of the final song of Oranges and Lemons "Chalkhills and Children": I'm skating over thin ice while some nonesuch net holds me aloft The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. "The Disappointed" was nominated for an Ivor Novello award. The album reached No. 1 on the Rolling Stone College album chart and No. 97 on the Billboard album chart in the U.S. It was the band's second consecutive Top 30 success on the UK album chart. The album produced three singles: "The Disappointed", "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" and "Wrapped In Grey". Two promotional videos were made. A UK-only video for "The Disappointed" and "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead," which received much airplay on MTV that summer.
