I don't know if Phish Food was pre-Unilever. If not, I'll have Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
It was for sure.
Anyone else for Rainforest Crunch ? I miss that one the most...

Years ago, when they came out with Cherry Garcia, I decided they should come up with a US flavor, too.... Sundae, Bloody Sundae.

Incidentally, does anything say "Eighties" more than a song from XTC's English Settlement ??

Mandy Moore did a surprisingly good cover of that song on her surprsingly good all-covers album "Coverage." Other 80s songs she covered were Joe Jackson's "Breaking Us In Two" and The Waterboys' "The Whole of the Moon." I wish that album had been a hit, because I would have loved it if she'd done a sequel where she covered Julian Cope's "World Shut Your Mouth."

The only XTC cover I remember is... uh, somebody I don't remember singing "Dear God." Also, I remember my old roomie the year that song was big on college radio loftily informing me that the band was "too mellow." My roomie was a total [bleep], but that was only one amongst several billion reasons why.

According to Wikipedia, Dear God has been covered by Sarah McLachlan, Tricky, and Shootyz Groove. McLachlan's version was on a 1995 XTC tribute album which sounds mildly intriguing (mainly because of McLachlan and Ruben Blades.)

Absolutely, Abin. Thanks to the Decade Divider Door over there, you can do so many things: gain access to the Hall of the Hanna-Barberians, see an ABBA tribute band even better than Bjorn Again, get a makeover set to glam-rock music at Genuinely Glam, enjoy the solitude of the Soft-Rock Sensory Over-Stimulation Tank, or take a heavy-rocking ride in the Aero-Zeppelin. And there's so much more!
