"Dear God" by XTC

XTC was an English band that began cranking out delectable intelligent pop music since their formation in the early 70s. They achieved a hey day in the 80s on college radio, but not quite enough to break onto the American Top 100 in a big way. 

The band's only Top 100 appearance in the US finally arrived in 1989 when "The Mayor Of Simpleton" reached #72. Lightning almost struck twice with the equally excellent "Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead" from 1992, but that single didn't chart.

"Dear God" is a bold and fantastic song from 1987 that was probably too edgy for commercial radio, yet deserved to be broadcast far and wide.
