[plug] apt-get regex

I wish to install some packages with a regex. The command I want to run 
is 'apt-get install xmms*' but I have a few broken packages and 
confilcts when I do that. Instead of writing out all the packages I want 
(about 30) is there a way to say 'apt-get install xmms* exclude 
xmms-alarm-bmp1 xmms-arts xmms-xmmplater xmmsarts'?
I know that it is probably just a modification of the regex but not sure 
how to do it.
Thanks
Tim
