King's X proselytiser

O.K. fans, here's a chance to give this band some much deserved exposure in a forum that is well suited to King's X music.
I call upon all believers to spread the message of lovely sounds that do emanate from such apostles of great music that these three be.
I ask no more than to spread the truth of King's X magical sounds.

First, and foremost, for those PA denizens who would know more about how to go about adding MP3s, please do so if possible. It is beyond my technical ability, and also my legal knowledge as to how to proceed. But I believe that a few judiciously chosen songs from the first 4 King's X albums should bring about a new wave of followers, and deservedly much more than the group has enjoyed in the past.
MY challenge - IMO, this is a group worthy of fanboyism (for lack of a better term) that should be displayed for all here at PA who search for new sources of great music.

debrewguy, I was downright giddy when I saw that King's X had finally been added to the archives. Their music is an almost perfect mixture of musicianship, melody, and soul, not mention out-of-this-world guitar tones. I have been a fan since the 80's, going back to the days when I used to see them and the Awful Truth playing around town here in Houston, TX. Props to the PA admin team for adding them!  

Very welcome addition.  If it were up to me they'd be in heavy prog.  But it's not up to me.

I can see it from the other side as well, my opinion is they have enough (at least for this site) for being prog, but prog-related is also fine with me.  Like you I think I'm just glad that they're included on PA in some form.

As it stands, Prog-Related is perfectly fine. They are here, and that's what counts. Now let's see if Galactic Cowboys and Atomic Opera can get added too. Heck, add The Awful Truth (pre-Galactic Cowboys) as well.

I'm also glad to see they've been added, the first 3 albums in particular were killers! They went off the boil a bit mid career but have returned to form with their latest 2 albums.
