 Topic: "X" Bands?
Posted: October 04 2010 at 16:35 |
I realized one day how many of these band there are. Who's your favorite?
I went with Symphony X, with Planet X and King's X close behind.

Racer X
X Japan
if you like hard-rock.
I would have voted for one of them if they were in th list.
Anyway, I chose Brand X. King's X would be my second choice, Planet X tend to repeat themselves, the same formula since Virgil Donati's 'Serious Young Insects'

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I went for "some other X", because "Art of Life" by X Japan is one of my all time favorite prog-metal epics!

King's X wins on the strength of "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska" alone.
Surpised no one mentioned X Japan though.

King's X tops my list. I can't wait for their new DVD due out in November. It is about time they put out an "official" DVD.

I'll second digdug's recommendation. Moroccan Roll (particularly Disco Suicide ) is one of my favorites, period.

When the going gets weird, I get interested....
