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. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

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' ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Can't say I know all of them, but X-Legged Sally of what I do know.

I went for "some other X", because "Art of Life" by X Japan is one of my all time favorite prog-metal epics! ------------- If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud! |

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. ------------- Upon us all, a little rain must fall |

Brand X for me ------------- Prog On! |

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.... |

Also, though not prog, the ultimate X band would be. I'm not really familiar with their stuff, but you have to give them cred for simply being named X.

Brand X for the simple reason that Phil doesn't do any singing or lyric writing.

It is my sad duty to inform you that Phil sang on Product. I don't want to make waves or anything in the streets of Soho. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I stand corrected. He also sang on Moroccan Roll as well. I might have to take my vote back. |

Oh no, I'd forgotten about that one.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
