I think that this band is excellent, great skilled musicians, good vocals, I think they are a bit underappreciated.

Any opinions regarding King's X are more than welcome here.

Continue to be amazed that they are not listed here. They certainly should qualify as prog-related at the very least, if not outright prog.

Let's not make this discussion an issue why aren't King's X listed on PA, do they belong here or not; let's discuss what we like or eventually don't like about them.

I thought any opinions would be welcome.

Anyway, I haven't been following them for some time, but they were certainly a favorite band of mine when I was in my teens in the 90s. Their s/t album with "Black Flag" and "Lost in Germany" was a good one, of course albums like Gretchen and Faith, Hope, Love are classics...certainly a very good band, but over time I've sort of lost interest somewhat.

I really like them. When I travel we often play XM radio channel 40 - the Boneyard (it mostly plays hair metal, but also alot of Rush) and I heard Kings X for the first time. I thought they were great - kind of a King Crimson meets Grunge.

I have attached a link to a previous thread suggesting King's X for inclusion. Included within this thread is another link to another thread which suggested King's X. I think that these other threads might give you further insight in to what some others think of this excellent band.

Thanks Scott. Looks like they are in the queue and it's only a matter of time, good news.
