Planet X is great music.  Instrumental heavy jazz with rock motifs.  The Jelly Jam is also worthy of your attention.  Anything Ty does is really nice.  His solo albums are phenomenal.  Jerry has two good solo albums and Dug is all over the place in his projects.  They keep busy.

You should listen to Platypus, it's Ty Tabor with Derek Sherinian, Rod Morgenstein and John Myung.

Er, okay? Planet X and King's X are poles apart. Are we going to compare Pink Floyd and Return to Forever next?

They don't need to be that.
Also they came 10 years before Planet X (or so). 

Excellent band all around, a ton of great songs.

Whoever missed King's X in recent years should have checked The Jelly Jam, KXM, Dug Pinnick solo, Ty Tabor solo, that's what i know, I'm sure there's more.

I realize art is totally subjective and we all have views that may offend others.  I was too emotional at the time of that post.  I don't really dislike pop bands, I just find them to be irrelevant to my life.  Others may worship them like they are gods. To each his own.

A good band ! I've got a best-of of King's X and a CD by Ty Tabor.
But I don't think they are one of the best bands in the hard-rock/heavy-metal history (only one album is mentioned in the anthologies of this style of music).

I've sampled some of KXM but it didn't really grab me. I'll give them another go. 

I definitely more of a fan of Ty's other projects and solo stuff than Dug's.

KXM didn't grab me with their first one. But then I sampled some songs from the second that were much closer to the King's X sound. George's solos are his best since his Dokken heyday.

I am a fan. I have seen them a few times --- foe Out of the Silent Planet, Gretchen. And Tapehead. Liked their last two albums, which had harder sound to them. Looking forward to the new album. Doubt they will be playing anywhere close to where I live, but would like to see them live. Impressive that Dug is still going strong at age 71.

When Dogman came out, I thought it would finally be their hour. They got the opening slot on the Scorpions tour that year. Their performance at Woodstock was televised. The new video for "Dogman" was on regular rotation. Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament openly praised them in print, saying their "next album" (which became Dogman) would "be appreciated."

Unfortunately, the seas didn't part for the one of the best bands out there. Ear Candy came out and that's another killer album, but the buzz around it wasn't as strong.

Btw, do you like KXM (dUg Pinnick, George Lynch, Ray Luzier)? Three albums. They've got some killer songs!

POP bands tend to suck.  I like Gentle Giant.  Nuff said.
Well you're entitled to your opinion but two of those bands you have mentioned are generally regarded as amongst the greatest of all time and the other one is Kings X, who every few people have heard of.

I love Kings X as well and have for a while but I love the Beatles too so don’t be calling them lame.

The Stones were ok but never a favorite but once again no need to degrade other artists while bringing attention to one you love

I've never owned any of their albums but I saw them in concert once and they were great.
