I've met more King's X fans since I joined here than I have ever known in my entire life. Good to see that prog fans can like good music which isn't strictly "prog" in the general sense. I think they are one of the greatest bands, especially vocally, ever to record.

Yeah their recordings are great, but I've seen 'em live about 8 or 9 times, and they tear the roof of the muthasucka! And the three part harmonies live are near perfect. Every one of my friends that I have dragged to see them without knowing them has left a fan.

That's the ultimate praise.

SEX PISTOLS!

Mine:

1. Yes & Genesis (Tie, I can't Decide)

          * Can, Neu!, Harmonia and all the krazy krautrockmongers

          * Van der Graaf/ Peter Hammill (two personal recommendations: "Vital Live" and "Nadir's Big Chance": if that isn't prog punk music, then prog punk does not exist... And i think it does)
