I don't know about anyone else, but my musical listening habits tend to be cyclic. I listen to a wee group of bands for ages, then want to listed to something different, and move on. Eventually I go full circle and end up back at the bands I've not listed to for ages (sometimes years). And so it is that I'm currently on a King's X trip.
I first came across them when they supported Anthrax at the Barrowland in Glasgow, and my ex bought me Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, after seeing how blown away I was by them. By the mid 90's my taste had shifted slightly (not always in a good way*), and King's x went on the back burner. I recently downloaded XV, and was totally blown away. From the opener Pray, all the way through, this is a superb album. I've been going back and listening to the back catalogue again, and plugging the gaps in the collection (fortunately just a couple of studio albums.
If you like your rock music with a proggy (but not too proggy) edge, check them out if you haven't already. They can rock out when they want to, Moanjam from Faith, Hope, Love is a case in point.
Click here and listen to Pray from the album XV. Superb stuff.
