I feckin loved this episode

Andy Tuttle

Oh, and I feel like such a dork, but the reason I found out about X was because they released a few of their tracks on Rock Band, with Los Angeles and another song, I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts, being my two favorite.

Andy Tuttle

Los Angeles is a great album, amazing even! As far as West Coast punk, I would say that Descendents are the group that kind of built the sound of the region. Their pop-punk was the blueprint that bands like NOFX and Green Day riffed on.

Mega64 reviewing X?! Never thought I’d see the day :’)

Charlie Leigh

Listening along, love this show guys.

Paul LoBue

This one was decent but not my favorite. I love punk but I like when it sounds more like shit lol. I also don’t love the rockabilly sound too much so that also might have turned me off a little from it. Still happy to check it out though. 2.5/5 and Sex and Dying in High Society was my favorite track. And yeah California Love is good

Margo

Definitely got exposed to X on Tony hawks underground 2!

This album and Wild Gift are definitely X's best work. I think I'd give 4/5 or maybe even 5/5 but that's as a big punk listener. I have an original pressing (a piece of vinyl) which sounds amazing and you can get for like 40-50 bucks.

I'm also a huge sucker for female vocalists 😄 Whenever Exene wasn't singing I wasn't really interested. I'd give it 2.5 pieces of vinyl, boosted a bit because of the influence. I adore hardcore punk, post-punk, pop punk, electropunk etc. etc. but for whatever reason the origins of punk like X, Ramones, Sex Pistols, I've never been super into.
