What are your favorite King's X songs?

Sign in to disble this ad
With all other such favorite song threads (Tool, Mars Volta) that have been started lately, I thought I'd get one in myself. So what are some of your favorite King's X songs??

Off the top of my head, my favorites include (Thinking and Wondering) What I'm Gonna, Prisoner, Complain, and We Were Born To Be Loved (my main introduction to the band was seeing them open for Dream Theater and Satriani and this is the song that stuck out the most).

HI

Love 'em all. Goldilox, Dogman, Over my head, etc. Im especially liking the moody tunes Ty has sung over the years more and more. There are a couple on the new record that are just awesome.

The obvious "Over My Head", "Summerland" and "Goldilox". But also "Complain", "Fool You", "Everywhere I Go", "Sometimes", "The World Around Me", and "Alright" from their latest album VX.

From a lyrical and melodic perspective, I'd say "Cigarettes".

King's X

This band is so underrated. I have seen them many times and they put on such a great (LOUD) show!

Anything off of Dogman. This is such a fantastic CD.

You know what, I would have to say the first 5 albums are just outstanding. A must if you like Drop D tuning and/or 12 string bass.

This band delivers!

Kinda hard picking favorites, as I love so many. I guess if I had to chose three off the top of my head:

1. Bebop
2. Groove Machine
3. Fall on me

I seen them live a couple of years back, and they were beyond awesome... Highly underrated as others have said.
