Rhythm Nation here. I have to admit, I don’t remember King’s X.

That seems to be a common refrain. people are either huge fans, or have them mixed up with other bands from the era.

I'm genuinely curious to hear why you'd vote that way. Not a whole lotta King's X fans out there!

No there isn’t is there? Lol…i love Janet but her music is just mainstream to me? Kings X has a tonal quality that resonates with me, absolutely love the harmonies …I’m a singer and when my vocal chords are rusty I can sing along and whip them back into shape real quick…I love their lyrics…”who can restrain Pleiades”? Their music makes me ponder things… don’t know even what genre to put them into, they are in a class by themselves…I guess I love their lyrics, because I also hear…Music music, I hear music, music over my head!!! 🤩

Gretchen goes to Nebraska and Faith Hope Love are my 2 favorite albums…but love them all…I’ve turned on a few musicians to their music and they thanked me for it…I also am a HUGE Rush fan…again…nobody like them!!! The road less traveled? So to speak? 🤣 And if anyone is reading this and don’t know about The Stone Roses…give them a listen…another obscure band worth a listen ❤️😘🤘🤘

Jackson released a classic hit album for sure, with the added advantage of a celebrity family that King’s X couldn’t compete with. It’s a shame that so many bands don’t make it big because of self-righteous religious gatekeepers. That’s why God sends us artists like Chappell Roan and Brandi Carlile. The joke is on them.
