My favorite band of all-time, and a band that has been very influential on many others but is chronically under-rated: X. Exene, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake. Legends from LA. Formed by Exene and Doe, two punk poets/artists, and drawing on rockabilly, folk, country, and jazz and then fueled by the early punk rock of the Ramones and the Clash they were unforgettable. They recorded their best albums from 1978-1981. “Wild Gift” is the best of the lot but they are all good. “Los Angeles” from their debut album is the gtreatest punk rock song of all time...a gritty slice of life in the LA punk underground of the late 1970’s. Check them out. They do not sound dated because they never sounded like anything at the time, anyway. Love X!!!

I like it too. My 16 year old son prefers the original.

This quirky little band out of Baltimore could have been bigger than Steely Dan.

I’ve never heard Sad Café before, nice, polished and chill. Reminds me a bit of Steely Dan.

I also like: The Refreshments - a band from Sweden and The Tractors with Boogie-woogie Choo Choo Train.

Their ‘leader’ John Palumbo wrote some really great tunes, but they always seemed to implode right when they were on the verge of greatness. They still gig.

I am a big fan of progressive rock/metal...so I’d have to add Porcupine Tree.
