X - Los Angeles (Slash, 1980)Their raucous power denoted punk rock, but it was the raw, slightly off key harmonies, rhythmic asymmetry and anecdotal notebook poetry that made this quartet's music so special. Arty, but never pretentious, X took on their hometown's decadence and spun it into something far more appealing. This debut is where the band show off their power. Nine songs are on this album (including a cover of the Door's Soul Kitchen, whose keyboardist Ray Manzarek produced this) in under thirty minutes. This album has nothing to do with the hardcore movement that was brewing in L.A. at the time, it's far too emotionally advanced for that.
