L.A. punk legends X hit on all cylinders and propel themselves into an artistic peak that few bands can sustain over one album much less a number of years. Los Angeles is a landmark album in punk and American rock history.
Generation X's single 'Your Generation' was released in Sept. 1977. That got them on BBC TV's Top of The Pops, and then came 'Wild Youth' and 'Ready Steady Go'. All of which are in this box set based around their self-titled debut album from 1978.
If anything, it's like a psychobilly record without any horror or sci-fi themes to hide behind, and it's that kind of grit that makes it one of the saddest and greatest punk albums of all time.
Goldman and her band fused the sound of dub with the experimental, creating an ethereal and progressive body of work that redefined the scope of post-punk.
