While I've always enjoyed King's X's music they were never one of my favorite bands. But they have always had my respect. They really changed my opinion of what it meant to be a Christian musician. Yes they rocked and looked like characters from Shadowrun, but there was something maybe even more important. I liked them long before I knew they were Christian. I first really became aware of them on the Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack, not at youth group. They never seemed concerned with labels, or what section of the record store you'd be able to find them in, or if the Christian bookstores would even carry them. They didn't let any of that change their message or their art. A message perhaps all of us could use no matter what we create.
And if you've never heard Dogman you're truly missing out on one of the all-time great hard rock songs.
