The Knitters(w/Dave Alvin of The Blasters), all the way. Best f*cking album in the world. Check out "The Decline of the Western Civilization", or "The Unheard Music" films for some great early footage of X.

I'd just like to point out to those that have forgotten or didn't know: X was the brain child of Billy Zoom, he formed it with his friend John Doe, they added DJ Bonebreak 'cause Billy liked his using a Parade Snare, and Excene was John's Girlfriend (they liked her writing & came to like how she sang with John).

In Decline..., when they're at John & Excene's place & Billy's sitting on the couch, the band had just finished 2 sets at the Whiskey, it was after 5 in the morning, and that couch was Billy's "bedroom." He had to wait for filming to finish before getting to bed!
