5.0 out of 5 stars 2 of the best albums of the century, January 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Los Angeles/Wild Gift (Audio CD)

It's hard to understand the greatness of X if you've only heard a little bit of their music. At the first few spins of this album, you fing it to be a simple garage rock band. But, that's part of what made them so famous. Their Chuck Berry licks, the working class poetry, it's almost folk music. But no, it's rock at it's best. The kind of music that fills you with passion because it was made with passion. Required music for any punk, poet, rock n roll fan.

This disc has two amazing punk albums for less than the individual discs cost, and the sound isn't compressed like on the "remastered" versions, which I'd bought before this version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, November 12, 1998

Los Angeles is one of the few albums I listen to @ 30 that I listened to @ 14. I bought this CD when my 2nd cassette copy of Los Angeles wore out.
