X marks the spot in #music #AprilA2Z
I interrupt the regular program to bring you this special announcement…. I preëmpt all routine posts to bring you my contributions to this month’s largest blogging event. Don’t worry, normal posting will resume next month like clock work (I hope). Meanwhile, I invite you to stick around to enjoy the #AprilA2Z with X marks the spot in #music!
There are few songs and fewer still artists that begin with the letter “X”. I could have bombarded you with some of my favorite Xmas songs, but then you just hate me for that. So, instead I’m featuring two new-to-me X-bands that I found (Bands Beginning with “X”) this morning.
The first group perked my interest with their 70s band sound, if you like that sort of music then give a listen to the rock band, Xguru!
The next x act to follow is a female R&B quartet from the Atlanta, Georgia area that had 6 Top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list during the ’90s. Let’s give it up for, Xscape!
Songs that start with “X” aren’t many, either. I did stumbled upon a few familiar artists, but only one song I liked enough to share. I give you Debbie Harry performing the 1976 song cut, X Offender!
What “X” song title or groups can you share with us today?
Follow me while I visit some eXtra-special bloggers taking part in this eXtraordinary A2Z challenge!

Su-sieee! Mac
Ha, xguru does sound like the 70s. Xscape reminds of gal groups from the late 70s/early 80s, too. Interesting how style come back. Must be the grandparents’ influence. lol

Although this group’s name doesn’t begin with “X”, it does in a way:
“Add N to (X).”
In mathematical notation, that is (X)+N.
I heard this group on my college radio station, with their song “Brothel Charge.”

I haven’t heard of this group, but I will check them out, Noah! Thanks for the suggestion. I love learning about new artists and songs!

It was XTC for me, in 1979. Here they are ‘Making Plans for Nigel’. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gXNhL4J_S00

I had not heard of XTC until I began researching “X” bands. Thanks for the link, I checked out their song, but it just doesn’t ring a bell with me. Another blogger pal used XTC for this prompt and her song choice was new-to-me, as well. I will definitely listen to more of their tunes. I think they have a good sound about them!

I think they’re very much a product of their time. But hey, late 70s and early 80s were my formative years so I like them!

Oh “Making Plans for Nigel” is a great song 🙂
