Good one Chris

Comrade's takin his time

X is for Xymox.Although they were originally called Clan Of Xymox

X is for XTC

I know nothing about New Order wrote: X is for Xymox.Although they were originally called Clan Of Xymox

Great choice, though I think they make a much better "C" than the Cure, and then you can reserve the X for XTC.

And of course, D is for

Devo.
