X: Los Angeles (1980) This burning X motif, which came to symbolize the LA post-punk legends, was shot by photographer and sometime actor Frank Gargani, who had a long artistic association with the group. Produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors, this acclaimed album paints a bleak portrait of X's home city. Gargani's cover mirrored the album's ominous tone. -- JH
