The word is Xmas
Sun 60, “Mary Xmess” from "Only" (1993)
(C’mon, this qualifies - they just made a pun.)This track is such a refreshing blast of #PowerPop - and look who’s here, guitar hero #DaveNavarro from already established #alternative darlings #JanesAddiction, and #RedHotChiliPeppers founding drummer, #JackIrons. So it’s no surprise that It was all over the radio in #Boston, and I recall proudly fishing a promo copy of “Only” out of the bin at one of the used #CD stores I frequented back in the day. (Off your moral high horse - I support artists now by buying, not streaming.) This was #Sun60’s second full-length release, and they’d go on to put out one more, but I challenge you to walk down the street today wherever you are and find one person who recognizes this band by name. This hooky, high energy #guitar rave up should be a classic, not a forgotten track on a forgotten album by a forgotten band.
