What’s your favorite Fugazi album?
Killtaker
>>131979915Facet Squared might be their best opener
>>131979951Instrument, baby
>>13197997510/10 song yes
>>131979893The recent release of the Albini session for In on the Kill Taker. I can never fully get into this band but Albinis production really sold me on that record.
>>131980035I like Albini but lol
>>131980083Shit band anyway
>>131980157I could see a pleb with bad taste thinking that yeah
Fugazi pumped up John and Rick's highschool band (pitchfork) dreams enough, that they formed DLJ
>>131980362Fugazi pumped up every bands dreams, the 90’s would not be the same without them and Pixies
>>131980393I forgot to mention that their highschool band opened for fugazi and Ian told them how much he liked them and that John had a similar style to one of his favorite guitarists, pen rollings, and John was already a fan of Pen, so to be compared to him from Ian got him rock hard I think and motivated him.
>>131980424I bet it did that’s probably thousands of musicians wet dream
>>131979893In On The Killtaker
For me, it’s The Argument.
>>131979893Turnstile is my Fugazi!
>>131981064No way
>>131980328you don't have to talk about yourself that way anon, everyone has guilty pleasures, be proud
>>131979893Unwound betterShellac betterJesus Lizard betterJawbox betterQuicksand betterDrive Like Jehu betterAt the Drive In betterRites of Spring betterEmbrace betterEgg Hunt betterOne Last Wish betterPeople only pretend to like this band for social brownie points
>>131981678You have to be 18 or older to post here>>131981691Aside from RoS obviously those bands all list Fugazi as an influence so I guess by your logic all those groups only started bands for brownie points kek
>>131981062Agreed. It's more sombre but full of a hardened anger towards the world.
>>131982863The composition of the songs is also amazing
All of them except the first 2 eps.
>>131983346You don’t like 13 songs?
>>131981691The only one of these that is true is Jesus Lizard
>>131983371No. Not at all. Hate Waiting Room. Hate Bulldog Front. Etc.
>>131983827'ate waitin room, 'ate bulldog frontluv merchandise, luv blueprint, simple as.
>>131983827I can understand thinking Waiting Room is overrated since it’s the meme song everyone knows even if they don’t listen to Fugazi, but it doesn’t make it a bad song.
All of them
>>131981691>Shellac>good
>>131981062This, easy. Guy is off the rails, his songs are the strongest imho, pick any one, Ian's Ex-Spectator is a defining moment, Lally's The Kill is hot shit that holds the whole thing together. Truly remarkable to dip on your finest work. Best time to listen to this is after hours or early am when it's dark out, snowy or grey autumn day
>>131979893Theyre all the same except the first one and the last one. I've listened to end hits the most.
>>131987076Based>>131987202Red Medicine and End Hits are completely different though lol End Hits has some really good songs but is overall their worst and the only mediocre album they ever put out
>>131981062>>131987076Yes, absolutely. Full Disclosure is my dark horse pick for their finest moment. Something about that melodic break where they start playing Sonic Youth chords is just pure fucking bliss. >>131987850>End Hits has some really good songs but is overall their worst and the only mediocre album they ever put outI used to think it was their weakest but it grew on me. Arpeggiator is probably their best 'experimental' track (there are a handful of those spread throughout their last 3 albums), and No Surprise is also secretly a top-tier Fugazi song and it bothers me that I never see people bring it up.
>>131979893UUHHHHHHH Repeater
>>13197989313 Songs. I'd rather listen to Minor Threat though.
>>131988036No Surprise is one of my favorite Fugazi songs as well, but I’m the opposite of you in that the more I listened to End Hits against their whole discography the less it stood out to me. I still think it’s good I wouldn’t give it less than a 7/10.>>131988088Minor Threat appreciators are welcome
I love Fugazi :)
