I've barely heard anything by Fugazi. I know they were in with all the older punk bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon. I heard repeater, suggestion, and turkish disco; all of which I liked. I LOVE the bassist, and the guitarist is insane as well. I'd like to get into them more, but I really don't have the money to get an album.

i just won this in a bid!

I love In On The Kill Taker so much, especially Smallpox Champion. The best part is when everyone stops except for Brendan on drums then they all kick back in. It's kind of chilling how the song is about the wiping out of Native Americans, but it could be applied to today.

The Argument is my second-favorite.

Yeah, the "breakdown" sort of thing that some Fugazi songs have I think came from Guy's Gang of Four influence which is pretty obvious on a few Rites of Spring songs like "End on End" where it strips down to the bass and everything comes back in.

Embrace??? surely not...?
 

Shurely shome mishtake??? you can't possibly mean the same Embrace that are behind the current Official England World Cup Song? If so, I thought i was the only guy from west Yorkshire into Fugazi

EDIT: I meant to reply to the previous post, this new-look message board freaks me out!

The Argument is probably my favorite. I went to see Ian sepak at Franklin and Marshall back in March and it was really great. The Instrument is one of the best music related things on DVD out there and I highly recommnd it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Just yesterday I wached a DVD from one of their shows in 1988 that was pretty rad.

I don't see why people can't seem to give it up for Embrace. I think that's a really great record. I still need to hear Faith.

I don't know. I really feel Rites of Spring beats them in every way.

Red Medicine is their best. Greatest band ever, next to sonic youth (IMO). They can do no wrong, never have and never will. The only tihng fugazi can do that is wrong is not getting back together. Guy is better than Ian, however Embrace was pretty damn good. I like the song "Money", i tihnk its very honest and true.

these guys are the shit. so many good albums to choose from. i like arguement, in on the kill taker, and repeater. but all are good.

The first time I saw them when Ian started the first few notes of Long Division I yelled "Yeahhh!" and he looked down at me and nodded his head to me as if to say, "Oh yes." I need that shit.....NOW!!!

I've got 13 songs and the Instrument both are great pieces of work, the bassist Joe Lally is also amazing... Ian has creative strength beyond words.. I can't say I've heard his new band tho..

i've got 13 Songs, The Argument, and a 3-song EP that i can't recall the name of. i borrowed Repeater from my brother a while back and loved it, but had to give it back (it was eventually stolen). they're a great band. the rhythm section is one of the most amazing in rock music. The Argument is a perfect summer album.

my name is Brendan.

I like End Hits alot, but I tend to be alone on that one.

End Hits is sweet-- especially Break, Five Corporations, and Caustic Acrostic.

Anyone got any of the Fugazi Live Series CDs?

http://www.fugaziliveseries.com/

I have two (the most recent London one, and another that I can't remember), and they're excellent.

...yeah fugazi!...I think I have all the cds...I guess fav would be in on the killtaker just because it was the first one I got...it's all good...

...everyone should own a copy of this...I never get tired of watching this one...

...I haven't got any of the live series, but there was some killer shows out on archive.org...

instrument soundtrack: best album in my opinion

sonicl, I have 4 or 5 of the live series.....I love them.
