favorite post rites of spring dischord band
vote
fugazi is not included because then it would be too easy. |
circus lupus by a hair.
and that would be my final answer even if fugazi were included. |

yeah i knew you wouldn't pick fugazi, but a lot of other people would cheat and pick them. who did circus lupus beat by a hair? |
I wouldn't pick fugazi at all; they'd be the last band I picked probably.
Q and Not U if only for no kill no beep beep... El Guapo if only for Fake French... Warmers for having some of the best drumming I've ever heard... National of Ulysseus for occassionally having an awesome song... or perhaps Jawbox for rocking out weirdly at times........ But I picked Faraquet. Because they're great. |
ulysses
|
I like Jawbox

jawbox. |

i love both bands but excuse me but FUGAZI > Faraquet can you elaborate on the Fugazi hate?:eek: |
Quote:
why? too easy for them to come last in the poll???????????? nation of ulysees... for me anyway! |
I don't hate Fugazi.
I just think "Argument" is the only really GREAT album they've done. They're usually just kind of boring, I never bother listening to them. Not a bad band by any means.. but almost every band you listed -- hell, maybe every band you listed -- is better. |
nation of ulysses
though i would have picked Fugazi if they were on the list heh |

well i knew they would come i first. everyone loves fugazi except for like 3 people on this board and nofx fans. |
Nation of Ulysses.
What about Black Eyes? One Last Wish? One Last Wish are one of my favourite 'emo' bands (there are a lot of favourites, though...), and Black Eyes just plain KILLLLLL. |
Quote:
one last wish wasn't really a dischord band. they only played a handful of shows until they broke up and dischord didn't release their album until 1998 or 99. they are fucking amazing though. also, that's why i put the others choice up. |
post 80s dischord has been subpar. not the label's fault though i suppose, just the dc scene in general has been over-cluttered with second rate post-hardcore bands. q and not u were onto something special with no kill no beep beep, then..... nothing. i just think dc needs to step up a bit, we dont need anymore dynamic riff rock based post hardcore bands.

i think some of dischord's new releases of the past few years are stellar. both evens records are amazing. soccer team had a good record. joe lally's records were both great. none of those are riff rock based. i love some of the 90's stuff on dischord like NOU, slant 6, the make-up, the warmers, hoover and jawbox. i can see where you are coming from though. |
Well... Fugazi. Then Q And Not U. Then Nation of Ulysses. I dig The Evens too.
|
black eyes and hoover are good bands, nothing to get excited about though.
|
i thought the evens, joe lally solo, and soccer team are all terrible. just me. black eyes is pretty good though. and yea, some of the 90s stuff was pretty good, but cmon, the faith, void, minor threat, government issue, rites of spring, youth brigade etc.. or nou, make up, jawbox, faraquet, etc..? there isnt even a comparison between the quality of music between the two decades.
|
Quote:
yeah but you can't really compare the two decades since all the members of those bands got older and started non straight foward punk bands. but yeah you got a point. i just think of it as a new era for dischord because it's impossible to compare any of the great early harDCore bands with some of the great 90's bands (the only 4 for me that can compare with the hardcore bands are fugazi, nou, the make-up and slant 6). i also hate how people compare fugazi (and the evens) with the members past bands. not everyone wants to make straight foward hardcore for their whole lives. i bet if fugazi sounded like rites of spring or minor threat part two it would be horrible. also, can you imagine ian mackaye fronting minor threat at 46? |
i love fugazi. im with you there.
|
i don't get the same feeling, but to put you an example; when i listen to the bad seeds i feel like something terribly big is lacking and makes me want to listen to the birthday party really bad. same with iggy, it just makes me want to listen to the stooges.
it's not a way to compare, it's because of the quality of the material mostly. fugazi don't really make me run and reach for complete discography or end on end, but i don't really like listening to them a lot, whether i could listen to rites and minor threat for hours on end. i do agree that it would suck if fugazi was half the songs like second rate minor threat and the other half like second rate rites, that they shouldn't play straight hardcore for the rest of their lives and that minor threat shouldn't have stayed together. i shudder at the thought of a minor threat reunion, they could have pull it off well about ten years ago but not now, i'm afraid. |
NoU, Make-Up, One Last Wish, Black Eyes, Rites of Spring, El Guapo, Happy Go Licky, Q and Not U, Bluetip...
|
Quote:
yeah i don't think they would ever have a reunion. ian doesn't seem much into reunions. even though i can see fugazi maybe playing a show together again. but i guess that's why they said they didn't officially break up so they can do that without it being a reunion. |
Quote:
i'm gonna respectfully disagree with you about Hoover, they are up there with Nation of Ulysses, Fugazi and Rites of Spring for me. I absolutely love them, although I didn't know they were on Dischord...pretty cool. |
yeh. I shamefully forgot to add Hoover to my list.
|
Quote:
Then you probably shouldn't have included Nation of Ulysses either! |
Quote:
yeah i didn't know they were that popular here. |
Yes, the Ulysses appreciation seems sudden. Seems like everyone kept quite about them on here until a year ago, now they're one of Sonic Gossips most mentioned bands.
|
The Make-Up are the only band listed I could listen to.
|
nation of ulysses, more style than substance.
to use a word i hate, they are overrated. |
Quote:
|
true, the only one i think comes close is circus lupus for me.
jawbox too, although i do have to say there's some deal of myself in trying to like it. still enjoyable to me. |
Jawbox is one of the only Dischord bands I could say I have absolutely no time for.
|
most dischord bands are just boring. Ulysses is overrated as hell. Good lyrics though...
Like I said, Faraquet is easily the best band on that poll... they're probably the only one that gets my balls excited anymore. |
uh-oh. the tides are changing. A wave of Dischord hate is on its way.
|
i bet the next five posts will be how much dishcord sucks.
|
lots of things are boring and uninteresting -- that doesn't mean they SUCK.
For examples, the Mars Volta? They SUCK. Autoclave and Bluetip? Good bands, just you know.. nothing I'd ever want to listen to. |
i was hoping somone would vote for autoclave.
