fugazi are boring yet hilarious.

not a total wash of a band but nothing too exciting either.

I have a lot of time for Fugazi, but The Evens I find boring as hell. Mr MacKaye, if ye want to mix politics with damn fine music, check out The Ex (especially live).

D'ya know, I don't think I've ever actually heard a Fugazi record.

youre not missin too much

man, i dont get where the fugazi hatred over the last year has come about. 13 songs, repeater, steady diet of nothing, red medicine, and (especially) the arguement are all post-hardcore awesomeness. i love their hypnotic dub basslines with the hard rock riffs and the punk rock rhtyhyms and beats. 5 dollar shows? cant beat it.

and fuck the evens.

i dunno anyone who dislikes fugazi

every time i listen to fugazi, i itch to play minor threat and/or rites of spring.

same with iggy, i want to listen to the stooges.

same with the bad seeds, makes me want to listen to the birthday party.

i think a lot of their stuff hasn't aged so well, but some of their songs are still pretty awesome

13 songs is one of my favorite albums ever
crass are amazing. i need to hear more, i only have feedong of the 5000

So many punx I miss posting on this thread..

I used to really enjoy Crass once upon a time. I still appreciate them from a poetic angle, and of course there was a lot of creativity going on. I just have little time for politics in my art these days. It's actually been like that for quite a while.

And Fugazi has always bored the living shit out of me. I can appreciate Dischord as a strong example of what an independent label can be, but still. Ian's just too damned preachy. It's a strange thing, turning to music as a means of hearing examples as to how one should think or should feel or live their lives....I've always used it as a tool to achieve the polar opposite. Not that, of course, using music for such things is terrible...just a strange thing I don't much identify with.

Yes.

So anyway, there's a new Crassical Collection out, 7x2CD sets. Each album with lots of extras.

I gave The Feeding Of The 5000 another spin this morning. Fuck, it's brilliant. There's not a boring second on it, imho. I'm very impressed with the variety of Crass. They were much more than a one-trick pony.
