i have never given them hero status. I think they are a decent enough band to be considered a "good" band that is worth listening to. And I agree, Argument is better. Instrument was my introduction, and I recommend Instrument to anyone who has never listened to Fugazi before.
I remember hearing that they have only played a few shows at the $5 price...unwillingly. Most of their shows were said to be free-$3. I have no credible sources to back that up though. I read that in a magazine during my 9th grade year. I smoked a lot of regs back then. My memory could be wrong.
