A 'get someone into Fugazi' compilation?
I want peoples' suggestions for the best tracks to get someone into them who's not totally sold on the whole post-hardcore scene.
So, just their best in terms of accessibility. So they can have a listen.
I would put
Sweet and Low
Target
Waiting Room
Bad Mouth
Shut the Door
Epic Problem
Back to Base
Long Division
on it
Cheers
The problem is that I love their stuff but I find it very hard to avoid just sticking an album on and then I sort of get into it and forget to listen out for the best stuff.
Like right now I've just stuck on End Hits again and thought WOW but have no idea what tracks were the ones to use...
Ooh
Can I have a copy when your done?
Bed for the Scraping's
on Red Medicine, though...
Err
Okay, SCL.
mug_mug_mug, I just stuck those on my MP3 and they are sounding good.
Tracks off the top of my head would be
The Waiting Room
Five Corporations
Little Debbie
The Kill
Epic Problem
Provisional (13 Songs version not Repeater version)
Repeater
Ex-Spectator
I know I've missed a whole bunch off that list...
good stuff
:D
I second the Bed For the Scraping love. One of the best.
Hmmm...
this will be hard, but awesome.
Fugazi would hate the idea of a best of though!
Waiting Room
Repeater
Smallpox Champion
Blueprint
Epic Problem
Fell Destroyed
23 Beats Off
Shut the Door
The Kill
Promises
Target
Long Distance Runner
Frankly you could throw together 12 random Fugazi songs and it would make a great album.
may have been already metioned but....
dont forget;
return the screw
strangelight
is it wrong...
that i only really like the argument and repeater?
Talk to keveddy
about this - he got me into Fugazi!
I asked him tonight
and he had no idea.
I got Repeater for xmas
It didn't float my boat :(
Can I
swap Repeater for Babyshambles??
Yeah do it
Darcy clearly doesn't deserve the goodness of that album!
furniture
'furniture' wasnt on any of the albums, but it was released as a single alongside the argument
it's really good and also accessible.
dang...
That should have made my list as well...
i made a minor threat/fugazi
intro tape for someone ages ago. i'll se if i can dig out the tracklisting for that.
chrono is the way forward tho.
blueprint
and
epic problem
would be good for converting people
easiest way would be to...
just give them a copy of the argument and 13 songs, probably will fit on the same cd, i know this misses out lots of great songs but lets face it you're going to do that whatever you do. Both albums are very accessible and it's a nice first to last thingy.
i've always found
that public witness program and bed for the scraping do quite well.
I made one of these in 2000
before the Argument. Here it was:
Side 1
Turnover
Reclamation
Facet Squared
Forensic Scene
Promises
Sweet and Low
Break
Merchandise
Latin Roots
Suggestion
Latest Disgrace
Caustic Acrostic
Last Chance For A Slow Dance
KYEO
Side 2
Waiting Room
Do you like me?
Long Division
Smallpox Champion
Greed
Foreman's Dog
Arpeggiator
By You
Repeater
Give Me The Cure
Bad Mouth
Shut the door
Provisional (not reprovisional)
Ah, god bless 90 minute tapes!
