A 'get someone into Fugazi' compilation?

iShotTheDeputy [Edit] [Delete] 30 replies 13:26, 29 December '05

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...

      iShotTheDeputy @mug_mug_mug | 29 Dec '05, 14:07 | X
  • Ooh

    Can I have a copy when your done?

    smilingcrazylady | 29 Dec '05, 14:15 | X
    • Bed for the Scraping's

      on Red Medicine, though...

      iShotTheDeputy @soup100 | 29 Dec '05, 14:30 | X
      • Err

        Okay, SCL.

        mug_mug_mug, I just stuck those on my MP3 and they are sounding good.

        iShotTheDeputy @smilingcrazylady | 29 Dec '05, 14:31 | X
        • 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...

          only_shallow @soup100 | 29 Dec '05, 16:14 | X
        • good stuff

          :D

          I second the Bed For the Scraping love. One of the best.

          mug_mug_mug @iShotTheDeputy | 29 Dec '05, 16:11 | X
          • 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

        zombie_crew_1985 | 29 Dec '05, 17:19 | X
        • is it wrong...

          that i only really like the argument and repeater?

          -Mark- @zombie_crew_1985 | 29 Dec '05, 19:29 | X
      • Talk to keveddy

        about this - he got me into Fugazi!

        Hannah82 | 29 Dec '05, 19:56 | X
        • I asked him tonight

          and he had no idea.

          iShotTheDeputy @Hannah82 | 30 Dec '05, 01:42 | X
      • I got Repeater for xmas

        It didn't float my boat :(

        Darcy | 29 Dec '05, 22:07 | X
        • Can I

          swap Repeater for Babyshambles??

          smilingcrazylady @Darcy | 30 Dec '05, 00:32 | X
          • Yeah do it

            Darcy clearly doesn't deserve the goodness of that album!

            iShotTheDeputy @smilingcrazylady | 30 Dec '05, 01:42 | X
            • 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.

              marke @iShotTheDeputy | 30 Dec '05, 15:20 | X
              • dang...

                That should have made my list as well...

                tom_from_sparks @marke | 30 Dec '05, 18:32 | X
      • 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.

        keveddy | 30 Dec '05, 15:30 | X
        • blueprint

          and
          epic problem

          would be good for converting people

          soapy | 30 Dec '05, 23:14 | X
          • 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.

            Silver_Rocket @soapy | 31 Dec '05, 00:17 | X
            • i've always found

              that public witness program and bed for the scraping do quite well.

              the_instone @Silver_Rocket | 2 Jan '06, 13:38 | X
        • I made one of these in 2000

          before the Argument. Here it was:

          Latest Disgrace
          Caustic Acrostic
          Last Chance For A Slow Dance
          KYEO

          Side 2
          Waiting Room
          Do you like me?
          Long Division
