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
