surprised whiney has never heard fugazi before

― flopson, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 23:13 (fourteen years ago)

Big Minor Threat fan, barely know Fugazi; love "Doo Wop," Fugees were okay; Fugs were fantastic, so an easy vote for them. You forgot the Fugwumps and the Fuggles.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 23:21 (fourteen years ago)

I'm from Washington D.C.. Guess who I voted for?

I used to work across the street from Whitlow's Restaurant (at their old 11th St. location), and thought it was mad cool when the window view from my office showed up on a Fugazi album cover.

― Lee626, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 23:28 (fourteen years ago)

FUGAZI FFS!! surprised this isn't unanimous.

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 07:41 (fourteen years ago)

The Fugs, massively. Although The Fugees using 'Boudicea' by Enya for 'Ready Or Not' = awesomeness. Never been into Fugazi beyong the classic pop hits.

― Feelin' Like A Ghost / No Swayze (Craigo Boingo), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 07:52 (fourteen years ago)

Fugs easy. Fugees not bad tho. Never heard Fugazi!

― Tom D (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:31 (fourteen years ago)

that's what the youtube is there for

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:32 (fourteen years ago)

Not interested in them, they sound shite

― Tom D (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:32 (fourteen years ago)

they were great

idk what do you think fugazi sound like, tabula rasa?

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:34 (fourteen years ago)

This article is about the 1970s Finnish rock band, for the latin term, see tabula rasa

eugh

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:35 (fourteen years ago)

Not interested in them, they sound shite

I know this is silly of me to think but Fugazi is one of these groups that I expect everyone to like.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:36 (fourteen years ago)

I don't know, sort of grim, earnest, scowling rock music?

― Tom D (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:38 (fourteen years ago)

yeah same as nathalie

they weren't grim, anyway

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:40 (fourteen years ago)

No way am I being tricked into voting for a Marillion album.

Don't wanna come over all lex here but that strikes me as a deeply bizarre statement!

― Tom D (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:43 (fourteen years ago)

not really, if you read expect as anticipate rather than demand

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:44 (fourteen years ago)

they certainly not just 'the sort of band THOSE sort of people listen to'

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:45 (fourteen years ago)

^ are

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:45 (fourteen years ago)

or were, alas ;_;

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:45 (fourteen years ago)

Most disappointing thing about Fugazi having gone on permanent hiatus is that Guy, maybe my favorite member of the group, is the only one who isn't doing anything.

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:48 (fourteen years ago)

To be honest though, there's a lot of American rock music that's just totally passed me by over the years

― Tom D (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:48 (fourteen years ago)

they never made anything as good as 'neu 75', 'live 77' or 'loveless' but they still had some great rock music way back when

― kid 606: the nultness (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:50 (fourteen years ago)

Any Fugazi album besides Repeater and Steady Diet > all the titles you just mentioned.

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 10:52 (fourteen years ago)

that is the hadaka no rallizes lp, fwiw

― 69, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 18:17 (fourteen years ago)

I love fugazi/minor threat but i love the fugs too and they're getting my vote

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 18:20 (fourteen years ago)

i love minor threat something fierce, but i dont know about fugazi. i think i got to DC too late to really "get" what was so special about them.

yeah ditto. most my friends - absolutely know-nothings about music - dig these guys bunches. it's like punk rock for art students. or music journalists.

well, he did a lot of stuff with Vic Chesnutt up until his death and produced a few notable albums for other bands (Blonde Redhead, Blood Brothers). but yeah, he has been relatively inactive musically. when a band goes on hiatus like that and one of the main people is doing very little new music, i kinda assume that's the guy who wasn't interested in continuing the band.

― some dude, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 19:17 (fourteen years ago)

he also produced a hit record! woah...i wonder if lex likes this?

m@tt yeah i like "standing in the way of control"!

(just that one song i guess, not really the album)

― lex pretend, Thursday, 31 March 2011 01:20 (fourteen years ago)

Don't wanna come over all lex here but that strikes me as a deeply bizarre statement!

It's when I love a thing so much, my rational thinking (?) flies out of the window. I have this with Shuggie Otis and Joni M as well: I kind of expect EVERYONE SINGLE LIVING BEING to adore the music. Deep down I know it's silly but I can't help but think that way.

Fugazi strikes me as band that you can approach/love from all different angles.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Thursday, 31 March 2011 13:45 (fourteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 23:01 (fourteen years ago)

"CIA Man" is funnier than any Fugazi track so that's how i rolled.

fugazi were 'always gonna' win this

expected a better showing for the fugees

― The Geirogeirgegege (nakhchivan), Friday, 8 April 2011 17:03 (fourteen years ago)

ten years pass...

But did Fugazi ever write anything as good as...

I'd put it in the toilet and I'd shit all the time!"

Fugs are definitely in that "I like the idea of the band more than I like the band" zone for me

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 15:12 (four years ago)

The ugly old guys lusting after teenage girls side of their songwriting is pretty hard to listen to these days, to be sure.

― Des Weerelds Dool-om-berg ont-doold op Dool-in-bergh (Tom D.), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 15:16 (four years ago)
