Okay yeah wow, you hadn't jammed Fugazi so please do cause they rule. I'm so over rock music, but Fugazi forever.

I'll make some projections, I really hate the bluesy thing, but with Fugazi I think I can reach out a lil olive branch.

Saw this band with Daughters (Daughters yo!) right after high school. They were crazy loud and all rockin' live. Can't say much about them since then, tho. Daughters rules, I'm gonna listen to Canada Songs for the first time in like 4 years.

White Denim is sick as all get-out

The Refused were definitely a time-and-place kinda band, right around At The Drive In era when post-punk still meant something. Still sick tho.

Maybe you'll dig Colour Revolt?

Maybe?

Now I'm just off on a tangent.

What am I doing.

In which I utterly refuse to be caged in by the bounds and limits of the reasonable discussion previous to my post in this thread.

Hey so, I used to be the biggest Led Zeppelin acolyte alive, but regardless of the fact that I still know every word to almost every song and will sing them as soon as the opening strains are heard, they really, seriously ripped off so many people without paying credit. Big Star is fucking rad though, and you will find just as many people that cite them as the reason they make music. Plus they didn't ripoff riffs from peers and old blues records and pass it off as original material.

I'm just going to take this opportunity to introduce others to this beautiful thing:

This thread has crashed firefox and chrome, yet safari seems fine. Weird.

Tangent: my grandma bought me a Wu-Tang Clan shirt. Yeah. I don't think she knows what it means...

Fuck, this is epic. My ears got work to do. Thank you.

edit: god damn I love fugazi. Welcome back '90s.

Great post! Refused fucking rips, as does Shellac and many others you linked to.

Big Star is something else. I remember when I found them in my early 20's it was like finding the Rosetta Stone for a lot of the music I listened too. There's little snippets of them in virtually every rock band from the 80's-90's.

The new Shellac is fairly decent. Might be great but I haven't listened to enough to know. Bob Weston has definitely picked up his game on the new album.

They are my favorite live band, sometimes I'll buy tickets to both shows when they come to town.
