5. Do You Like Me (Red Medicine, 1995)
“Not my favorite but this song is amazing, it has a beautiful meaning to it. Don’t hold back your feelings and noughts.”
4. Cashout (The Argument, 2001)
“Truly a touching and beautiful song about dying loved masked with drugs and alcohol. If you haven’t heard it before, do it now.”
3. Turnover (Repeater, 1990)
“Turnover,” a prime example of the kind of tight-loose push-pull thing these guys are so good at: Brendan Canty feathers his high-hat and brings bassist Joe Lally with him to groove along to the guitar work. It is that tight looseness that Fugazi may well have a patent on, and before you know it Ian MacKaye’s guitar explodes and Guy Picciotto is rocking the mic.”
2. Repeater (Repeater, 1990)
“It’s loud, fast, angry and rebellious but manages to be intelligent with it at the same time. It also manages to bring more to the table than the usual three chords with some stunning bass work taking the forefront. It’s punk done well, and so much more.”
1. Waiting Room (13 Songs, 1989)
“I would venture to say that many copies of this album are purchased solely on the strength of the opening track: “Waiting Room”. The unmistakable bass line that opens this song has made it a punk rock mix-tape favorite for years.”
