C'mon.

I was looking for Dancing Naked Ladies, but I found this. Please show me a Fugazi show that beats this.

This is a very subjective sort of thing, but this isn't anything to sneeze at

I was about to post the same thing. So I post this instead.

Beat that.

I'm going with Fugazi on this one, but this whole contest isn't fair (ie multiple accounts and submitted votes etc).

I'm listening to the Albini In On the Killtaker demos right now and have to say I like it more than the end result.

Well, I tend to like the raw more edgy sound compared to Don Zientara's clean slick production. It's like Guys vocals are all over the place. Yes, the final version is downright abrasive and agressive and well recorded, it's just what I prefer.

Looks like tJL is taking a small lead. Keep voting folks, I won't rest until they have the gargantuan lead they deserve!

I finally voted for the Jesus Lizard.

Seriously - Fugazi are great. This is indisputable.

But I never feel the urge to ever listen to them.

I do feel the urge to listen to the Jesus Lizard far more often.

So - the Jesus Lizard, it is.

Today I pulled out In on the Kill Taker, my favorite Fugazi record, for the first time in a while. I wouldn't call it "slick" by a long shot, especially the guitar tone.

I love the cover of that album. For all the flak they get about preaching, which is not really an issue outside of a few songs on Repeater, Fugazi are great at oblique political messages. They've written a lot of great ones in song, but my favorite is probably the cover of that record, the yellowed sky with Washington Monument, framed by a random weirdo's loose-leaf rant.

I'm pretty sure it's Ian MacKaye's best Fugazi record. Maybe Brendan Canty's too, but he probably showed better on Red Medicine.

The Jesus Lizard get much more of my time nowadays, though I just own Goat and Liar and am only a recent fan.
