      The ATDI, HWM and Avail were all in heavy, heavy rotation for me during my college years. And of course Descendents, albeit a bit earlier for me. Nostalgic picks right there!

        top 5 music
        pixies - trompe le monde
        sonic youth - daydream nation
        nomeansno - small parts isolated and destroyed
        the fall - perverted by language
        melvins - bullhead

        those albums are closest to my heart, could fit at least another 50 that also move me every time they i hear them. music is fantastic, although (IMO) definitely not going in the right direction.

          Top 5 (this is going to be difficult):

          Fleet Foxes: Helplessness Blues
          Grateful Dead: Europe 72, or as I like to call it, the Christmas Album
          Pearl Jam: Vs
          Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
          Daft Punk: Discovery

            @Bored In Breck - Nice that the Descendents made the list. Saw them live this summer, I really enjoyed that.

            And I missed the post by @GardenState - OTMAPP, hell yeah!

            The Meteors are such a good band.

              I'd probably have a different list 15 minutes from now, but off the top of my head:
              5. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
              4. Depeche Mode - Violator(maybe Music for the Masses)
              3. The Clash - London Calling
              2. Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always
              1. Danzig - Lucifuge

                            Great shit; Lucero just dropped a new one this week, great live band! Fugazi was absolutely formative for me. Their shows were so great. I really loved their label in general, lots of great bands on Dischord.

                            Think it, be it.

                              While we're on the topic of Dischord - Glen E. Friedman is putting put a new book on Minor Threat, I'm really looking forward to that!

                                  Lucero live used to be an amazing experience, the last few times I seen them was not so great. and the last few albums just don't speak to me.
                                  But that's life.
                                  I got lucky and saw Fugazi at there last show in toronto back in like 99ish? Great show and Grade opened for that.

                                    Last Lucero I saw was in Minneapolis at the Triple Rock in 2008. Rowdy crowd and they had them in the palm of their hand. I haven’t listened to them much since then but it was a terrific show.

                                    I got to see Fugazi twice up close and personal, 1993, when my friend interviewed Ian before the show while I was in high school:

                                    And again in 1996:

                                          @mclaincausey @natehate The "real" show I ever attended was Fugazi in Milwaukee in 93'. Before that it was just local punk rock bands.

                                          I just turned 15 and unwisely "borrowed" my parents car, filled it with friends and saw Fugazi and Lungfish. It truly changed the course of who I was to become. That sounds a bit cheesy, but it is true. I had the fortune of seeing Fugazi a few other times, but nothing ever compared to that first one.

                                          Lucero- I have probably seen Lucero more than any other band. They used to headline or open for what seemed to be every band that I wanted to see throught the early 2000's. I grew to love them. There last time they were at Red Rocks was my welcome back to music from the covid restrictions. It was special, as I forgot how powerful live music was for my soul after going without for sooo long. But it is true, they aren't nearly as rowdy as they were. Grown ups....pfft..

                                          I should probably rank my Top 5 shows at some point. That first Fugazi show would have to be in there, but that is a tough other 4.....

                                            I can totally relate to that. Started around the same time and age, and it never really went away.
