(13 Songs is just a compilation of their first 2 EPs, so it's not a real studio album.)

Another Dischord release I don't really care for. It just sounds so anonymous and middle-of-the-road.

I love the first 4 tracks on PPFB, but I think the album drops off afterwards. Some guy above talked about murkiness, and that's exactly how most of the other songs feel.

Good article, even though I mostly disagree with your list of essentials. Gray Matter's Food for Thought/Take It Back is second only to Minor Threat's Complete Discography as my favorite early Dischord release. Fugazi's entire discography should be on there, since they are by far the greatest band on the label. …

I find his vocals on Cough to be extremely annoying for the most part. It works on a few of the more frantic songs, but the slower ones become almost unlistenable as a result. It's my least-favorite Dischord release I've ever bought.

They used to be called Kara's Flowers and sound just like Fountain of Wayne (i.e. passable alternative rock fluff). It you don't believe me, listen to this:

Fugazi obviously.

This is one of the blandest indie rock bands I've ever heard. If you removed eighty percent of Superchunk's songwriting talent, you'd get Spoon.

Don't bother with that one. It's super-predictable pop rock. The song Yabels listed is the only semi-decent one on the whole album.

Swans are predictable? More predictable than freakin' Beck? Moron alert!

It's gon rain soon.

The song I like the most off the latest Hold Steady album is
"Big Cig," but it still pales in comparison to the stuff they were making a decade ago.

If I'm picking just one, I'd have to go with Cloud Nothings' "I'm Not Part of Me."
But there are a ton more that I like almost just as much:
Guided by Voices - "Littlest League Possible"
Against Me! - "Paralytic States"
Bob Mould - "Fix It"
The Both - "The Prisoner"
Braid - "No Coast"
Morning Glory - "Standard Issue"
Parquet…

The only message that 95% of hip-hop has to convey is that misogyny and homophobia are great. Oh, and "bling."

Bikini Kill is honestly one of the worst bands I have ever heard.

Aside from The Woods, I find most of Sleater-Kinney's discography quite mediocre. I don't see how Dig Me Out qualifies as a 90s classic; Corin Tucker's range is very limited on that album, and each track is practically indistinguishable from the next. The Woods is Sleater-Kinney operating at a much higher level.
Fuga…

While simultaneously developing the medieval adventures of over 80 different characters must be quite complicated, Martin's actual prose is nothing more than pedestrian and serviceable genre writing. As long as he leaves behind thorough notes, any competent ghostwriter will be able to carry out the rest of the story.…
