Fugazi is such a great indie/post-hardcore band. Repeater and 13 songs are both genius. I started with those two albums and recently expanded my library to include In On The Killtaker, Red Medicine, and Steady Diet of Nothing. In on the Killtaker and Steady Diet of Nothing have some great songs but aren't as good as Repeater or 13 songs. Red Medicine has to be Fugazi's best post-repeater album. Combing both their early post-hardcore style and the elements of indie from their later albums, Red Medicine is a great addition to any library.

When i was making my list i wasn't completely sure wether or not to include them, they draw a line between indie rock and punk, but im glad i did include them i completely agree with you they are fantastic.

i can't quite reconcile the fact nevermind was released on a major label, recorded in a fantastic studio (same one as fleetwood mac's rumours incidentally) with top of the range equipment and mixed (by andy wallace, previous work includes slayer) and mastered to the high hilt with its status as an 'indie' album.

for me, you know it's a great album.. but it's not really 'indie' is it.
