Today's Top 5;

@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 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 - bullheadthose 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.

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.

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:
