Fugazi - Bed for the Scraping

I've always understood it that the lack of widespread attention was literally on purpose, by them, for cause. Shunning the music industry at every turn, 5$ mandatory shows, basically ignoring the big music world while nirvana and marylin pumpkins and whoever sucked the toe.

While never the biggest Fugazi music fan (although i went to all their shows i could in and around philly/nyc/jersey from '87 on...they were the best band i had ever and still yet have ever seen live) i've placed them, Shellac and The Bouncing Souls in a personal 'keepin it real' hall of fame for showing their ass and giving the finger to big music while so many punkish others (from agnostic front to x) essentially begged to be given the keys.

I've always been of the opinion that, had they wanted to, Fugazi could have been another U2 or Red Hot Chili Peppers and instead chose to remain under some ground.
