Fugazi is a band from Washington, D.C.

The recordings were once again made in collaboration with long time Fugazi engineer Don Zientara at Inner Ear studios.

I would have to say....Repeater.	tastytoxins
Repeater most definately, however i aint heard any of the others so forgive me,	fatally_yours
Repeater is awesome. Probably the best album to start with. I'd move on to 13 songs next. Those 2 albums are the best for 1st time listeners. Each of their albums has been my favorite at a different point in time. So they really are all good, but some are harder to digest than others.	indierawk
13 songs	THE_DROOGIE
I Am Electric are my new heroes, I just saw them play and they reminded me a bit of fugazi, tell me what you think and listen to their stuff. www.iamelectric.com	swingers

the all suck hahahahaha	moose17
poo off	fatally_yours
is there really the best one? i can´t really choose.. but sure, almost anyone would say "repeater", and maybe that´s right.	brine
I'd have to agree with Repeater (+ 3 songs). I also like 13 Songs, which was my first Fugazi album. All of them are great.	arpeggiator
