Despite the line, I'm not necessarily drawing a line under Lou Barlow, but to maintain momentum in this thread, here is:-

Song #2: Fugazi - Waiting Room (1988)

I love the bass guitar lead in and how you can hear that same riff throughout. The anguish/anger from the vocalist caught my attention immediately, as did the opening lines:-


"My time is like water down a drain" Brilliant! What a pity though, that the song comes to such an early and abrupt end.
Fugazi and Minor Threat founding member Ian McKaye also has a band with his wife Amy named The Evens, it's a duo guitar (him) and drums (her).

One thing cool, Fugazi used to swap vocalists.

Here's the one who took the more "emotive" songs.
