I think the reason I never bothered with THE ARGUMENT was because END HITS was kinda a snore.

But let's get started on my list again, please. Hell, someone recently cited AFI -- that's just as bad (if not worse, in my book) than My Chemical Colostomy Bag.

Meanwhile, I have to say that I'm entirely loving the new Whie Stripes live album.

_End Hits_ and _Steady Diet_ were Fugazi's weakest LPs. I think their strongest LP was _In on the Killtaker_, followed by _Repeater_ followed by _The Argument, followed by _Red Medicine_. "13 Songs" is a collection of two EPs. If you want to call it, however, an "LP," then I'd place it in 2nd place behind _In on the Killtaker_. Not every music lover would agree with this. Certainly not every Fugazi fan would.

Compared to crap like The Vines and Be Your Own Pet and also (sorry) but a lot of the stuff, on for ex., Alex's Top 50 list, _The Argument_ is, IMHO, pretty damn great. It isn't someting I chose because it, hey, it's Fugazi, so, well, gotta give 'em props, regardless of their output. Because I honestly think their _End Hits_ LP from 1998 sucks.

I said this before and I'll say it again. The Arguement: A good album. Good, not great. Probably their weakest and definitely not worthy of a Top 50 that comprises an entire decade. A glaring omission? Only if they are being included simply because they put out any album at all, rather than an awesome album.
