[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[Alexander Smith]

Well, there is that, but also, the vibe is very different. With  
Killing Joke, there's a whole maelstrom of palpable malevolence  
involved, with Jaz being whipped up into furious frenzy by the sheer  
dread of the menace of both sound and subject matter.

With Fugazi, there was this insanely tight precision to the music that  
just wound them up like tops, and unlike so many of their peers, these  
guys REALLY, REALLY, REALLY MEANT what they were harping on about.  
Watching Guy and Ian interplay, .... this stuff really takes it out of  
them. But it was a different energy that KJ's.
