PERSONAL EXPERIENCE 

I haven't listened to a lot of other Fugazi besides the 13 songs album. I intend to download them though, and I've been meaning to. But the 13 songs album is a compilation of songs from different albums/EP's that they've put out. I first got into Fugazi about three years ago when my mom showed them to me. My mom likes them a lot and a lot of other punk music as well, and so she's known about Fugazi for a long time. 13 songs is an amazing album and I do recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of music. I will link you to the songs.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE 

Since I am a big fan of pop punk, I love this band. They are the perfect mix of upbeat but also sad, and their lyrics are fantastic. I haven't gotten to see them in concert yet, but I will on June 26th when I go to Warped Tour, which I'm really excited for. I have liked TSSF for over a year now and I still haven't gotten tired of them.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE 
I've never been able to see MCR in concert and I won't be able to now which makes me infinite amounts of sad because I LOVE this band. I listen to them a lot when I'm sad (which is a lot as well) and I love the band members as well. I didn't really start getting 'into' this band until about a year and a half ago. But once I did find them I fell in love. I love the lyrics, Gerard's voice, their sound. They were on my list of bands to see in concert one day but I won't be able to now and it actually made me cry when they broke up. Since I can't choose a favorite song (much  like all the other hundreds of bands I listen to) I will just link you to their music videos.
