One of my favorites is the band, 3. Also emo?

Well I wasn't actually trying to single out the "original emo" bands, I was merely implying that much post-hardcore (Dischord or other labels) stems from original emo.
Some of the Dischord bands I like other than Fugazi are:
Faraquet,
Jawbox,
Channels,
Medications,
Smart Went Crazy,
The Evens and
Q and Not U (only really like
Different Damage though). Looking at the list, I'm actually embarassed at how many of the bands I've never heard. I've heard others not mentioned, I'm just not that into them...
Minor Threat,
Embrace,
Rites of Spring,
Lungfish,
The Warmers,
Shudder to Think,
Hoover. I will check out
3 since you mentioned them.
