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.

Faraquet was my re-introduction to the label after I had been away from it for a while. I first heard their split w/ Akarso and fell in love. Then their "The View From This Tower" came out on Dischord. Great stuff and actually they are a big reason why I posted this thread in the Rock & Metal forum and not Punk. Granted, I don't know of any metal bands on Dischord (please fill me in if anybody knows of any) but I thought Punk was too limiting.
I hope you enjoy 3. They are essentially the same band as Gray Matter but with Jeff Nelson, himself. They were my favorite 'back in the day'. I intend to put a review of their LP here sometime.

I ****ING LOVE BLACK EYES!
They're probably my top 10 favorite bands. Of course like any other awesome band they broke up right before their last album Cough came out.

Thanks, this is the stuff that I need to learn about. I have only listened to a couple Q and Not U songs and I was under-impressed. But it's been a while and I don't even remember what they sound like. I read a bit about Black Eyes and it seems like something I should check out. Same with Hoover.

Maybe a Dischord comp could be in order?

Yeah, despite the luxuries that the www provides, there is definitely something beautiful about the days when you could only get music from people you knew (in real life), from hip record stores in cities, or by mail order. Hey, lookit that - it's a generational reference point!
RE the comp: I say Yes, let's do it.
