Fugazi are one of the best bands to have existed. Ian Mackaye, when he was in Minor Threat, basically invented American Hardcore along with Rollins and his band Black Flag. Some others you might like from that genre: The Minutemen, Drive Like Jehu, Refused (they're a Swedish band and I've linked to them before here, but here's another vid because I like them. If you want to know what all the crappy emo/screamo music came from, this is probably the band - although it's watered down and terrible now.
