13 Songs

13 Songs is a compilation of all the songs from the American post-hardcore band Fugazi's first two EPs. It was released in September 1989.
The EPs compiled were Fugazi (1988), which was recorded at Inner Ear Studios in June 1988 with Ted Niceley & Don Zientara, and Margin Walker (1989), which was recorded in December 1988 at Southern Studios in London with John Loder handling production duties.
13 Songs is Fugazi's most successful release. While certain sources report the album's total worldwide sales as being over 3 million, Alan O'Connor in his 2008 book Punk Record Labels and the Struggle for Autonomy: The Emergence of DIY lists the figure as 750,000 (based on an interview with Dischord Records).
In 2005, 13 Songs was ranked 29 in Spin's "100 Greatest Albums, 1985–2005". NME ranked it #284 in their list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2014. Paste ranked it at #57 on their list of "The 80 Best Albums of the 1980s". In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked it 35th on their list of the "40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time".
