You should definatley check out some Dead Moon its probably the finest band to have come out of the Seattle scene. They're kinda old school garage rock Neil Young & Crazy Horse styles. I recommend their album Thirteen Off My Hook especially the song Dancing on my Grave. There's a really good scene with them in it on Hype! with them pressing there own LPs and playing one of their songs (that shit gives me goosebumbs!). But yeh if your into anything like Neil Young or The Sonics definatley check it out 'cause I think they've become my all time favorite band.

I think Mudhoney and Fugazi depends on the albums you have some are a lot easier to get into than others. I found the first two Fugazi EPs were a good start (Now both together on the CD 13 Songs) because In on the Killtaker is a really abrasive album until it grows on you but the first two EPs have stuff like Waiting Room, Suggestion and Give the Cure which have a really good catchey groove to them.
I've heard that early Soul Asylum is really good but I've kinda been put off by the whole "Runaway Train" thing....
A band that doesn't get the respect it deserves for pretty much starting the whole grunge scene is Husker Du. Zen Arcade is an album I'll be trashing till I'm grey, old and deaf!
