Sebadoh are just more up my street. Dont get me wrong, I love DJ's music, I really dig the melodic, distorted style of Mascis' guitar playing and I love the whole 'power trio' set up. But Sebadoh are just more unhinged with a greater variation in their output. I generally prefer Barlow to Mascis whilst I also think Gaffney produces really interesting sound collages and Loewenstein is a very underrated songwriter. I mean come on, Happily Divided and Not Too Amused are two of Sebadohs best songs.

As for Sidewinder finding III overrated... I strongly disagree. I think it's up there with Slanted & Enchanted and Bee Thousand in terms of the best Lo-Fi Indie Rock albums. But it's all personal opinion at the end of the day.
