Dinosaur Jr. no doubt

T'was between Dinosur Jr and Rise Against for me. But seeing as Rise Against are pretty much my favourite band at the moment, they win.

Rise against for me!

Hendrix is losing to Dinosaur Jr? So... the music experts at musicbanter have deemed a good but not great alt-grunge band that had an interesting yet unremarkable career BETTER than someone who is considered one of the greatest and most influential musicians in rock music history? Isn't the point of these polls to figure out who is the "best"?

Good job folks.

I'm shocked too. Mb made the right choice, so far. It's not about technical skill or influence we could read some stupid magazine if we wanted that but it's about preference.

I prefer Hendrix. Spanish Castle Magic is like an orgasm in an aural format.

Heh. If it's in a magazine that doesn't necessarily make it wrong. Technical skill and influence aside... Dinosaur Jr is still not even close to Jimi Hendrix - I like Dinosaur Jr, don't get me wrong ... but please, I feel like this is a huge joke!

I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS

But seriously, picking DinoJr because you want to be cool and pick the lesser known band is pretty lame. It's apparent to me at least that it's an act of trying to go against the norm for the sake of going against the norm... which, in the end is just conforming all over again.

Hendrix was cool.

But I'd take Dinosaur Jr's music over him anytime.

Its even funnier when going against the norm is the norm, and thus voting to fit in with the norm would make you against the norm.

It's even funnier that I've been on about Dinosaur Jr. for a very long time and that I've never been a huge fan of Jimi.
