Dinosaur Jr vs Sonic Youth

Phillyboy · 09-14-2009, 12:03 AM

The Youth all the way for me, really not even a fair competition. I like Dinosaur Jr but SR are just soo much better in everyway. J Maciscs is a amazing guitar player and an all around musician and I like there cover of "Just Like Like Heaven" just as much as the Cure's version. but besides lead guitar ( asnd that a big maybe ) Sonic Youth's, drums, bass, vocals, rhythm, song structure was so much better.

I don't think they are really all that comparable outside of their noise freakouts and when they released their albums (Yes, I know they were admirers).

Dino Jr. was always at their best when they made simple, post-punk songs that rocked your socks off. Sonic Youth was at their best when they were exploring long, artsy pieces...

Both bands also hype the Jazzmaster to a certain degree. I'm more of a noise person so Sonic Youth is my answer.

Sonic Youth made Daydream Nation... Which is something I'll never be able to overcome. That album hit me like a ton of bricks the first time.

Dinosaur Jr. aren't at all bad though... It's just too tough for them to overcome Sonic Youth.

Sonic Youth.The fact they've kept exploring new avenues of experimentation,innovation and weren't afraid of failure is a huge factor.As is the fact the original Dinosaur lineup fell apart before fufilling it's potential.

Dinosaur jr for me although sonic youth are very experimental and daydream nation rocks. Dino are much more consistent ever album has some great songs my fav album by them is Your Living All Over Me.
