I like Sonic Youth, but I love Dinosaur Jr
Dinosaur is just all around better songwriting, and J's guitar solos are absolutely unbelievable. Sonic Youth is probably more experimental and original in alot of ways, but I just worship Dinosaur. One of my favorite bands. Both are still releasing great albums after 20+ years though. I don't think there are many bands who have as consistently great catalogs. |

Daydream Nation is one of my favorite albums of all, so I'll have to go with Sonic Youth although I really love both. I agree with siamesedream in the sense that both bands are still releasing great albums, although... Farm > The Eternal.

These are both bands I'd heard of and never listened to until I got here. I'm not really into either very much, but I can certainly see the appeal and the comparison.
I prefer Sonic Youth because their is a more raw and palatable quality to it, DJ seems like a bunch of really good musicians playing music that generally doesn't appeal to me, but playing it really well. I just got the remastered "You're Living All Over Me" from Dinosaur Jr. Anyone got any thoughts on what I should keep an eye out for on this record?

From You're Living All Over Me, my favourite moments:
- Little Fury Things, amazing explosion at the intro and awesome fuzzy guitars, same with the outro. - Sludgefeast, great intro again with awesome fuzzed out riff, lovely section in the middle where the distortion calms down for 10 seconds before re-exploding. - Raisins ah I love most of the album, but I'm too stoned to explain really. I'm not sure what you like, but I hope you dig it... my favourite is probably Bug though (but only just). |
