/makes thread

Is it just me, or are these guys tragically underrated? I discovered them a while back via the YSI threads, but only recently have discovered that I think they're really good. Anyone else like them?

np: Yeah Right

[Anxious]

Damn good. Lou Barlow has his bass goin on, J has his guitar and thats all you need.

[sr800bkBassist]

i loooooove them.
they put on an amazing live show.

[The NPC]

Barlow years = underrated

Post Barlow years = overrated

[Anxious]

I would love to see them live.

J. Mascis wrote all the basslines/recorded them anyway.
but yes, they deffinitely had a lot more of their deffinitive punk energy with Lou.

although their later more sentimental songs are still great.

[Sam]

My favorite band. Saw them live twice.

[Excursions]

Great band. Anyone interested in Mascis and Barlow should try Deep Wound, the hardcore punk band they were in before Dinosaur Jr.

ooo!
i'll check that out.
who sings on it?

i also recently found out that J. was in a band with GG Allin for a short peroid of time during the 80's.

[Sam]

Deep Wound is:

Charlie Nakajima - Vocals
Lou Barlow - Guitar
Scott Helland - Bass
J Mascis - Drums

[Anxious]

"Guitar is a wimpy instrument"

- J Mascis

[sr800bkBassist]

Charlie Nakajima - Vocals
Lou Barlow - Guitar
Scott Helland - Bass
J Mascis - Drums
sounds cool.
along with his singing, did Lou play guitar or bass in Sebadoh?
the bass playing sounded less interesting in that band.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

[BillCosby]

<-- seen them live, for free

I like them, but I'm not huge on them.

He did a little bass work but mostly guitar I believe.

Sebadoh makes me happy.

[Radiobass81]

I've yet to hear anything from them... :upset:

You're not missing anything after the first three albums.

[Bukowski]

They were my favorite band for a while, but now all i ever listen to is You're Living All Over Me. It's by far their best i think.

Great live band as well.

[Ficus]

Dinosaur Jr's a great band, but I've been meaning to look into Sebadoh. Which album would be good to start out with?

Bubble and Scrape

[sr800bkBassist]

get Bug.
or You're Living All Over Me.

just a question, but is anyone else annoyed by the album version of In a Jar?
the bass is really loud yet undistorted so it's just numb sounding, and the guitar is silent until the solo.

the BBC Sessions version is amazing however. loud and full of life.
also when they play it live now. it's my favorite by them, except i almost never bother with the original version.

Bug > YLAOM

[Sam]

I love the album version of In a Jar. It was the first Dinosaur song I heard and it made me love the band.

And for Sebadoh...get Bubble and Scrape if you're looking for more power-poppish stuff. Get III if you want some of the weirder acoustic songs.

[Sam]

YLAOM>Bug

YLAOM has no boring songs, but I skip over Yea We Know alot.

yeah but listen to the BBC Sessions version and compare them.

[Bukowski]

YLAOM has Sludgefeast, which is my favorite Dino Jr song.

No way, the songs on Bug are way more emotional. You can hear the band falling apart.

[sr800bkBassist]

yeah.
YLAOM has more of the fun garage punk sound (although "Raisins" is very very powerful), but Bug has a more moving, strong sound.

[The NPC]

It's probably one of SST's best releases and probably one of the more expensive ones to produce.

[Sam]

Bug certainly does have its moments...well, lots of moments. But Little Furry Things is probably one of my favorite songs ever.

[Bukowski]

Little Fury Things is the first song i heard by them, and that's what got me so interested in them. It's an amazing song.

[Sam]

ooo!

In case you were still wondering. It's under CDs, Punk, GG Allin 'Hatred of the Nation.'

[Kyle]

I love Dinosaur Jr, but I don't have as many of their Cd's as I'd like, and only one with the original line up!(Bug). I also have Green Mind and Where You Been which I really like, I actually prefer Where You Been to Bug :confused: I saw them at Reading Festival last August and they 'rocked my socks off', an old man next to me was actually in tears.

Anyone heard much of J Mascis and the Fog? I have their BBC Sessions and Free So Free and they are both a nice listen, especially the title track of the latter.

Where You Been is definitely a good album, my favorite post-Barlow. And it has Not the Same, which is a beautiful song. But man, you need to get You're Living All Over Me, its a classic.

I downloaded a collection if Deep Wound songs recorded between 1982-84, but i havn't listened to it yet.

[Zmev]

YLAOM is my favorite from them but Bug has my favorite song (Freak Scene)
