Thinking of checking this band out..

[SayHello2Heaven]

Why has no one recommended Bug? I mean come on Freakscene is awesome. No track on that record sucks.

About time someone mentions Freak Scene!!!!!!!
my all time favorite Dinosaur Jr. song....I'm not a big Dino fan but this song definitly stand out.

Id recommend freak scene or start choppin for anyone just starting to listen to D jr, certainly not the self titled album thats maybe a bit obscure for first time listener.

Maybe my post was invisible?

Any bands people can recommend sort of similar to Dinosaur Jr? I don't mean side projects or anything though.

I listen to a lot of Yo La Tango, Sebadoh and Lemonheads. All of them sound somewhat similiar to Dino Jr. to me.

Buffalo Tom, at least their first two albums (both produced by Masics) back in the day Buffalo Tom were affectionatly called Dinosaur Jr. Jr.

Pavement are sort of similar in their lo-fi feel.


Possibly Sonic Youth
