Do you know what I love most about Dinosaur Jr? The "Jr" part of their name. They added it after getting a cease-and-desist order from a '60s supergroup calling themselves The Dinosaurs. I have to say of all the ways I've heard of bands getting around cease-and-desist orders, that's the cleverest yet.
As for their music? Well, it's ok. They did get a bit too heavy for my liking at times... and in general the US indie rock sound is one I have mixed feelings about. But that one verse in "Freak Scene" (you know which one I mean!) is still one of the greatest lyrics ever written. And this track, from their debut album, is pretty cool too.
