So in love with them right now. I missed the train on DJr back in the day and I'm really enjoying their new records a lot. Also J Mascis + The Fog are super cool too. Love this tune with Watt.

If you don't already have it, you'll probably love the DVD "Dinosaur Jr, Bug Live at the 9:30 Club". Superb! And the other DVD they made, "Live in the Middle East" (the club, not the place) is great. Middle east has poor camera work, the flashing lights are irritating after a while but the particular live version of "The Lung" on that one just simply blows the top of my head off ever time. J in the zone, big time!
For the last four or five years I would say clearing, Dinosaur Jr have been my favorite band. In that time I've invested in 27 LPs, 11 singles, 12 CDs and two DVDs. In fact, since getting my first LP in 1964 I would have to say that among my all-time favorites- The Beach Boys, Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, The Replacements and Pearl Jam,- if I had to list one all-time favorite it might just have to be Dinosaur Jr./J Mascis.
Dino Jr, J Mascis and the Fog, his solo albums and Heavy Blanket are all in my regular rotation.
I had the opportunity to catch Dinosaur Jr in '97. What an amazing experience!
If you haven't heard it, you might very much dig this one. Two records/ four sides, one looooooong jam! Awesome!
I never saw old Dinosaur Jr the first time around though i've been a fan since 93 when Where Ya Been came out
I saw J for the first time back in 2003. I think i've seen him solo (or with backing band) 5 times and with Dinosaur jr 4 times.
Never disappoints

Oh wait! And then there's the incredible BBC: In Session LP! And how can we leave out "Hand it Over"? And "Bug" for cryin' out loud! And all the rest... but then I'm a fanatic and there's not a single one of the bunch I would want to do without!

And here's an excellent and rare opportunity to hear all three band members interviewed at the same time. Good stuff!

Not sure I agree with the picks either. Where You Been needs to be on the list. Hand It Over, Without a Sound, Beyond and Farm round out the five essential albums for me.
There's not a bad album in the catalog, though.
Edit: Here's the whole glorious piece:

Thanks for sharing, blux!
dudeman, have you checked out the official Dinosaur site lately? They put up these very cool Dino emojis you can download if you have an iphone. I don't, but they look great! I was checking them out and then went to their store and had to get another t-shirt- the Owl Man!
Can't believe it's been 20 years since I saw them last.
Man, what a band!
One thing about the show: there was a lot of moshing and fighting. My friend and I were the second row back from the rail right in front of J and most of the fighting and moshing was behind us a little. I managed to stay out of the worst of it. There were 6 or 7 women in the pit and a couple of them were randomly punching people in the face. A guy on the floor had a half full glass of beer smashed into the side of his head. Some dude was flicking a lighter at people attempting to light them on fire.
The venue being a brewery with glass glasses was particularly interesting. The floor was covered with broken glass, spilled beer and vomit. My friend had to stop on the way out to pull pieces of broken glass out of the bottom of his shoes.
All in all, it was quite a night. Dinosaur Jr definitely rocked the place.
when I saw them, J was about 3 feet in front of approx 72 sq ft of amps.
