The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - Tracks! Final top 10 results happening right now.

Bad penny way way way too low

at this point I've placed 18 tracks and expect to get up to 25, not bad considering

Wow, so either those early Sonic Youth album tracks didn't place at all or they're all in the top 75. Intriguing.

how many sonic youth tracks were nominated?

someone explain Dinosaur Jr to me

Sludgefeast slays.

that's not a very good explanation

xpost I'm not the guy to explain Dino Jr in general, someone else can do that, but why I love You're Living All Over Me - it feels like this effortless balance of rock, noise and melody. There's so many songs on it that by all rights should sound over-fussy due to the different moods and elements shoved into a short space of time, but they just make it sound so unforced.

They're the band My Bloody Valentine coulda been.

well that's terrifying

dinousaur jr were never anything like my bloody valentine

i clicked on a few of the more mnstrm american rock/metal youtubes and whilst not actively offensive, they're mostly not good

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDY

love that riff

^GET IN.

Dino Jr is the sound of a Void or Germs record left in Neil Young's van during a heavy hotboxing sesh

In other words, nuthin like mbv

guys it was just a lead in to the next track

yeah Dino Jr is not MBV-like at all except for guitar effects pedals maybe

OK the next one was my #1

shocked that Tiffany placed in this

You're Living All Over Me: mix of very tuneful classic rock with extreme guitar noise. Also, Mascis's voice was very pleasant.

Not that different in concept from Husker Du, actually.

no dinosaur jr are both literally and metaphorically the sound of glenn branca and glen matlock frotting underneath a dying extractor fan in a rural new hampshire restroom during a snowstorm on an unspecified date between november 1982 and february 1983 and j mascis has confirmed this

never heard candlemass before. dig it and just bought the 7".

Being slow as usual here but co-sign to everyone saying Youth Of America is great.

Not that different in concept from Husker Du, actually.

but more Neil Young-ish

Glad to hear it Stirmonster! Thats from the 1st and best album (the 1st 4 are essential though)

Not that different in concept from Husker Du, actually.

but more Neil Young-ish

yeah Huskers were The Who.

dinousaur jr were never anything like my bloody valentine

― A.R.R.Y. Kane (nakhchivan), Tuesday, September 25, 2012 3:44 PM (14 minutes ago)

other way around really. dinosaur had a huge impact on the underground '85 - '87, hitching the whiny melodicism of the cure to the shambolic guitar splatter of neil young w/ crazy horse with a louder-than-thou live approach. they laid a path forward for sonic youth, who began to ape them on sister and daydream nation.

and when I heard isn't anything, it was pretty clear this new, improved MBV would not have existed without dinosaur and SY as precursors. the blurry fuzz of "feed me with your kiss" is not that far removed from what's on you're living all over me, even down to shields/mascis' narcoleptic personas. and it was such a common observation in the press that shields was a bit fed up with the comparison when I interviewed him in '89.

he was probably fed up with the comparison because he was ripping off bands that weren't dinosaur jr

shields/mascis' narcoleptic personas

the noisy overcranked feedback is shared between but ithink this is a big difference, mascis = stoned, genial, proto-slacker drawl, shields = dull, blissed out, exhausted lament

Awesome!

narcissism of small differences

at the time it was pretty clear whose dog food shields was eating

xxp

dude ilx with narcissism of small differences excised would fit on a floppy disk uncompressed

didnt shields produce The Fog?
