Dinosaur Jr isn't even the best band J Mascis was in. Sebadoh, people. Sebadoh.


When was J Mascis in Sebadoh???????????????????????

Lou Barlow is Sebadoh

Jane's is an afterthought in the whole conversation...

Wow. Were you there? That's precisely what happened.

Dammit. I thought he played on The Freed Man.

I'm a far bigger Lou Barlow fan than J Mascis.

I like 'em both, but Sebadoh is great too...

That's why I think Dino was at it's best with Lou in the band... after he left, it was basically a solo project for J

"You're Living All Over Me" is one of the most influential records of the '90s indie rock scene... J brought guitar solos back to the party, brah!

And cdwag's probably right about the East Coast thing. Music is still pretty regional. It's one of the things I like about a band like, say, Drivin n Cryin. To a Southern alt-rock fan of a certain age, they are a seminal band. To everyone else, they are barely a footnote.

Anybody want to talk shite about Drivin n Cryin? That' i'll fist fight over.

But spot on take.

Just goes to show how strong the 80s were with these bands.

One of my favorite Alt-Rock bands from back in the college days. Kevn Kinney's solo album Broken Hearts and Auto Parts is FANTASTIC.

Drivin n Cryin are actually touring right now. I missed them when they came through Houston dammit.

ETA, they'll be in Houston May 3rd. I'll be there

Yeah, they're still putting out music, but I admit I haven't bought anything since "Smoke".

Has this thread now been hijacked by Drivin n Cryin fans?

That was THE band to listen to at LSU, 88-92... and probably most of the other SEC schools

3 vastly different bands in my opinion. Pixies ultimately were probably the most influential, but Jane's Addiction was a phenomena. Saw them in concert before they were really popular and before alt rock was all the rage with everyone. Best experience at a show in my life - mosh pit but no major league assholes trying to hurt anyone - awesome.
