While not necessarily an album, it's a good way to get exposed to the band. Apparently they led the birth of alternative in the '90s.
This discovering came from my best friend and fellow music snob Dominic giving me my current favorite track, 'Feel the Pain'
The song begins with what sounds like the uncorking of a wine bottle, then courses into glorious harmonious guitar. Have a listen for yourself; you'll hear what I mean.
My favorite tracks from this basic run-through of Dinosaur Jr's career are as follows;
- Feel the Pain
- Take a Run at the Sun
- Thumb
- Not You Again
I liked the whole disc, these four in particular. You could hear their sound evolve as the release moved from their earliest tracks to the more mature ones as alternative became popular.
In other news, I still haven't hung up my Keep Calm poster.
