DINOSAUR JR. CDs available from booksmusicfilmstv.com - in association with Amazon.co.uk
Dinosaur Jr. are, like The Velvet Underground were, commercially unsuccessful (so far), but they have been hugely influential, and it could be argued that they invented grunge, and not Nirvana.

The original line-up of Dinosaur Jr. consisted of J. Mascis (guitar, vocals), Lou Barlow (bass), and Emmett Patrick Murphy (drums). Formed in 1983 in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dinosaur Jr. began to make people sit up and take notice with their 1988 album on SST, 'Bug', which was an incredible record, with a lot of styles, mostly used to good effect.'Freak Scene' contained some guitar work rarely heard in today's world of increasingly plastic music. Other notable songs included the gentler, beautiful 'Pond Song' and 'No Bones', though the latter exploded at the end, while 'Don't' is one to upset nasty neighbours with - mind blowing in its power and intensity. J. Mascis proved himself to be one of the great musical talents of his generation - albeit an unappreciated one.

Mascis, Barlow, and Murphy got back together in 2005 for another crack at finding success with Dinosaur Jr. second time around.
