Where You Been

Over the past few weeks, I've been really into this band Dinosaur Jr. For those not familiar with them, they started off in 1984 and then broke up in 1997 and then reformed in 2005 and are still playing and putting out music. They have released 10 albums, including last years "I Bet On Sky". Honestly, I wasn't a fan or theirs until maybe five years ago or so. I do regret not getting into them sooner, especially when I was a teen. I knew about them but I just never gave them a chance. J. Mascis' guitar work and vocals compliment each other so well that they can not be separated. You can hear the same amount of pain, passion, heartbreak, love and lamenting in his vocals as you can in his guitar work and that is an extremely rare quality. He is ranked in the top 100 guitarist of all time by both Rolling Stone (86) and Spin (5).

I've really been into their 1993 album, "Where You Been". Man, what a masterpiece. If you were ever into 90's alternative music, get into it. There isn't a bad track on the whole album.
