... Would Dinosaur sound so perfect. The muffled drums, the distorted bass, the outstanding guitar work - and 9 (Poledo doesn't really count) perfect songs make this one of the finest albums in my collection. SST released some excellent stuff back in the day (before Greg Ginn stopped paying everyone)...

Instead, Mascis found a guitar, formed Dinosaur Jr., discovered he was a natural tunesmith; he brought old-school virtuosity into punk and helped create what we now call indie. Not… more »
No, it's not a great name: "shoegazing." Very few artists who've actually played in that style like the term; Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai has called it "a dumb term made up by clueless... idiots... if someone called us shoegazers, I'd be pretty unhappy."
