Dying to hear these Dinosaur Jr songs that are so much better than 'Freak Scene' :)

Though not just this song, it's my favorite album from them as well.

Every song on "You're Living All Over Me"

This

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Incredibly I found the S'Express far and away the most enjoyable.

You're sounding a bit dour. Maybe it's time to lay off those austere Bunnymen records.

TTD- sartorial elegance but completely ruined by being overplayed in commercials
Sexpress- bit dated and a muff smell about it but at the time this was pretty much ruling the dancefloor.
Djr- still kicks in a door or two. If most guitar bands currently plugging away took a minute and appreciate what J is doing here- short, sharp and to the point- there would be more good bands around.
NC- having heard him doing this in such an incendiary way live in Amsterdam in the day it has left a mark on my soul. On record it doesn't come close to the threat it poses live. That song is indestructible.
PSB- big warm sound from one of their most underrated LPs. Anyone namechecking Che Guevara and Debussy in the same sentence deserves favour.

Voted Freak Scene with Pets a close second.
