Album Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thine White Rope -
Dinosaur Jr - 1

I'm a huge fan of You're Living All Over Me, I think it's one of the greatest alternative rock albums ever to be honest. The songs perfect that balance between accessibility and abrasiveness - a sizeable chunk of the content consists of what are essentially pop songs dragged through an industrial shredder, and they're just a great listen. Plus. Mascis' melodic guitar riffs are nectar to the ears.

I've listened to the Thin White Rope album a couple of times now. I like it a lot, but in my opinion it just isn't in the same league as YLAOM.

I think that Moonhead album is good but nothing great and at 50 odd mins seems overly long for what it is. The Dinosaur Jr album despite not being in my top 3 albums by the band has a fantastic contrast between its abrasive side and its Neil Young inspired melodies, also the guitar work of J.Mascis is amazing.

Thin White Rope- 0
Dinosaur Jr- 2

i'm gonna have to go with Moonhead, it's thrilling and the intertwining guitars are awesome, whereas Mascis is as lazy as he's always been

Thin White Rope - 1
Dinosaur Jr. - 2
