"Dinosaur Jr is an American alternative rock band. Their distinctive sound, characterized by high gain, extensive use of feedback and distortion, and J Mascis' melodic guitar solos, was influential in the grunge music revolution of the 1990s, as exemplified by the success of acknowledged fans Nirvana. In the United States, Dinosaur Jr is probably best remembered for their 1993 single 'Start Choppin' and particularly for their 1994 single 'Feel the Pain.'

They were formed as Dinosaur in 1983 in Amherst, Massachusetts by J Mascis (guitar and vocals) and Lou Barlow (bass guitar), following the break-up of their hardcore punk band Deep Wound. Shortly afterwards, Murph (Emmett Patrick Murphy, drums) joined them. Their debut album, Dinosaur was issued in 1985. In 1987, in part due to support from fans in Sonic Youth, they signed to SST Records and released what is often considered their best album, You're Living All Over Me. Immediately following that album's release, another band called The Dinosaurs, featuring ex-members of Country Joe and the Fish and Jefferson Airplane, sued them over the use of the name, prompting the addition of 'Jr'."
