Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind Tape

Formed in 1984, Dinosaur Jr carved a singular path through the latter half of the 1980s, issuing three highly-influential albums in the process before finding a home with Sire Records, who issued 'Green Mind' in 1991 as the alternative American rock scene the band had long been part of exploded globally. Produced by a stripped down line-up of the group (in fact, J Mascis himself plays almost everything), the album and Sire's international reach took Dinosaur Jr.'s reputation to a new level.
