Dinosaur Jr.
Massachusetts rockers Dinosaur Jr. were largely responsible for returning lead guitar to indie rock and, along with their peers the Pixies, they injected late-'80s alternative rock with monumental levels of pure guitar noise.
Scoring the 1993 UK Top 20 hit "Start Choppin", they have a signature sound as sure as the Stooges or Sonic Youth or Discharge ever did.
