i love brighten the corners, its the one that got me

gualbert · 10.26.2009, 10:12 AM

I prefer Sebadoh (they're like twin bands to me)

Count Mecha · 10.26.2009, 10:28 AM

I watched the Slow Century doc again a few days ago after about a five year absence. It's not nearly as good as I remember. But the performances are still good.

Wowee Zowee is my favorite.

scott v · 10.26.2009, 10:32 AM

though i did like sebadoh i just think pavemment are longer lasting musically speaking than sebadoh. especially is the case after gaffney left sebadoh, a band dynamic was gone, though 'bakesale' is pretty awesome.

gualbert · 10.26.2009, 10:43 AM

Yeah.
What I like about Sebadoh, is that all three wrote cool songs in different kind of music: accoustic-folk, indy rock, thrashy lo-fi (!!), etc.
Unlike Pavement who is the band of just one guy, if I'm not mistaken.

Love Brighten, my second favorite Pavement record behind Slanted (Favorite album ever), and I think start to finish it's their most consistent record. Their best time for live shows, as well.

Love all their stuff though, even Terror Twilight.

DanielCarlson · 10.26.2009, 12:13 PM

I like their albums in the order they came out actually. Slanted > Crooked Rain > Wowee Zowee > Brighten The Corners > Terror Twilight.

ridiculously mistaken

pavement was originally two guys

Steven Malkmus and Spiral Stairs. They released several 7" singles of skronk

(collected in westing by musket & sextant)

Both guys continued to write songs on every pavement album.

ricechex · 10.26.2009, 01:15 PM

Still sure sounds like one guy. I would guess 99% of the meat and potatoes is.

This is true to an extent, but up until Crooked Rain Spiral helped write most of the material (Including all of the early EPs and Slanted), and since Slanted is widely considered their best record....

That isn't really a point to what you said, so I'm just going to say Pavement wouldn't be Pavement without Spiral.

Rob Instigator · 10.26.2009, 01:54 PM

More like 70%-30%

I'm sure lots of people think like that. I think like that. That's not a weird way to think at all.

Pavement are pretty good. I think I honestly like them a bit less than I should just because I'm sick of hearing about them on here. No kidding. But they're a good band, regardless. Definitely not worth all this praise and I dunno why we need 500 threads about them, but I guess I'd rather see that than another thread about Dinosaur Jr., who aren't very good at all.

To the person who said Sebadoh: As far as "90's melodic college rock" goes, Sebadoh is definitely, by far, without question, the best. In my opinion.
