@_tom_ yes, but fugazi and minor threat accidentally gave birth to emo and for that crime alone they should be burned on pyre of girls aloud and B*witched cds.
13 songs was a great album though.

I like all of their albums. All have great production, something which seems to have been lost with a lot of modern music
"Proper" emo is good, but things like my chemical romance are definitely shit!

.....ish.
It would have gone totally past me, but it was played by Ms Laverne (or the afternoon lass) on Radio 6 Music last week. Being a tad obsessive about Rush, I looked it up then.
As a middle aged saddo, I have no idea about Pavement. They appear to be a modern beat combo.

Stuart Morrow / Jason Harris / Nelson - all New Model Army, Stuart started the style, the others had to learn it & then adapt it for themselves
JJB - big influence on Stuart Morrow

They were (?are) great, notable for a) being a bit too clever, and b) sounding 'slightly' like the Fall in the early days.
More importantly, there is ongoing heated debate about whether Crooked Rain or Wowee Zowee is their masterwork.

(It's Wowee Zowee, since you ask)

Out of all that I understood "The Fall", they were popular when Q was new and I could still see my feet.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I wouldn't go so far as to use 'popular' as a term to describe Pavement
'Critical darlings' would be closer to the mark - they were around when Oasis were far & away the biggest band in the UK, & Bush (Bush!) in the US. Their popularity among music journalists & students was entirely disproportionate.

Indeed, liking REM, Radiohead, Nirvana etc etc, I'm slap bang in the "Oh you must like Pavement" demographic, when in fact, because I'm not a journalist from the NME, I can see them for what they were; just a bit dull

it was 2 great EP's first

I was expecting that one from you...

I don't know that that's wholly fair; however, I do own a copy of Gary Young's Hospital so perhaps I am not entirely unbiased.
There are worse horrors lurking in my record collection - the complete works of Polvo* anyone?

*Exploded Drawing is really good, incidentally.

What they were in your opinion. Pavement had some truly great songs. Bit prolific for their own good, but nowhere near one of the dullest bands of their era.
