How do I get into Pavement? I love Pixies, Sonic Youth, Weezer but they do nothing for me. Vocals seems week and too high in the mix. I have listened to the first two albums, maybe the later are better?

keep listening to s&e, listen to watery domestic ep as well

try Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
the quirks of the shit production on S&E may be bothering you
but also Stephen Malkmus is like a smarty-pants with a better-than-you disposition, so the weak delivery might be just his tossed-off dismissive kinda vibe
you're supposed to vibe with this though, his lyrics are a specific kind of hipster nonsense
well anyway i think the lyrics are sharper on CR,CR
better guitar playing too

hey man, did you figure it out? what pavement is all about?

do we have to have this same retarded thread a billion times over? and for every single artist that has ever existed?

>i've listened to this band you guys like
>their absolute best albums
>HATED IT
>did nothing for me
>tell me how to fix this

what the fuck are you imagining as our response? i know you won't like mine but try to imagine a realistic response to that question. am i going to give you a magical key to understanding them?

you listened to their best albums and you found nothing worth liking. i somehow doubt listening to their later, inferior albums is going to help. and why the fuck would you want to?

what the fuck is with this weird, obsessive need to like every band and album? i guarantee that you are neurotic as fuck and i hate you

Listen to the song Black Out by them

Chill out man, wtf

try built to spill first and then come back to them. worked for me

the music isn't for you. fuck off

you won't let me be chill. i'm trying to be chill right now but you motherfuckers make these threads and i can't help myself

You could say something like "this album is incredibly important and universally acclaimed"

ITT snorecore

Don't bother OP, just listen to the Fall instead
And then listen to Pere Ubu instead of the Fall because they suck too

>You could say something like "this album is incredibly important and universally acclaimed"

oh jfc

surely he's aware of that, right? he's a Sup Forumstant who went straight to the first two albums of pavement. it's almost unthinkable that he would not be aware of that

and even if it was news to him, again, what difference would it make? if you just listened to two albums which you hated would it make a difference to you if someone said "you know, they're fairly well established and respected"?

pavement isn't a fucking limb that he needs. i still don't understand how there is any need to like a particular band or album

Without these threads 90% of Sup Forums wouldn't exist

good riddance then

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Brighten the Corners is Pavement's best album so start there

Well, The Fall and Pere Ubu are both radically different bands from Pavement, so I don't get what point you're trying to make

BLOODY HALF WIT FUCKFACES YOUR FAGGY BAND WOULDNT BE SHITE WITHOUT ME BAND BEIN AROUN

go to bed you drunk

Sounds like you're not TRYIN

>being a teenager is so confusing, how do I belong??
>liking x will grant me special hipster superiority and give something to jerk off to with other hipsters
>oh no! I don't actually enjoy listening to x, now I won't fit in, HELP ME Sup Forums

You can try getting off Sup Forums.

AAH TO HELL WITH YA BLEEDIN BOURGEOISE CATCH ME IN THE PUB SEE WHAT HAPPENS

...

How stupid do you have to be to not understand pavement
>Malkmus
>weak vocals
yeah you're just retarded

I actually never paid much attention to any of the bands cited in the OP and Crooked Rain Crooked Rain is basically one of the greatest things

Much like the other guy above me said, maybe it isn't for you right now.

Why do they try to sing like each other?

well i mean if you're comparing them to weezer or sonic youth you're doing it all wrong

go listen to a few replacements albums and try again
my fav is Tim
if you want you can try the Silver Jews too maybe that'll tickle your fancy

listen to "Pueblo" off Wowee Zowee, their 3rd album. its the best pavement song.

calm down bro

You haven't heard their masterpiece, then. Listen to this. It's one of the best albums of the '90s.

Exquisite taste there, user. I'd put Grounded a tier above it though.

youtube.com/watch?v=e2Nsy4h8rD4

i'd say grounded or kennel district off wowee
frontwards is the best pavement song

It's an unpopular opinion because it's wrong.

S&L>CR,CR>BTC>TT>WZ

wowee zowee ppl:
whyd they gotta put so many dumb tongue in cheek tracks like flux = rad and serpentine pad

the fleshed out songs are so amazing these just take away a lil imo

dae wrong opinion????

No

Yes

Some bands like Sonic Youth and Swans actually have good music that stands apart from their most celebrated albums. If someone made this thread about one of those bands, I could definitely make some recs from their discography based on what they already like.
