    Haha, didn't think of them but fuck if I didn't listen to Pavement as much as anyone except PJ in the 90s.
    Not their best album but a really good one. Saw them a few years ago w/Sonic Youth. What an amazing concert.

    I saw them 3 times in 2010 for their reunion shows. I love the first 3 albums, and like their final 2. I think this is the consensus among most of their fans.

    I had never even heard of Pavement until I kept reading about Billy Corgan trashing them on grungereport.

    I like them better than Pumpkins.
    Personal choice. They are certainly weirder.
    Also, not crazy many of Corgan's opinions.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    A masterpiece. What "emo" should sound like. Too bad Weezer never released anything worth listening to after this.

    Haha, true but if we're talking best then Jimmy Eat World circa '97-'99 can't go unmentioned. Speaking of that band 'Static Prevails' was a pretty awesome 90's sophomore release.

    Besides VS, I would say the Foo Fighter's "There is Nothing Left to Lose" My favorite Foo's record by far. Not a huge fan of their first album.
    Foo's sophomore album was "The Colour and the Shape" and it's awesome - it was their best album to date IMO, and produced their biggest hit - Everlong.

    thefixer9 - There's Nothing Left To Lose was their third album, but also a great record! :D

    Damn!! I guess it was too early in the morning for me... :lol:

    Thanks though! I always forget about that album though...even though it's a great one! And hey, another fellow Everett fan! :wave:

    I'll add The Bends and The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion to my list of Aenima.

    The Bends was the first record to spring to mind, still my favourite of theirs.

    Oh, and The Downward Spiral!

    Unless you count Broken

    (freaking 5+ song EPs...count 'em or no?)

    No... it's an EP... really served it's purpose showing what was to come.
