Best Pavement Album?
 

Just curious what the SY community thinks...

S+E or Perfect Sound Forever

Brighten The Corners for me.

they are all awesome, but my all time favorite will always be wwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooowwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeee
zzzzooooooowwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It's easy for me......WOWEE ZOWEE.

Should have voted for Terror Twilight… most underrated in my opinion, far better than Brighten the Corners!

Slanted and Enchanted.

What?! The polls here don't allow you click all the options?

Differant albums for differant times. But W.Z is fun to listen to while walking around Nyc

good poll! i seem to have picked the one noboday likes Terror Twilight.. its a close one though, it was a toss up between that and Wowee

difficult... it always used to be crooked rain, crooked rain for me because that was the first one i heard when it came out and it's the one that got me interested in them. but now i'm probably more leaning to either slanted+enchanted or wowee zowee... i haven't listened to any of their albums in a while though.

ok, wowee zowee it is.

This is a tough one for Chex. Is it CR,CR or Slanted? Well, i went with CR. i think this is the one that they developed THE pavement sound as i know it: the lazy, offkilter, slacker feel. i.e newark wilder, heavan is a truck, range life. Slanted has more energy and is more original amongst their records.

Slanted n Enchanted.....Perfume V, Two States, NO LIFE SINGED HER!!

I'm going to go with Wowee Zowee. Every song on that album is great and amazing it's simply one of the best albums ever.

However the output i listen to by pave most is the 2'nd disk of the crooked rain deluxe edition.

slanted and enchanted, by far this is the best pavement album.

I picked slanted & enchsanted, but my real pick is not a realm album but WESTING BY MUSKET AND SEXTANT DAMNIT!

haha. sneaky. Westing is fantastic. it's in my car right now. slow-mo.

yeah, wbm&s is gold (watery domestic too...)

for some reason i can't vote but my vote goes to

CROOKED RAIN CROOKED RAIN

by a hair over slanted and enchanted; the ones i've heard so far

S&E is amazing, and it used to be my fav until I bought CRCR. I really like both, but I disagree with Pitchfork voting them both perfect albums.

Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain- the drummer upgrade worked out good.

slanted & enchanted and crooked rain crooked rain are BOTH PERFECT ALBUMS


PERFECT!


she's got the radio active and it makes me feel OK I don;t feel OK

i can't make a choice....i love "S&E" and "Crooked Rain..."

Slanted and Enchanted

it's Brighten the Corners.

it's not fair to choose between s&S and crcr... both are just too good and show both sides of the band in the best way... esp since crcr it actually gelled them as a band and less a recording project type o deal.

CR CR is soo lovely.

SLANTED & ENCHANTED!!!!!!

CROOKED RAIN CROOKED RAIN!!!!

WESTING BY MUSKET & SEXTANT!!!!

one half of any of the aforementioned albums tops the entirety of woweee zoweee

you can't go wrong my man, its music. everything irie alright?!

hey, that kid's doing what i'm doing!
rock on lil dude!

(listening to crcr btw)

Crooked Rain is the favourite...but Terror Twilight is wayy underrated

top 3 Pavement lps

Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain reigns but
Wowee Zowee is a close second
Brighten the Corners is the underrated one

Only Pavement I still own is Westing by Musket and Sextant, and yes I like it.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain is my favorite...

'Wowee Zowee' is my preference.

CRCR has always been my overall favorite, but they are all outstanding albums! Each has its own unique sound and feel. Pavement will definitely always be one of my favorite bands. Too bad they broke up before I could see them and Malkmus went on to his mediocre solo career...

It ain't easy, but my ranking goes thusly:
1. Crooked Rain
2. Wowee Zowee
3. Terror Twilight
4. Slanted
5. Brighten the Corners

Crooked Rain IS aperfect album, but "Carrot Rope" is a perfect song

I voted S&E but Crooked Rain is a real close second in my opinion.
