Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (containing their minor hit and GAR fave, Cut Your Hair) is their best record and where they peaked.

Spit on a Stranger and Carrot Rope were the two stand-outs on Terror Twilight which was definitely the death gasp of a band who'd been out of ideas since Wowee Zowee.

"That's not how I wanted to go out. No way. I did it myself, man. DIY style. I didn't need a whole bunch of doctors and fancy medical equipment and the comfort of assorted friends and family to pass away in a highly publicized manner. Fuck that. All I needed was a shotgun, some heroin, a couple of Valiums, and Automatic For The People spinning on the turntable. Simple. Perfect. Punk rock."

interesting. i was just wondering if it's just me... did i just get old? i was listening to the live nirvana album today and loving it, and kind of missing the era from 90-97ish.... and wondering if music changed, or did i just change?

i do feel as well that something is lacking these days, and the reunions, though fun at times, are a bit of a testament to how bad things are now, or maybe it's just how different things are now. who knows? i miss my youth.

I like pavement, though possibly not as zealously as some...

and they definitely had their "hooks". I smell a pavement 10'er of their hookiest songs on the way but, if you like "Cut Your Hair", there's a lot more out there...
