wl/wh. pavement has a few good songs on each of their albums, but their overall album quality is pretty terrible.

Not really, but I think I ended up voting for VU for some kinda reason like that.

pavement - played a big part in me moving away from rap and into more alternative music.

This seriously made me lol.

I can get with his idea of the Proud FAILure of the Replacements but he's off his goddamn rocker with NY.

And VU needs to win here to validate this entire process.

Not one of my preferred VU albums, but Pavement has never done shit for me.
