In some ways, Pavement are the anti-Mats. Where the Replacements made the mistake of striving for greatness despite their own self-destructive impulses, Pavement embraced disaffection and carelessness and made a career of it.

With my newfound apathy towards Pavement, this also is an easy choice.

Mats.

I have no issues with Slanted and Enchanted. I'm in the camp of it being my favorite album of theirs (although it's close with Wowee Zowee). I

That said, Mats.

This whole venture has got me listening to them more lately.

I went with Pavement, but wouldn't argue that it is the best choice.

pavement.

even though i've known and liked the replacements longer, the thought of how angry a possible pavement vs. radiohead final would make some people around here is too much to pass up.

Pavement...carelessness


Of course its careless, its careless because its a rock n' roll album with a tornado for a soul, that spins on pure adrenaline, that careers out of control, unstoppable, a force of nature, disintegrating everything it touches.

While, on the other hand, Let It Be is a nice, even superior, little pop record but ultimately slightly sappy and suburban, the sort of record that would shed tears over some unattainable cheerleader.

i like the Pavement a lot more, but they are clearly a very suburban band.

So rock n' roll is careful? You are disagreeing with your own description of the band!

And don't confuse music with the mirage of personnel Santana.
