You chose Pavement...WHOAH!!! Somebody's got some taste in the AOL offices...Kudos for this one. Personally, I would have gone with "There is no castration fear" from Pavement's "We Dance" but hey...I ain't complaining:)

steve malkmus is a latter day bob mould with a sprinkling of frank black thrown in for good measure, pavement is the best thing to ever come out of stockton ca. Spin Magazine perenially places both of their first two albums high in the all time top 100. that being said, this is far from their best opening line.

baha!
who listens to this?!!!
you people say that some people dont like this just because its not on the top 40, but that has nothing to do with it! i pretty much only listen to stuff that's not in the top fourty and i think this sucks. they seriously could have come up with something better than this. Let people have their own opinions.

seriously mate, i thought the same thing. just listen to Stereo, Gold Soundz and Cut Your Hair again once or twice. They're a better band the second and third time around
