7 comments so far (post your own)And Velvet Underground deserved to go in? From what I can gather about non-Pavement fans, they just haven't made it past Slanted and Enchanted. Or they're crazed with Billy Corgan. I'm a huge fan, and often the importance of Slanted escapes me. But given the conditions to which it was recorded... However, the real gem of their discography, to me, has always been Crooked Rain. And Gold Soundz is about as important as anything put to tape in the 90s. Pavement was more about melody. And they had a ton compared to their alt-rock counterparts. Not to mention that Brighten the Corners is probably one of the finest guitar albums from the period. Then Wowee Zowee is an excellent mess. No band had a better four album run in the 90s. Posted by Brian on Tuesday, 12/17/2013 @ 10:37am |

A friend of mine who plays in local bands knows one of the guys in Pavement. Both are from Louisville originally. I will mention this to him. Posted by Paul in KY on Tuesday, 12/20/2022 @ 05:29am |
They will be nominated after 2030 and inducted. They are so important to indie music. They will easier be voted at that time. However, it is a little early now for their induction as other earlier pioneers like the Smiths, the Replacements, Pixies and Sonic Youth have not been recognized yet.
