Shasta OTM about Boston. I mean I guess they're similar as far as being the studio projects of megalomaniacs but yeah, the Boston dude has decent pipes.

Boston's riffs still deeply resonate 35 years later. Pumpkins? gtfo.

MARK MY WORDS
35 years after Gish or Siamese Dream, nobody but a cult niche of awkward dudes will even care... unlike the legions of rockers still ever-faithful to MORE THAN A FEELING to this very day.

Both bands are way better than fucking Boston.

I'd just like to say fuck this thread for all of you saying "oh i remember "Today" from when I was a kid" THANK YOU FOR MAKNG ME FEEL OLD.
I saw both bands in the early 90 in a little pub before either got famebloated. They were good then. Then they sucked. Its kind of a tie.

I wouldn't suprised if Malkmus was a sincere Pumpkins fan. His lines about them in "Range Life" could be read as ambigously complimentary.
― Idgi Pop (KMS), Saturday, 12 February 2011 01:36 (thirteen years ago) link
i envision spiral and d'arcy in a slap fight, iha pretending he knows karate before nastanovich kicks his ass, ibold and westie staring at the sky, corgan and malkmus battling with epees and malkmus slowly cutting him up like indigo montoya did to christopher guest.
but jimmy chamberlin and gary young are just mauling each other mma stylee until everyone else turns away in disgust at the carnage.
― mookieproof, Saturday, 12 February 2011 02:01 (thirteen years ago) link
gish is awesome, an all time psych rock jam, and there are good songs after that, but come on, this isn't fair. malkmus solo >>>>> smashing pumpkins

I always had this pet hypothesis that SP fans were just big romantics in one sense of the word or another. For ppl with heavy feelings! For ppl who like dragons, you know?
― Peter Pepsi (Abbbottt), Saturday, 12 February 2011 05:55 (thirteen years ago) link
I got into SP because they really touched an emotional nerve with me at age 15 + I liked that there was a lot of makeup in their videos. Pavement I got into bcz my friends and I saw them play on 120 Minutes (iirc) and we thought Bob Nastonovich had to be the developmentally delayed brother of one of the four other guys on the screen.
― Peter Pepsi (Abbbottt), Saturday, 12 February 2011 05:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I no longer think that btw, Bob seems like a sharp dude in interviews.

can't see how pavement could possibly lose, given they made the obvious best song of the decade "gold soundz"

not getting thoust joke? pavement appeals to me on the basis's of it's occasional brutality, it's sawing guitars, it's peculiar riffs/melodies and of all, malkmus's mere existence. i think "my bloody valentine >" every time i listen to a smashing pumpkins... it's overkill of the simplicity mbv achieved with that crushing guitar sound. but anyways, what i'm getting to is that the bends is my favvie radiohead album. i tried making all the aforementioned relevant... i tried :(

I dl'd Wowee Zowee last week in hopes of bettering my knowledge of Pavement. I guess they kind of sound like The Band if the Band didn't care much for tunes.

sounding good was never Pavement's strong suit, admittedly
