I had no idea that p4k named that the best song of the decade. I just looked that up. Oh my *massive facepalm*

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.

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?

I voted SP btw! "Adore" sounds way better than anything Pavement ever did.

SP has about 50 songs that fit that description imo
― some dude, Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
sounding good was never Pavement's strong suit, admittedly
I meant the whole album, rly, never was sure what style one followed for song titles v albums.

Corgan definitely has very little idea of what music of his is good and why it's good, but he's made enough of it that there's plenty worth hearing

Corgan, among others, taught me how important vocals are. I can't get past how gross and ugly his voice sounds.

I never thought of his voice as gross and ugly. Pavement's singer, on the other hand, sounds like a very poor man's Jeff Tweedy. After looking at some pics of Pavement's singer just now, I'm led to believe that he's an anal retentive jerk.

Not that there are a whole lot of you on this particular thread, but I really wish Corgan would stop furthering diluting the brand so that we can reach that point where the Pumpkins become more like, I don't know, Rush (to pull an answer out of my back pocket), and they can be judged solely on the music instead of some weird projection of what their "fans" must be like. Rush may not be the best example, but its the first band that came to mind when I was trying to think of a band that spend times packing arenas and being really popular before becoming a somewhat dismissed, "uncool" band with a dedicated fanbase. Of course the big difference is Rush kept on moving forward and made more good records than bad one during the thin years and were better able to come through it with a fairly strong legacy intact. At this point Corgan seems intent on destroying any and all goodwill. But, for my money, the run from Gish to Adore was pretty fucking amazing, especially when you consider all the great non-album material.

But, for my money, the run from Gish to Adore MACHINA was pretty fucking amazing, especially when you consider all the great non-album material.
― Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 05:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Nah, Machina had way too much bloat. Combine the best of it with the best of Machina II and then maybe we can talk.

You're entitled to your opinion and all but that is o_O to me. I mean, picking that album above Gish, Siamese Dream, or Mellon Collie is crazy.

Try, Try, Try is the only post-Adore song I'll fuck with (besides Zwan's Iron Maiden cover, but I think that's all Pajo...?)
I could v well be wrong in tis though...jon/via/chi 2.0 totally otm regarding everything else tho!

I saw Zwan three times before their album dropped, once in Indy for the acoustic Djali Zwan thing and twice during their five-night Metro stand and I was really excited about them - one hell of a live band. Pajo and Sweeney had a huge impact live and were given plenty of time to shine. But of course it all came crashing down when Corgan turned back into a control freak in the studio and made it all about himself.
