A decade after the band’s dissolution, Pavement’s music has proven itself to have an evergreen quality. To be sure, it’s all very much of its time and no band aside from perhaps Guided By Voices better epitomizes the sound and style of 1990s

'Slanted & Enchanted' is my second favorite album ever. I would not give it 10.

No such thing as a 10 in my book.

The only 10s are, like, Zooey Deschanel and that red head from Mythbusters. Matador is also going to press up an "alternate tracklist" version of the best of for Record Store Day. The band chose the winner from 1200 entries. This is the sequence:

1. Zurich Is Stained (SLANTED AND ENCHANTED)
2. Trigger Cut/Wounded-Kite At :17 (SLANTED AND ENCHANTED)
3. Grave Architecture (WOWEE ZOWEE)
4. Unfair (CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN)
5. …And Carrot Rope (TERROR TWILIGHT)
6. Shady Lane / J Vs. S (BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS)
7. Two States (SLANTED AND ENCHANTED)
8. Fame Throwa (SLANTED AND ENCHANTED)
9. Cut Your Hair (CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN)
10. Here (SLANTED AND ENCHANTED)
11. Extradition (WOWEE ZOWEE)
12. Stereo (BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS)
13. The Hexx (TERROR TWILIGHT)
14. Shoot The Singer (1 Sick Verse) (WATERY, DOMESTIC EP)
15. Kennel District (WOWEE ZOWEE)
16. Price Yeah! (SLAY TRACKS 1933-1969 EP)
17. No Life Singed Her (SLANTED AND ENCHANTED)
18. Stop Breathin’ (CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN)
19. Type Slowly (Live) (TIBET FREEDOM CONCERT COMP)
20. Fin (BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS)
21. Forklift (DEMOLITION PLOT J-7 EP)
22. Fight This Generation (WOWEE ZOWEE)
23. Box Elder (SLAY TRACKS 1933-1969 EP)

Might have to snag that, I like the eccentric selections.

Max, my 'creative' tracklist was better, and i blame the bong hits that the Pavement Decision Committee took that clouded their judgement.

btw, can a Pavement LP that doesn't include "Angel Carver Blues/Mellow Jazz Docent" actually receive a perfect rating?

No.

"Max, my 'creative' tracklist was better" Modesty on full display here! Yeah, yours was better. I was at the record store today and they had all the new budget vinyl reissues of the Pavement LPs available. Nice to see that. Matador is also selling all five of the full-lengths plus Watery, Domestic for $50 right now:
