I like GBV, I just think Robert Pollard is a very good songwriter at his best, but I'm with you on Pavement. Maybe I need to give Slanted and Enchanted & Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain another shot, but they always just kinda bored me. I mean, they're not bad, but I never found them exciting either, or worthy of the overarching praise they receiver. (I mean, Pitchfork picked "Gold Soundz" as the #1 song of the 90s. Come the **** on.)

I like Spiritualized (and Spacemen 3), but I'm a sucker for that big, overproduced, take-you-on-a-magic-carpet-ride sound.
