dalconnsuch:
i don't think i could NOT listen to bands from the olden days, music is ageless

kudos to liking crookers

and yes i'm still saddened over the death of pavement

*gets hsi crooked rain album and sobs for the next twenty minutes*

Wasteroo:
Pavement's breakup never really saddened me per se, they put out enough great stuff while they were together that I'm too busy listening to Wowee Zowee, Slanted and Enchanted, and Crooked Rain to really care.

In all honesty, if you listened to them after hearing all the rabid worship that goes on, you'd probably just end up being disappointed anyway.

imapiratearg:
In all honesty, I think it's deserved praise.  As far as my memory serves me, I think they are more sparsely mentioned than, say, Boris, Slint, Bedhead, and Sloan as well as a couple of others.

Wasteroo:
Perhaps on this particular forum. But if you look on Pitchfork, for instance, the love for the album is completely insane. And when I mentioned that he might be disappointed I wasn't saying anything about the band's quality; all in all, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is probably my favorite album of all time, and it totally deserves most, if not all, of the praise leveled at it.

I hope that didn't sound like the rantings of a fanboy.

Thrillho:
I think it's fair to say I'm never going to listen to it. The constant droning praise, it's like they're this forum's Beatles. And I can never quite get past the name 'Neutral Milk Hotel.' It's like, 'what's three random words that might fit together? Hmm, something that suggests we don't have a stance on anything... some sort of dairy product... and a place you can stay the night... Unbiased Cheese Travelodge?'
