Pavement or Interpol.

Ok, so Pavement was Matador's (I think at least) biggest name during pretty much all of the 90's and now Interpol seem to have taken that up that role.
Which do you prefer? In my opinion, Interpol can't even hold a candle to my beloved Pavement.

 

musically, they really arent alike...and i didnt even think interpol were that popular yet...


i perfer pavement, but interpol is alright

 

pavement by far. lol pavement brings back some REEEEAAALLLLY stoned memories.

 

i prefer interpol, but like someone has already said you cant really compare them musically. interpol sound alot more like other types of music i listen too, and i wasnt really into much music when pavement started, so im still sort of learning about them.

 

I haven't heard any Interpol stuff. But I like Paavement...so I guess I'll go with Pavement

 

I said Interpol but I will always, always love Pavement.

 

picked Interpol because "Turn On The Bright Lights" is one of my favorite albums of this decade ....and the Pavement album I have is not in my top ten of 90's albums

 

are they not popular in america? there not huge in the uk, but are very well known in indie circles.

 

not comparable. neither are that original, but pavement is a little bit less hero worship. interpol are just boring NYC hacks; one of the worst commercial "indie" bands out there, imo.

 

Agreed Interpol is Justa new band with I'm sure mUch love For pavement.
I love them.

Give the INterpol guys some cred for trying

 

pavement!

 

Go interpol!

oooh, poll's now 50/50!

 

I just ruined the 50/50 status. I kinda wish I could've voted for both. It's really close. I don't really listen to that much Pavement anymore, but I used to think they were the best thing since sliced bread.

 

Pavement, used to listen to them all the time and still have a special place...Interpol doesn't sound bad to my ears, but seem exactly like a Joy Division cover band.

 

wooooooyeah pavement!

 

Interpol isn't that great. I thought Pavement was overatted, too, but I'd pick them over the New York comers anyday.

Interpol think they're so cool posing in their black suits and aviator sun-glasses. All their songs and both their albums sound identical. They have absolutely no skill in writing lyrics and they use all the same guitar chords.

If anyone was really doing their research, they'd check out the Editors instead of Interpol.

 

i think interpol are amazing. i see the joy division similarity, but i really don't think it's anywhere near the point of mimicry.

i have crooked rain crooked rain and while I really, really enjoy about 3/4 of the songs, it's nothing compared to TOTBL or even antics.

and yes interpol do have some of the worst lyrics ever. but i love them.
"i make money like fred astaire" hahaha

 

they both fuckin suck

 

pavement, for sure.

 

id have to say pavement as well
