This got interesting quick. Some matchups I had to abstain from, not because I didn't know the artists but didn't feel qualified to make a judgement.

>>71975261

That's a silly standard, I'd rather have someone who's very familiar with only two of an artist's albums than someone who listened to each album once.

In my opinion, pavement is an incredible band. malkmus's songwriting is one-of-a-kind. The melodies, lyrics, and instrumentation are all among the best in pop/rock.

>>71975343
Outkast obv. B of C is slow boring drivel.

>>71975868
lol m8. how many songs have boris written? GBV have more Amazing songs than boris have songs at all.

>>71975851
Still boring overly/ironically sappy indie rock.

>>71976039
Pavement is trash. Even if half of Swans discography is somewhat trivial and boring (Love of Life), still better than shit indie rock. I have an undying hatred of Pavement. Ever since I heard their first song, I felt a spiritual wave of hate enter my soul. The song was not even that bad. It was just so meh.
