Silver Jews or Pavement?

[Josh C]

Thought this might be an interesting idea for a thread.

I can't deny the awesomeness of Pavement, but I have to say Silver Jews.

[SideshowTim]

not much of a contest. pavement. two perfect albums to one. the rest of their catalogue is stronger than the rest of the jews' catalogue too.

[box elder]

pavement. but it's hardly a blowout

[Beast]

Both are great bands, but Pavement easily win this.

[Moe Nopoly]

Pavement gets my vote.
Haven't heard much from Silver Jews.

[jase]

Definitely Silver Jews

[nathaniel]

jews by a lot. i only really love like 10 pavement songs

[anthony]

jewz. Far better lyrics and music. i also have no emotional attachment to pavement. i find the silver jews to be extremely uplifting.

[gheorghe]

pavement by a fucking mile

also, what tim said

[:bang:]

pavement easily

[Milhouse Van Houten]

the jicks lololololololol

[gil]

pavement by a ludicrously large measurement of distance.

[gonz]

pavement by a kilometer

[raheem]

pavement by a gallon

[AllSussedOut]

psoi

[Milhouse Van Houten]

not but seriously...pavement.

[brentholomew]

pavement. i love american water as much as the next guy and the new album blew me away but certain parts of the other records are just zzz

[nathaniel]

american water is marginally better than 3 other silver jews records that are nearly perfect

[AllSussedOut]

right

the answer is still pavement, though

[caribou]

i'm not even touching this

but some of you dudes need to listen to natural bridge more or something cause your opinion of the joos is way off

[Cerpin Taxt]

pavement. i love the first three of theirs and like the last two. jews i love aw and the new one, like everything else.

it is close though.

[grissom]

I think I'll go with silver jews, mostly for berman's lyrics. they're both really fantastic bands though, and neither has recorded a bad album.

[jase]

Yeah, Berman is probably my favourite lyricist.

I've never really got into Pavement that much, though I only have Slanted & Enchanted

[Eddie]

you guys sure know how to take two interesting bands and make it into one boring thread

[Cerpin Taxt]

maybe you want to listen to crooked rain before you pass judgment then.

or "the natural bridge" if you think berman's never made a sub-par album.

[Josh C]

I think Natural Bridge is just as good as AW to be honest. no way is it sub-par

[grissom]

I definitely wouldn't go as far as saying natural bridge is as good as american water, but even as their weakest it's still a good record. dallas is one of my favorite silver jews tracks.

[box elder]

i love natural bridge. you guys are fags

[caribou]

boy wants a car from his dad
dad says, first you gotta cut that hair
boy says, hey dad jesus had long hair
and dad says that's right son
but jesus walked everywhere

[Springfield, Kentucky]

i agree. i picked pavement, but i still think it was a pretty close one. good poll.

[grübermeister]

Only heard American Water from da jews but i much prefer Pavement.

is it bad that i don't know what song that's from? truthfully, all of the lyrics from both bands get mixed up in my head until i actually listen to the song.

[My Little Needle]

overall I guess I'd say pavement but I like american water better than any pavement album. I got into pavement kinda late so I don't feel much of an attachment to having crooked rain being the best thing ever or anything.
