I read this off Wikipedia the other day.
The Fall's primary member,
Mark E. Smith, would often angrily claim through the years that Pavement was a "rip-off" of his band
[3] and that they didn't "have an original idea in their heads."
Does anyone know any songs that I could listen to that would support Smith's claim? Or is this just bullshit and Pavement sound completely original. I haven't heard much of the Fall so I couldn't judge.
