Pavement was my favorite band for a while before I settled on SY. I think this was '98 or '99. They only held the top spot for about a week, though, and eventually fell to the Nirvana/Pixies combo that dominated that era of my life. Looking back, I actually prefer them to both Nirvana and the Pixies, but they don't work well as a "favorite" for me. They're not the kind of band you can listen to in any state of mind, (though they do offer music for several moods).
