#434 Pavement, 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain' (1994)

This is one of the most underrated albums of the past 30 years. Last time around, this album was a major highlight on the list for me. It was the first time I’d heard it and I’ve listened to it many times since. On their second album, Pavement delivered a 5-star album of slacker rock. An album that surely inspired artists like Violent Soho, Mac DeMarco, Speedy Ortiz, Car Seat Headrest, Courtney Barnett, Modest Mouse etc.
