re: Pavement - Best Indie / Garage Band of the 90's?

Pavement or Archers of Loaf would be my pick for best 90s indie band. Unless Fugazi counts, but I don't think that's what people are thinking of when they say 90s indie.
I'm a Slanted and Enchanted guy, but I'll go against the grain and say my second favorite record of theirs is Brighten to the Corners. That album does not get enough love. It's great.
ETA: I love to Shudder to Think and I'm stunned anyone would sign a band from Dischord and expect that to go well for them. I think that was a "we can't sign Fugazi" kind of thing.

indie is such a b.s. term. it means anything nowadays. everyone's indie. some arse from buzzfeed will say mumford is indie. they're assholes, not indie. but what's the difference these days, anyways?

I almost included them, but I was associating the label with a sound
I also was trying to loo at artists that spanned the whole decade, thats why I didnt include Neutral Milk Hotel, Spoon or Modest Mouse, etc...
Yo La Tengo would need to be on the final ballot..
And Slanted Enchanted... yes! but pound for pound, Watery, Domestic EP is their best work to me!
