Which track here would you use to convince a skeptical friend that Pavement is worth their time?

Brighten the Corners by Pavement · Starlings of the Slipstream

Kind of a fun question without any prior knowledge of the band. I'd probably serve up Embassy Row. I really loved the Velvet Underground vibes to open before they slam into a quintessential indie rocker. If I knew someone had more time, though, I'd tell them to start at We Are Underused and let it ride through the end of the album. It really closes out well with a massive breadth in sounds and super interesting songwriting.

@Jangles Nice pick with “Embassy Row”! When I was a teenager that was the song on this album that I immediately gravitated to, all for the reasons you said! And “We Are Underused” is such an underrated (quasi pun intendedc there haha) song on this amazing album
