This list does not include material performed by members or former members of Pavement that was recorded with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Silver Jews, Preston School of Industry, Free Kitten, The Crust Brothers, or any other associated solo or side projects.

[1] Pavement's debut, the 1989 EP Slay Tracks: 1933–1969, was recorded in a day with drummer and producer Gary Young[2] and released on Kannberg's self-owned label Treble Kicker.

The band was joined by additional percussionist Bob Nastanovich, who assisted the increasingly erratic Young in keeping time,[4] and later by bassist Mark Ibold.

[9] The 18-song follow-up to Crooked Rain, 1995's Wowee Zowee, was more experimental than its predecessor and was initially criticized as evidence that the "defiantly anti-corporate" band was "simply afraid to succeed;"[10] the album did not sell as well as Crooked Rain.

[12] Since then, Pavement's former members have worked on various side projects, and the band's five studio albums have been reissued featuring previously unreleased songs, b-sides, compilation tracks, and live performances.
