Week over week, we're going to count down the 50 essential Pavement tracks that you selected with your very own top 20 ballots.
I tabulated the results using an advanced abacus and some spilled toothpicks on the floor.
And all that's left for us to reveal is this week's track.
How will your favorite song fare in the rating? You'll need to tune in or whatever the podcast equivalent of tuning in is every week to find out. So there's that.
