The discography of Pavement, a Stockton, California-based indie rock group, consists of five studio albums, three double-length reissues, one compilation, ten extended plays, and five singles. 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.

Pavement was formed in 1989 by Stephen Malkmus (guitars, vocals) and Scott Kannberg (guitars), although Malkmus stated that at this stage they "weren't a real band." [Jovanovic (2004). p. 61] Pavement's debut, the 1989 EP "Slay Tracks (1933-1969)", was recorded in a day with drummer and producer Gary Young [Jovanovic (2004). p. 65] and released on Kannberg's self-owned label Treble Kicker. [Jovanovic (2004). p. 67] The band subsequently released the EPs "Demolition Plot J-7" and "Perfect Sound Forever" on Drag City Records, and in 1992 released their debut album, "Slanted and Enchanted", on Matador Records. The band was joined by additional percussionist Bob Nastanovich, who assisted the increasingly erratic Young in keeping time, [Jovanovic (2004). p. 90] and later by bassist Mark Ibold. [Jovanovic (2004). p. 101] The 1992 EP "Watery, Domestic" was the band's first recording with their two new members, and the last with Young. [McElligatt, Colin. " [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/on_second_thought/pavement-watery-domestic.htm Pavement - Watery, Domestic - On Second Thought] ". "Stylus Magazine", 01 September 2003. Retrieved on 16 October 2007.] Young, known for his bizarre onstage behavior with the band, was replaced by Steve West in 1992. [Smith, Jason W. and Sprague, David. " [http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=pavement Pavement] ". "Trouser Press". Retrieved on 08 October 2007.] After this, Nastanovich's role in the band expanded to playing keyboards. [Hage, Erik. " [http://wc10.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fpftxq9hldse~T1 Bob Nastonovich > Biography] ". Allmusic. Retrieved on 08 October 2007.]

Pavement's first three EPs were re-released together for the 1993 compilation "Westing (By Musket & Sextant)". The band's next studio album release, 1994's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain", featured the singles "Cut Your Hair" and "Gold Soundz" which nearly broke Pavement into the mainstream. [Begrand, Adrien. " [http://www.popmatters.com/music/features/041115-pavement.shtml Pavement: Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: L.A.'s Desert Origins - PopMatters Music Review] ". PopMatters. Retrieved on 14 October 2007.] 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;" [Kemp, Mark. " [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/pavement/albums/album/238394/review/5943554/wowee_zowee Pavement: Wowee Zowee : Music Reviews] ". "Rolling Stone", 02 February 1998. Retrieved on 16 October 2007.] the album did not sell as well as "Crooked Rain". The band's 1997 album "Brighten the Corners" "brought [the band] back" according to West, [Jovanovic (2004). p. 163] although shortly after the 1999 release of "Terror Twilight" Malkmus broke the band up. [Jovanovic (2004). p. 193–194] Since then Pavement's former members have worked on various side projects, and the band's first three albums have been reissued featuring previously unreleased songs, b-sides, and compilation tracks.
