Monkey Gone To Heaven
Hey
Where Is My Mind?

i refuse to believe Here Comes Your Man is a Pixies song. I mean I like it. But it doesn't include what makes Pixies one of my favorite bands... anyways it is kind of mediocre.

Here Comes Your Man (not your typical Pixies song I know, but I can't resist that lovely riff)
Something Against You
Brick Is Red
Debaser

They're my definite favourites, in no order.

My view is the exact opposite. :D

YES!
You rarely hear anybody lauding the album anymore. Personally, "Surfer Rosa" is one of those albums that I'll throw up on the stereo when I'm in a dark mood. The album really laid the foundation for a load of artists who followed the Pixies. Listen to "Where is my Mind" and do a quick comparison to Weezer's "Say it Ain't So". The structure (soft, melodic verse; loud chorus; soft verse; loud chorus; bridge; etc) is very similar, if not virtually the same. The Pixies were very influential, so I think it's a bit obtuse to claim that "Surfer Rosa", the pinnacle of their musical prowess, is "overrated". I think the term is a bit overused anymore....I'd like to see some legitimate critique, cogent arguements as to why the album is undeserving of whatever praise it has recieved.

bossanova sucks

I think Doolittle is slightly better than Surfer Rosa, but they're both so good that it hardly matters. It's like having £10trillion or £11trillion*, you're rich either way.

Substitute '£' for '$' for our yankee friends :)

You just proved that your Pixies opinions are useless
