Pixies

Tame
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.

Surfer Rosa>Bossanova>Doolittle>Trompe Le Monde I'd say.

My view is the exact opposite.

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.

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
