This is my first post on this site, and what better way to do it than by praising the Pixies, right?

Funny this thread should come up. Listened to Doolittle for the first time in ages last night and it's still a blast. I've fell in love with 'Monkeys Gone To Heaven' all over again, and I'm stunned by it, as I'm convinced that it's Frank Blacks warning of the disaster that can be brought on by our damage to the environment. It's nice to view a song I thought I new inside out in a new light.
I was also surprised by 'Dead', which the White Stripes seem to have used as the foundation of their entire career.
Also, I listened to 'Silver' and actually enjoyed it for the first time.

The pixies were the first band to really open me up to non mainstream music. Although I am still surprised that they did not become more popular. I agree with the statement made about them still sounding exciting, sometimes I won't listen to them for awhile and then ill put on surfer rosa or doolittle and feel yhe excitement of when I first got into them way back in high school

It's been a while since i've seen any Pixies discussion here. I don't listen to them as frequently as i used to, but when i do i tend to binge on them. They certainly did open up a huge door for me a few years ago and got me into a lot of 80's and 90's American indie rock, i have them to thank for that.

It must've been earlier than that. They broke up in 1993.

Nice. I had the chance to see them in 2004 when they played a big outdoor gig with the Red Hot Chili Peppers but i couldn't get off work to go

a load of my friends went and they said the Pixies blew them off the stage.

Does anyone here still believe there'll ever be a fifth Pixies album?
