Pixies (alternative, favorite bands, albums, Nirvana, tracks)

Cripes, I am just totally IN AWE!!~!11 at how good Doolittle and Surfer Rosa are. How the hell do you make records that good!

Also, this band's influence upon Nirvana becomes so evident from listening to both records.

Which of the two do people think is the better record? My personal viewpoint lies firmly on the side of Doolittle.

Doolittle is def the best album, all the great songs are on it like Monkey Gone To Heaven, Wave Of Mutilation and Hey. My next fav would be Bossanova, Joey's guitar work is just awesome on it. I'm not a big fan of Trompe Le Monde though, the songs just aren't good enough.

I`d rank the albums like this:

Surfer Rosa
Doolittle
Trompe Le Monde
Come On Pilgrim
Bossanova

If i'm allowed to be cheeky and put Surfer Rosa and Come On Pilgrim together like on the CD then that would be my fave, easily.
I have a lot of love for Trompe Le Monde too, its nice and loud and Frank's screaming has always been the best part of the music for me, he outdoes himself on The Sad Punk.

i never really understood the pixies, but i do love 'gouge away'

Huge fan of the Pixies, one of my favourite bands....

Favourite album has to be Doolittle with Sufra Rosa coming a very close second...

Favourite song would have to be a toss up between 'Debaser' and 'Where is my Mind'

Neither did i before i got into them, when i was younger i just didn't get it. But as soon as i picked up Doolittle it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

I'd rate them:
-Doolittle
-Surfer Rosa
-Bossanova
-Come on Pilgrim
-Trompe le Monde (only album that never grabbed me)

Haven't heard the live album. Doolittle was a kick in the face when I first heard it... Amazing album. Everything aside from Trompe le Monde is essential (though I know lots of people love it).
