call me weird...but the only Pixies album i really enjoy anymore is Doolittle....whereas i still listen to most of the Violent Femmes stuff....although in all honesty not often

i also think i just have much better memories associated with Violent Femmes....the first time i smoke weed was at a Violent Femmes/B-52s show :).....if you put their self titled album on right now i could probably sing every word to every song without any thought

just taste and timing i guess

It's also cause that is a very good album Bob that album sets the tone of the band perfectly, it's a well made album especially considering it's their first one.

I like Violent Femmes a lot but their career has been pretty hit-or-miss, mostly miss honestly. So Pixies all the way for me.

Pixies here too. Surfer Rosa was their first album, btw. Not Doolittle.

VF had an amazing bassist though. Kim was great too but had a completely different style.

I really never ventured past the first VF. Anything else worth hearing? I like everything by Pixies.

I'm not really sure why these two bands are even comparable.

Bigger fan of the Pixies for sure.

I voted for The Pixies. They're awesome :)

Violent Femmes because they own my heart but honestly Pixies are probably more deserving. Still.
