i have a personal attachment to the pixies. My roommate at the time back in the early 90's said to me, yeah…I've done the lighting for a local band and from what I understand it was the pixies. I didn't know who they were at the time. I lived in a loft space on Thayer St. in Boston. 24 Thayer to be exact. The pixies were a Boston band that I knew of from a friend or two but at the time it was after the fact. i think Peter Chung from Downtown Recorders had a lot to do with the promotion of the pixies going large and the fact that they were touring Europe. That whole 1990's scene was epic and this local band hit me across the head as did Think Tree as well as stomp box. good stuff.
Not even a mention for Bone Machine, and btw, Where Is My Mind is overrated.
I wonder what's number one? Is it Alec Eifel?
literally no mention of how fucking AWE-INSPIRING the keyboard in Alec Eiffel is? lame
Break my Body not even in the honorable mentions?
I really like crackity jones
the song 40 secs in is called Bone Machine not Mr. Grieves get it right please
FFFFFFFFFHHHHHHHIUUUUUUUUUUUUIUUUKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!………….thankyou
IMO 'Debaser' is their masterpiece! IMHO though, this band really needed to write more not less pop tunes and also not hammer away at material with more obscure lyric content and self-consciously atonal sounds. Artists often resent their god-given abilities. The Pixies had a real ability to write great pop tunes. not so much compose a kind of ''ambitious'', more -''poetic'', superficially ''avant garde''-ish material.
As Robert Christgau once observed about Pere Ubu's 'Modern Dance' LP: B+ because of ''Too much 'Radio Etiopia', not enough 'Redondo Beach'''. I suppose I don't really have their sense of humor either but who would?
This was basically all doolittle
I Bleed?
Caribou > Where is my mind?
Honorable mention: Every other Pixies song not included in the top 10.
Probably the less incoherent list WatchMojo has ever released.
Dig for Fire was a really weird choice…any of the Honorable Mentions were far better choices. Solid list otherwise.
I always thought 'Gigantic' was a song about a chick in love with this black man, and he was real 'big' . He had a gigantic member. "A big big love" "and his teeth were white as snow" -black people's teeth many times seem really really white.
U-mass and Tony's theme should have been on this list
U-mass and Tony's theme should have been on this list
U-mass and Tony's theme should have been on this list
Is She Weird should have been on the list. And Caribou should have been on the list, not just in "mentions".
SLICING UP EYEBALLS!
Alec Eiffel is fucking awesome.
Motorway to Roswell, Rock Music, The Sad Punk, into the White, I Bleed, River Euphrate and Tony's Theme are awesome too, I'm so sick of Where is my mind
im so god damn glad happy Hey is 3rd c":
INTO THE WHITE
PS. I completely agree with them about Here comes your man, never liked it.
nimrod's son :v
0:42 Bone Machine not Mr. Grieves
Totally agree with this Top
I've been tired should have been in the top 5
Frank Black is a god. Pixies are one of the best bands ever. and theyre authentic. this is the 666 coment.
My favorite is Ana
I haven't even begun watching this but if it's not Debaser I'm going to be slightly annoyed. They released a completely perfect album, "Surfer Rosa."
Fight Club sucks. Pixies rule.
