At the moment, i'm going through "Doolittle" and "Bossanova" and there really is something special about this band. Quality songs! Some guy said they were a sonic youth ripoff but i don't know any of youth's music so i can't really say much, what do you think? Anymore recommendations of these guys are welcome. |

It's actually "Pixies", no "The" there, actually,... actually. Hey (Pixies joke), get "Complete B-Sides" |
||||||||
|
|

oops they are not crap, recycle |

several of them are pleasantly plump. sonic youth ripoff! not even close. if you like one album, you'll probably like them all. i used to love 'em back in the eighties when i went to college. |

i know Sonic Youth a lot more than Pixies (whose only record i have is Surfer Rosa), but i can tell Surfer Rosa is nothing like Sonic Youth. got Surfer Rosa some months ago (maybe a bit over a year, i'm not sure), at the beginning i was listening to it all the time... now it's been a while since i haven't, but i think it's a great record anyway. |

muh? |

that was a reply to recycle i'll probably be buying more pixies - the current ones are overheating. the thing is, i'm really hungry for good rock music at the moment. |
||||||||
|

Hmm they don't sound much like teh Youth. But which is better, hmm I cannot say. |

Surfer Rosa, Doolittle and Bossa Nova are great !! |

DEBASER!!! |

whether one likes pixies or not is irrelevant to whether they should listen to cocteau twins |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pixies are the best. one of my favouritest bands. "surfer rosa" is one of the most perfect albums I have ever heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recycle: no thanks i've heard it, it's okay thatne: i've been meaning to get my hands on some cocteau twins, but they're not really twins, two guys and a girl, cocteau triplets? "surfer rosa" it is. uzim has it, qrter recommends it. it must be good. dog belch, i think i'll dig into the b-sides when im a big time fan wanting everything they ever made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
get the release of "surfer rosa" that includes their debut, the EP "come on pilgrim". it's an excellent package. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pixies are great. i saw em play a couple months ago and it was tons of fun. that music truly is meant to be heard live, theres just so much energy flowing through the whole crowd, which consists of people ranging from 40-something office workers wearing a polo shirt as a dress-down to 15 year old middle school girls smoking pot. caribooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu cariboooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu |

the albums after doolittle totally blow. hard. with a vengance. 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no no....come on now thats not true. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.. it's not as black and white as that, but it also holds quite a lot of truth. "bossanova" sounds like an 80s pop album with a production that verges on the over-production - very few good songs and a lot of filler. "tromple le monde" sounds like a band on its last legs - a few good songs, but a lot of uninspired lesser material. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh go away - bossanova and tromp are two of their best, if i were to pick an album were i think they kind of dropped the ball, that would be doolittle. |
||||||||
|

sonic youth rrip-off, i've hearrd it all, hearrd it all i tell thee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't listen to them anymorre. i've overr played them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Actually that b-sides collection is one of their finer releases, i really recommend it! check out songs such as river euphrates, manta ray, winterlong, into the white, dancing the manta ray. Those are great. In fact, check out any song that has Kim singing. To dumb ears it might be a Sonic Youth rip off... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i don't know trompe-le-monde but i've been told by a fan that it's not very good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its actually quite good, just not their greatest if i were to put their stuff in order i would do it like so: bossanova surferrosa come on pilgrim tromp le monde doolittle |
||||||||
|

hehe, you'rre silly. |

||||||||
|

ha ha bossanova at one! you are very silly! |

As Nelton says, the b-sides compilation does house some of THE DEFINING Pixies songs, such as River Euphrates, In Heaven, live fave "Into the White", Vamos (live), Manta Ray PLUS some of my faves, Dave Lovering's paean to Debbie Gibson "Make Believe", "Bailey's Walk" and Theme from Narc. Though qrter is right, Surfer Rosa+Come on Pilgrim = Unbeatable value. Fun fact: My fave Pixies song is No. 13 Baby. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I love that song too! because it's a great song, you know. |
||||||||
|
|

|

"build high" is another manic highpoint on that cd. |
||||||||
|
|

whatever you do NEVER buy and/or read John Mendellsohns book about the Pixies called "Gigantic" - came out this year. I did both and it is one of the worst musical biographies I have ever read. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
