Re: Pixies

Re: Pixies

John, you forgot Monkey Gone to Heaven. That song makes the hairs on my arms stand on edge!

Re: Pixies

Why not start at the start and work your way through?

You can pick up Sufarosa/Come on Pilgrim off eBay for under a £5!!!

Then after you've listened to that, then move onto Doolittle etc

Re: Pixies

Or why not just get the greatest hits? Being too young to remember them at the time, I got into them after seeing Placebo do a damn good live cover of Where is My Mind and have never looked back.

Re: Pixies

Don't buy the greatest hits. Why spend a tenner on that when you're going to buy all the studio albums in the end anyway?

Re: Pixies

Yeah - buy all their albums, get the B-Sides one too & at the BBC. The most consistently brilliant band that has ever been imho.

Re: Pixies

Cause you get Gil Norton version of 'Gigantic', which knocks spots off the original?

Re: Pixies

s'great...

but i prefer Gouge Away myself.

I still don't know why people miss the Pere Ubu tributes all over Pixies records though. Listen to Non Alignment Pact.

Re: Pixies

Just buy everything they've ever done. It's all on sale for a fiver in HMV - you can get all four albums plus "Come On Pilgrim" for £20. Trust me, it'll be the best £20 you ever spend.

I've had an obsession with 'I've Been Tired' these last few days.

"Monkey's gone to heaven = Best song EVER."

If about 300,000 other songs didn't exist.

Re: Pixies

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Come on Pilgrim.

Vamos is my favourite Pixies song... you must make sure it's the original Come on Pilgrim version though and not the re-recording of Surfer Rosa. It loses a lot of its magic second time around.

Enjoy it all!

Re: Pixies

Alright mr frankiegoes, re monkey gone to heaven, maybe it's not the best, maybe not even in the top 20; but I doubt you could name 299,980 songs that are better!

Shite, yer 18, look like yer 86, and you think Eddie Izzard is funny...

(Hey, I can't always have mr fullerov to bear the brunt of my teasing!)

Re: Pixies

Let's face it, the worst of the pixies is better than the best of anyone else. Well, maybe slight exaggeration but I don't think there's a single pixies song I dislike. Even Rock-a-my-Soul is cool.

What's wrong with Silver?
