Best pixies track

[Dillinger4]

ooo this is a hard one.

I quite like the UK surf version of Wave of Mutilation.

 

[david dissadent]

There are so many good ones, but just because of the closing scene too Fight Club I'll have to plug for "Where is my Mind. "

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

From what I've seen in the last bit, the Pixies have more in common with the Stranglers than with the beatles.

As Letterman called them, 'an incredibly intellectual rock group'.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Can't see the Stranglers similarities tbh. They were more like a surf group who had just taken ten tons of serious drugs.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

This song could have been written by the Stranglers.

 

[The Groke]

Bone Machine
Caribou
Broken Face
Holiday Song
Where Is My Mind
Dig For Fire
In to the White....


Ahhhh fuck off.


'tis a silly thread

 

[Yossarian]

Like a lot of the other posters on this thread, my favourite Pixies track is Surfer Rosa too.

If I had to pick just the one song, I guess it'd be Bone Machine, but ask me another day and you'd probably get another answer.

 

[Yossarian]

Damn it, now that I've started listening to The Pixies I'm getting even less work done than I was before...

 

[SpookyFrank]

Caribooooooooooooooooooou

 

[El Jefe]

This song could have been written by the Stranglers.

I can't imagine many things that sound less like The Stranglers, to be honest

 

[sleaterkinney]

There's too many, you would have trouble picking the best track on an album.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Although once I start listing the best Pixies tracks I'll probably never stop. I'm going to go for No. 13 baby, cos it's the best best best. I love the way it builds up from a seemingly innocuous track to the amazing room filling song that it is.

But also:

Rock music
Hey
Dig for fire (always makes me feel really optomistic)
Letter to Memphis
Palace of the brine

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Oh and 'Nimrod's Son' for the lines: 'Youarethesonofa motherfuckkerr!' and 'Youarethesonofa incestual union'.

Yep, I love that bit!

 

[Idris2002]

Long ago, I lost any and all interest in the Pixies.

[rekil]

Actually the best Pixies song is probably Motherbanger, the Chris Morris parody.

 

[Blagsta]

This song could have been written by the Stranglers.

Get your ears syringed! Or alternatively, listen to The Stranglers and get back to us!

Quite. Monkey Gone To Heaven a Stranglers-alike song? Bizarre.

 

[Aphex]

All of them are great!

But the last bit of No.13 Baby is fecking awesome!!!!

 

[Tank Girl]

too many to mention actually

that's what I thought, far too many.

but a few to keep in the spirit of the thread

into the white
motorway to roswell
I've been waiting for you
gigantic
where is my mind?

 

[neonwilderness]

Difficult choice, but U-Mass, No. 13 Baby and Broken Face are the first three that come to mind.

 

[learydeary]

River Euphrates 12" re recorded version

 

[mitochondria]

gouge away!

 

[CNT36]

I think break my body is a very underrated track. That or gouge away would have to be my favorite. This week anyhows.

 

[Disaster]

'Gigantic' and 'Where is My Mind?' are my two favourites. 'Where is my mind?', of course, is my favourite of the two, because it reminds me of Marla Singer, who I planned on marrying during my teenage years.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Levitate Me
Caribou
Gouge Away
Hey
Ive Been Tired

So many to choose from ...

 

[eoin_k]

'Lala Monkey where is my Baby'...? (Okay I'm just trying to do my bit in the Pixies vs Beatles battle....

 

[El Jefe]

Where Is My Mind is the first Pixies song I ever heard, on the John Walters show (RIP) back in about 1988. It blew me away immediately

 

[Gemsaran]

No. 13 Baby
