pixies - best album?

[Annierak]

But comps/best ofs are better than albums cos they have no fillers or boring tracks (though admittedly you'd be hard pressed to find a duff Pixies track)

I prefer proper albums because a 'best of' always misses a vital track because it's just the singles. See, 'Death to the pixies' doesn't have 'Is she weird' (from the Bossnova album) on it and thats my second favorite Pixies song

every time i click on thread tools to try and add one the page just scrolls down to the bottom of the screen with a message in the bottom left corner - "done but with errors on page"

Errors!??!1

yes, errors.

@danny - i think trompe le monde is an ace album. planet of sound is one of my favourite pixies tracks. and all of the other tracks on the planet of sound EP are fantastic, too.

 

[Tank Girl]

surfer rosa.

It's all relative, isn't it. The least good Pixies LP is still going to be better than most records ever released.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Rosa is better as an album but dosen't have the best stand alone tracks. Actually Doolittle is pretty good apart from here comes my man, boy is that song shit on toast.

 

[purves grundy]

do another thread with a poll

 

[dodgepot]

someone else will have to. unless i wait until i get home.

 

[gosub]

Did the Beeb ever release that Pixes Live at Newcastle Poly coz thats quite good as well

ETA yep, but £78.40! glad I taped it off the radio

 

[The_Reverend_M]

I .... really ... don't ... think ... I-can-pick-just-one!!! *brain melts*

 

[killer b]

after some thought, the conclusion is 'surfer rosa', although it's only vamos that puts it ahead...

 

[Iam]

yes, errors.

So the mob couldn't help, then? Bloody useless lot. Sorry.

I like Trompe Le Monde as well.

 

[Pie 1]

Surfer Rosa

Well, Bone Machine, Vamos & Where is my Mind & Gigantic for starters...

 

[danny la rouge]

I like Trompe Le Monde as well.

So do I. It's just my least favourite.

 

[Vamos666]

Surfer Rosa- Not just the music but also the boobies in the artwork

 

[Pieface]

The Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim double album release of course.

this.

 

[Voley]

Doolittle just edges it over Surfer Rosa for me. Trompe Le Monde after that, then Come on Pilgrim and Bossanova.

Even their worst album's great.

 

[kained&able]

You can't have two albums just cos they came in the same box either. Thats clearly cheating.

surfa rosa for me and all.

Silly people not being able to polls. From a vet as well, i expect better to be honest.

[Pieface]

Dave can't read.
Beat him dodgey!

 

[ViolentPanda]

Surfer Rosa and Doolittle, because I love SR, but also couldn't do without "Debaser" and "No. 13 baby".

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

dodgie's poll has gone to heaven

 

[ViolentPanda]

dodgie's poll has gone to heaven

Like dodge, the poll was a monkey.

 

[El Jefe]

I'm not black like Barry White, no I'm white like Frank Black is
so if man is five and the devil is six then that must make me seven
This honky's gone to heaven
