Bizarrely this was produced by Steve Albini. I never liked it though.

how come 90% of the tunes on here are as depressing as fuck??..

Because through you’re lens you only see grey. Sort that out SP.

This my favourite track from one of the great lost albums of the 80s, Atlantic Bridge by Davy Spillane, with input from Newgrass Revival legends Bela Fleck and Jerry Douglas.

My favourite Pixies song.

The lyrics are fucked up. Albini’s production is as rough as fuck. Just superb.

Cactus.

Class. So many Pixies songs I couldn’t pick a favourite. Love this one.

That’s a very popular one with fans but I never was overly gone on it. It’s fine but wouldn’t be my favourite.

I was listening to Surfer Rosa earlier and I stuck on Break My Body and of course Where is My Mind and I thought maybe I don’t have a actual favourite one.

Pretty impossible to pick a favourite Pixies track I reckon.

How would you rank the albums? I would go:

  1. Surfer Rosa
  2. Doolittle
  3. Trompe Le Monde
  4. Bossanova

I really like Trompe Le Monde and think it is quite underrated and it is pushing Doolittle close for second place. I think Doolittle is a tad overrated but still pretty brilliant. For me though Surfer Rosa is well out on top.

I didn’t include Come on Pilgrim as it is an EP, although it is bookended by two brilliant songs - Caribou and Levitate Me.

I know there is an opera thread somewhere but still, this is one of the most epic and powerful songs ever… One of my all time favs
