As my distaste for Trompe Le Monde is apparently invalid.

I just thought that I should have made this a "Worst Pixies Record" thread instead. I guess someone else can start that, if they choose.

To be honest, I love them all equally like they're my kids and shit, but today I'm gonna say Trompe is the best. (it usually bounces between Trompe and Bossanova for me)

This is true, you really can't go wrong. And do you decide which drink is best? How well it gets you feeling and how quickly? Or how long it stays with you after its over?

Its funny because, at the same time that I say its like your favorite drink, I would probably put Doolittle at the bottom. Its good, but I reach for most of the others more.

Yeah, sometimes you reach for one more than others. Doolittle was the first Pixies album I ever heard followed by Bossanova and Trompe. I heard Surfer Rosa last and when I feel like some Pixies, it's the one I tend to reach for more often than the other three.

I'll up Surfer Rosa tomorrow for you.

I bought Surfer Rosa one afternoon after always hearing ABOUT the Pixies, but never hearing The Pixies. I listened to that and that only for probably 2 months.

Branched out from there.

Doolittle, although putting Surfer Rosa and Come on Pilgrim together kind of gives them an unfair advantage. Either of those top two choices could work for me.

Should I get that B-Sides comp?

Yeah. I voted Doolittle, but putting those together (for whatever reason) makes it tough. I'm surprised that, at the time I'm posting this, that Doolittle is so far ahead though of Surfer Rosa. Not surprised about the placement of the other two though.

This from the dude who used to jack off to the topless bitch on the Surfer Rosa cover.

Awww you little delicate flowers. You all like 'Doolittle' the best because you can't handle proper loud guitars and Frankie boys best deranged screaming.

Grow some hair on your chest and start liking 'Surfer Rosa' more you Gil Norton lovin' indie petals!

I agree, and that's why I voted for Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim. They are two separate and distinct records. Otherwise I would have gone with Doolittle.

Their B-sides were top notch. If you don't have many of the singles, then I'd say you should definitely get it if you are a Pixies fan.

You know it does get tiresome when bands are lionized/canonized. But in the Pixies case, it's not so tiresome. Buncha good tunes.

I went with the Pilgrim/Surfer combo.
Too freaking great.
And too freaking bad it's not still available on a single disc.
