Just *coughdownloadedcough* Bossanova (I'm going to buy the actual disc though now that I have fallen in love with it). They remind me of Talking Heads. I love Dig for Fire and Down to the Well.....their awesome. Any other considerations for me to pick up from them?

    every single one of their albums are great. i would suggest getting them all, but if you had to get just one, i would get surfer rosa.

    Oh I will probably get them all but just one for now.

    I love pixies, I recommend "Death to the pixies". That includes a live show from them. Monkey gone to heaven is one of my faves.

    Sufer Rosa and Doolittle are their best works.

    I think Bossanova is the least interesting of their albums, but it's still good. Doolittle is their masterpiece (kind of like Nirvana's Nevermind...every track is great).

    On the contrary, I would say it's their MOST interesting album!

    the most incredible band EVER.

    Trompe le Monde is, in my humble opinion, easily the best album the Pixies ever recorded, and really one of the better albums I have ever heard. Letter to Memphis, U-Mass, Motorway to Roswell, U-Mass, Planet of Sound, fucking U-Mass.

    Classic

    First one I got was Dolittle, it's brilliant.

    Bossanova is pretty clearly, to me, their worst. I'd get Doolittle first, then Surfer Rosa & Come On Pilgrim (you can find them together in one CD even though they are a separate CD and EP), then Trompe Le Monde. Death To The Pixies was where I started with them and it's a great collection of some hits, but it's better to go for the real albums.

    death to the pixies is where i started (well my older brother lent me it....
    yes the same one who helped with Talking Heads cd....!!)

    tromple le monde considered their spacey/surf rock record and initially
    a sad way to go out.....however all 4 albums and come on pilgrim are
    a must in any collection.....particularly when u got em all signed by
    mr francis!!!!!
