Pixies
Anyone into this Indie Rock band?
According to many sources, including Rate Your Music, they are rated as the number 1 Indie Rock band of all time, so I decided to purchase their Greatest Hits. I'm cranking it today. I really like them so far. Any other fans here?

Re: Pixies
You only like 2 songs all together? Doesn't seem like you're much of a fan then heheh.
Pixies is one of those bands ... who never really hit the big time, but they were highly influential. Some people say they created the 90s music scene. I can see the logic in that.

LOL but you said you only liked 2 songs! If I only like 2 songs from any given band - logically I'm not a fan heheh. I have to like the majority of a band's catalogue to consider myself a fan of any band or artist. But that's just me.
So far I am certainly considering myself a fan of Pixies. Liking every song on this GH so far!!!

Re: Pixies
The 2 songs Ive mentioned I liked were either in a movie or a song I heard in a documentary so my exposure to them is not complete.

I'm not sure actually! Heheh!
"Gouge Away" is one of my favorite songs on this GH! I like every song though!

Re: Pixies
Love this band. Doolittle is my favorite album of theirs, followed by Surfer Rosa. If we're rating Indie Rock bands, I think the Shins would be #1 for me, but Pixies would be second.

Interesting that you mention The Shins. I've heard a lot of great things about them. I think I'll have to snag an album sometime.

Re: Pixies
Well now that I've sat with this CD for a few days, I can safely say I really like this album. Very good greatest hits.
My fave songs are:
Monkey Gone to Heaven
Gouge Away
Velouria
Alec Eiffel
Winterlong
The rest of the album is good, but those 5 songs are all masterpieces IMO.

Re: Pixies
This is one of my wifes favorite bands. There was a period when I was completely bored with metal and this was one of those bands that I was quite into for awhile. The first 5 albums are all great and they have newer one thats pretty good as well.
One thing though, if there were no Husker Du, there would be no Pixies.

Re: Pixies
Why do you say that about Husker Du? Were they highly influential on Pixies? I might need to check that band out too.

Re: Pixies
Ive heard of Husker Du in fact the singer appears on a Foo Fighters album Wasting Light the song "Dear Rosemary" lyrics were cowritten by the guy Bob Gould i think ?
