some people like it more than doolittle. i was in this boat for a while.

i appreciate them both but will put on doolittle more than sufer rosa. they are different monsters, doolittle works better as an overall album and is a bit more, overall, accessible while surfer rosa, to me, is a collection of fun and crazy songs

Agreed, except I'd put Doolittle country miles ahead.

i agree that doolittle has more of an album feel overall. at times, depending on my mood, surfer rosa hits me as a mish-mash, doesn't quite have cohesion. plus i can listen to doolittle without batting an eye or reaching for the skip (except maybe on silver), whereas SR has kinda started to grate on me because of the dated recording sound ... great songs, but the production is ... errr

of course i say this having listened to both albums obsessively by times ...

What are people's favorite Pixies songs? Mine is probably a tie between Debaser and Wave Of Mutilation.

Hmmmm it's always hard to pick a favourite song, but my contenders are Here Comes Your Man, Gigantic, Dig For Fire, Velouria, Ed Is Dead and Monkey Gone To Heaven.

Violent & Funky · 10-12-2009, 10:35 PM

'Gigantic', 'Where Is My Mind?', and 'Tame'...
