PIXIES Poll: The best track on Come On Pilgrim

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

quite surprised be the extent of the victory here

I missed this - boo. Tough but I would have had to go with I've been tired.

wow this is delightful - ilm mb u aint so bad after all

I forgot to vote! Glad to see every track got some votes.

I endorse these results.

Sweet!

I guess I'm kind of spoiled on Caribou because I used to play in a band that covered it, but I can't argue these results.

I put off listening to this again too long, and then the poll was over, so I didn't vote. :(

The Pixies were such a shock when they came along. A total shock. I wasn't sure
what to make of them at first. A 4AD record with swear words in it? What? I was
looking for something to fit the mould of the 4AD records trademark sound,
and this definitely did not fit that mould. But after you got used to it, you
realized they were brilliant. Or at least I did. They were entirely unique.

"I could tell you a story that could make you cry I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed
I like Lou Reed..."

Take that Reed/Cale poll!

and yeah, I echo other posters here who have said Some Dude needs to get Doolittle PRONTO.

I saw them open for Throwing Muses back in the old days, you know. They were really damn good. In a tiny club in the middle of nowhere. Before anyone knew who they were. I WAS THERE.

This still doesn't load for me, so I can't even see the results (and wasn't able to vote in the poll, either)

But I just wanted to say ^^^^^^^^^^^ Bimble, my friends saw them on that TM/Pixies tour and they said it was AMAZERATING.

Poll Results
Option Votes
"Caribou" 30

"I've Been Tired" 16
"Levitate Me" 13
"Ed Is Dead" 8
"Vamos" 6
"Isla de Encanta" 3

Only time I ever got to see them live was opening for U2, and I was way up in the rafters of an arena. Still a good time, tho.

Thanks!

NOW I REALLY WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS.

There would have been another vote for Nimrod's Son had I been able to vote. :-(

xposts to Kate:

Yeah! Actually, it turned out to be only a small chapter in my Throwing Muses lifetime, that gig, because I ended up seeing TM more times than any other band (about 8 times I think, dunno). But I'm listening to this Come On Pilgrim record now and something in the sound is making me recall this gig I saw when Pixies had just started out, in this little club, hardly anyone there, you know? And the memories are making me feel really strange right now. Kindof...like it makes me shudder to suddenly remember traces of something I had totally forgotten.

Stop cross posting with me I was just going to say something about Nimrod's Son! Let me get a word in!

Sorry, you are drunked and I am full of tea.

Oh I know what it was, now! I was gonna say that Nimrod's Son shits all over the Violent Femmes. LOL

Anyway, I think "I've Been Tired" is the easy-way-out vote for this poll, and I don't really approve of that as a vote. I'm very glad that Holiday Song prevailed over that.

But they tied!

Oh shit! They did! ILM in controversy shockah

YOU ARE THE SON OF INCESTUOUS UNION!!!!!!!!!!

THE JOKE IS COME UPON ME!!!!!!!!!

how could this song place so low?

Levitate Me should have won. Something's wrong here

how could this song place so low?

I bet a lot of people love it (I do), but not quite as much as the one they voted for.
