PIXIES Poll: The best track on Doolittle

And?

and Dan hates Metal Box

...OK?

and you both like Silver

uh huh

intersting.

indeed

"Mr. Grieves" because it's like an epic in two minutes.

gouge away or hey

in truth, i find a little over half of these tracks a little underwhelming these days.

Do have anoth-a-pinion?

Wow, this is truly one of the hardest decisions I've ever faced, it's like a 10 way tie for me. . .

I'll vote for There Goes My Gun, because of my not being able to get that melody out of my head on that fateful grade 8 field trip to Montreal when I bought Doolittle.

Wow. Looks like you guys are forcing me to vote for I Bleed.

i thought I'd be the only one to vote for Gouge Away, glad to see all the love.

I like Hey too. which sounds like the Stones to me

I Bleed

"Here Comes Your Man" = great pop song
"Hey" = AWESOME
"Debaser" = my pick

For sentimental romantic reasons I'm going to vote for "Hey!", although I've a demo/Peel version of it that is a lot better than the one on the album. Has a little more emotion in it somehow.

It was pretty much a 4 or 5 way tie, so I just voted for "Hey". I'm sure I'll change my mind in an hour. It's not perfect, but I still love this record.

Hey. and then Gauge Away.

monkey, because it's the only one of these songs that resonates with me at all anymore

Yeah its weird, I loved the Pixies completely, but I just don't listen to them anymore, they're of a time that's faded I think.

way-hey-hey-hey-heyve . . .

i never really think about this band, but looking at this poll, i realise ive a lot of time for wave of mutilation, gouge away, here comes your man, not sure which i'd pick

Suprisingly I think "Hey!" is going to win this based on responses thus far. Interesting.

I just remembered a sweet thing. I had just been to JB HiFi (Aus chain CD store) and was outside it waiting for a tram. These 2 teenaged indie boys came out, with a bag of cds. One of them pulled out "Surfer Rosa" and showed it to his mate and said "this is an awesome album I've heard". This made me happy. His friend took the CD, looked at it and went "hmm.. hey awesome, she has her tits out on the cover".

I felt so old. but in a good way.

"I Bleed"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

In another era, Debaser and especially Monkey Gone To Heaven would both have been top ten UK hits

That reminds me - there's a cover of Where Is My Mind? by Yoav that reminded me what a fantastic song THAT is (definitely the best on Surfer Rosa):

^^^ Cool technique, but it's far too emo for its own good.

Grrr, I wish I had voted for Debaser instead of Hey

can't believe only one person has mentioned "Wave of Mutilation". I'll probably end up voting for "Debaser", but still, that song is solid!

i went with Debaser, they also played it on indie 103.1 today.

I ended up voting "Dead".

I love Debasser! Especially as the opening song for Haiku Tunnel. I think I'm gonna watch it now....

"Wave of Mutilation" is great but I gotta give it to "Debaser".

i vote for dead.

Young, with hair, doing a beavis&butthead naw-naw-nawing intro to "wave of mutilation" - priceless!

"Do you intend paying him back?"
"No, absolutely not! He's my father"

Most of the time I'm like "Oh, solo acoustic performance...*yawn*", but in this case it just shines a light on how excellent those old Pixies songs are. It's like his brain was in a lock groove of pure awesome for about five years.

Hahah that is awesome with the "nawww naww nawww" pretend guitar he's sings :D

when i first heard this, aged ... what, 13? 14? ... i thought "dead" and "monkey gone to heaven" were actually two parts of the same song. can i have them both?

no? all right, then. MGTH it is.

Sometimes, Dead is better.

I meant to say Debaser and especially Here Comes Your Man would both have been top ten UK hits in another era.

Although Monkey was good too.

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

Unexpected but correct.

Interesting!

ilmotm

ish.

I think I'm going to burn the songs to cd in this order and see how it goes.

i think it's the most popular poll in ilm ever.
how many votes? 130 more or less?
anyway,mr.grievs shouldve been higher.
