Thanks to my Dad this song was a staple of my childhood. In 2017 I went to my first Pixies concert with my Dad. Front row of the mosh. Was bloody brilliant. We went again in 2020 just a week before New Zealand went into lockdown for the first time. Dad passed in June this year and we played this at his funeral at his request. I now have “this monkey’s gone to heaven” tattooed on my arm under a modified version of the Doolittle album art for my Dad. Miss listening to Pixies with him

Throat, brow, and crown in fact

[@blackstonepros]

From a production standpoint, this is an absolute masterpiece. The way there are those stripped down vocals and bass during the verses, and then that wall of guitar, fuzzy goodness that kicks off each chorus, but tapers off to allow the singers to do what they do. This should be a lesson in every music book.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

+ZERO94AIC I don't know about the rest but the Pixies definitely deserve much more recognition they were brilliant! I don't know anything about who is in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame or if that even exists but it sounds like its full of crap like the Stones and other Bands who only really were any good at the beginning and longevity but mediocre output doesn't make a Great Band. I would suggest that innovative work and the fact that their work sounds as fresh and relevant today is more to the point!

yeah i think it's partly based on votes, either way, it sounds pretty dumb and arbitrary

Kim deserves more credit....after her sacking, then her own band. Does she get to play with them now, or is she forever ostracized for the kinds of things musos are always in trouble for? Harsh judgement and not fair. With alcohol legally swamping society and causing more problems everywhere...it's not fair to hold this one mistake against her. Hypocrisy...

Matt Williams : When I was an impressionable and insecure youth, I'd say that my favorite was The Smiths (Which I will always enjoy), but honestly in my opinion, to me there is no such thing as a favorite band being that I like many, but I'd say for the most part, I like British bands better than I do American.

Lunatic4Bizcas My go to is Modest Mouse. I thought about not having a favorite band. That's a good point.

Its because it is the actual numbers that correspond to Man, the Devil (who was the first creature created...before Angels and Man and is therefore 6), and Man was supposedly the third, Angels being of Spirit and serving only the Will of God, don't seem to feature as highly.

That video was shot at a funky loft space in the warehouses of Boston's Southend, called the "Rez", whose occupants were super cool weed smoking artists. They played the Rat and bunch of small dives in the 80's. Morphine played at our loft nearby, another legendary 80's Boston band. But Pixies, they were special.

Still fresh today. Latest album is a strong contender for their best yet. Up the Pixies.

The pixies said we’re gonna make some crazy, unorthodox lyrics with some amazing vocals and sick instruments and the rest of the 90s said “YES”🎉
