Which Pixies Album Should I Start With?

Which Pixies Album Should I Start With?

I’ve bought 2 songs on iTunes already (Where Is My Mind? and Gouge Away) and I absolutely love them! I’m previewing Come On Pilgrim, and I like it, but I just want some other opinions. Which albums do you think are the best? I read a lot online that Doolittle and Surfer Rosa are very popular but I’m more interested in listening to older Pixies.

The first

Answer by vtd288
The “Come on Pilgrim” EP (1987) and their debut album “Surfer Rosa” (1988) are my favorites. “Doolittle” (1989) is excellent as well.

I just got into them and I have Doolittle and Tromp Le Monde. Which one do you think I should get next?

Answer by LOL!
If you’re into more raw, indie-ish music I would say Surfer Rosa.

If you’re into an album that more copies Doolittle’s formula, but a bit more hard rock-y I recommend Bossanova

I agree. Surfer Rosa.

Answer by Fingertoes
Surfer Rosa definitely. And then Come On Pilgrim (even though it was only a demo) and then Bossanova. There’s nothing wrong with owning them all. Tee hee hee.
