Wow both Frank and Pixies do/did poorly in the U.S. I was going through one of those big book of rock things and lookin at were Frank and Pixies got to in England. Bossanova did the best albums wise number 3 in the charts I think. While the re-release of Debaser got to 21 in the singles chart. Franks first 2 albums made the top 20 I think but after that they go down into the mid 60s then to nothingness. Just think that so many people have missed out on so much great music. There loss, they can go listen to Britney Spears or whatever.
In terms of them charting on Billboard? I don't think they did. Any inroads they made on independant charts, maybe Allmusic doesn't have all the indie chart stuff up until the last year or so
Weird. It seems like Dog In The Sand at least would be listed, since it got such glowing reviews (at least the ones I read) and was nominated for an indie album award.
He´s nomineted...curious, in my humble opinion it´s the less good album he made...I never got the chills with this one...except for St.francis and I´ve seen your picture!
