My least favorite Pixies song is probably "Santo". Never grew on me the way other B sides like "Bailey's Walk" and "Into The White" did.

The COP version is OK, but the SR version is boring and noisy.

wow, Dead is actually my favorite song on Doolittle... Frog in the sand's opinion is Dead. (sorry, that's the best I can do.)

I have to say i love silver,when i first listened to doolittle that song sent a shiver down my spine,have to agree with everyone who says bailey's walk though,i didnt read the whole thread(being 6 pages long and all)so i dont know if anyones said "hey" yet?maybe not the worst but not one of the best

My bone used to have a little machine,i must have misplaced it

I love the song navajo know... but oh well to each his/her own...
actually I love most of the songs everyone has mentioned...
I can't think of any song I dislike enough to single out... I guess my post is pointless... I can say that cactus is one of my all time favorite pixies songs...

oh yeah and I'm not big on instrumentals either....

I maintain that this is the absolute funniest thread in the entire Internet.

I adore every song people have mentioned. There is no worst pixies song.

Agreed, but I guess if I had to choose, I'd say Down to the Well. Just a little flat is all.

Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?

Yeah, except they skip a whole part to the song (namely the ending guitar part that Joey does.) same with "There Goes my Gun"...the guitar-bridge part just isn't there at all. I never understood why they recorded these condensed, incomplete versions for the BBC sessions! Both songs are still rockin as a motherfucker though, skipped parts or not.

Here comes your man. Weakest song on Doolittle. I can imagine Westlife singing it.

Ha ha - 'shit parade' - good one!

Doolittle : Silver

That's the only one that get's on my tits. Breeders also cover this one on a demo album somewhere (mind you Kim had a hand in it - no dis).

It's hard (impossible?) to find bad Pixies songs, but my least favorites from each album would be:

Surfer Rosa: Broken Face
Doolittle: Silver
Bossanova: Hang Wire
Trompe Le Monde: Distance Equals Rate Times Time
B-Sides: Build High

Of course, these songs are all great in their own ways. I just don't appreciate them as much as others. I have to admit that Broken Face is really growing on me after several years of being driven crazy by the "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh ooo" part. I can now tell myself that it's all worth it because you have to go through the beginning to get to the "speaks no English" line, which I love for some reason.

Oh, and Stormy Weather is my second favorite song on Bossanova, right after Is She Weird.

There's something about Trompe le Monde that really annoys me...I think it is all overblown, overproduced pap (except for the gorgeous Space (I Believe In.))

Best song? Cariboooooooou! Raw and pulsating!
