Having somehow only just discovered the Pixies Warren Zevon Cover, it got me thinking about what other tracks they could inject a little magic into.
If you could pick 10 songs for an imaginary Pixies covers comp what would you choose? Songs they have already covered are fair game for inclusion.
I guess to make this a successful thread I should start off with my selection to get us going but instead I'm going to hope someone else swoops in and saves the day. |

I would love to hear Pixies version of Apache, Bowie's Moonage Daydream and Kim can sing The Cars' Touch and Go.

This definitely requires some thought. I, too, will have a think.

So weird! I just saw this thread today...I had a dream about The Byrds song MY BACK PAGES last night! Such a beautiful song...off their best album (Notorious Byrd Brothers)!

I'd like to hear them do some Deerhoof songs, I think that could be interesting.
Starting with-
Chatterboxes from the album Runner's Four, that would be amazing to hear them do it in the style of Bossanova
And also-
probably every other Deerhoof song I hear tonight while I am on my current Deerhoof mini-session |

Hey The Maharal,
The Pixies already covered Cohen's I Can't Forget. Your wish has already been granted.
