I can't believe I'm saying this, but the first Pixies song I didn't like the first time I heard it was.....
Planet of Sound
I thought it was too repetitive with not that great lyrics.
And yes, of course, now I absolutely love it.
I mean, that was 25+ years ago!
Anyway, what was the first Pixies song you didn't like the first time you heard it? And do you still feel the same way? |

Controversially, the first Pixies song I didn't like was actually the first Pixies song I ever heard: The Monkey Song.
I didn't hate it, I just didn't think it was up to much. (I like it more now, but it's not a favourite) Then they released Here Comes Your Man and I liked it more.
Then Bossanova, and I was sold.
Planet Of Sound left me a little disappointed too when it came out, but at that point my expectations were raised. |

Sorry picpic, I should have prepared you for the shock by putting a warning note or something.
But I love POS now!
To make it interesting picpic, which is the first 1.0 song you didn't like at first? |

Crackity Jones for me. Like it now, still don't love it. Same wth Trompe, the song and The Sad Punk. I like portions of them, but dislike others and depending on my mood I can find them annoying.
2.0, Ring The Bell and Another Toe for sure. |

I actually thought of you when I read this.
And I think sdon is big on The Sad Punk.
That song is crazy....... |

| The two songs I can't get enthused for are Stormy Weather and Ring The Bell. I basically adore everything else |

I don't care much for Bailey's Walk. If Bsides count?
If not then There Goes My Gun. Musically it's ok but it's pretty underwhelming. I think it gets a free pass for the fact it's on Doolittle. |

| Oh man Bailey's used to be my favourite song. My friends and I used to quote it all the time and scream Bailey upon moments of excitement (in that precore video where the Gardaí / Irish police take BF away you can hear us scream it a couple of time, what ruffians we were). |

Again I find myself in totally agreement with The Maharal.
First time I heard Bailey's Walk was in my car tape deck on a blank tape that was all the B-sides. It didn't have any song names or labels or anything on it. I had to fast forward around to find it.
It mesmerized me. Still does. I would think it could be nominated for "Weirdest Thing He's Ever Done" award.
Live versions are awesome too, but nothing comes close to the studio.
"Yeah!" |

Ha just goes to show how diverse tastes can be! That's great though!
I always thought the Jacques Tati could be related to Bailey, they kinda do the same moves! |

I remember ignoring "Dancing the manta ray" the first time I heard it. Now I think it's one of their best B-Sides. Is this song about a particular UFO shape ? Like Le Cigare Volant (the flying cigar) is a classic UFO shape. And let's not forget the cucumber-shaped UFOs too (Men in Black). I'm pretty fond of all Charles UFO-folklore songs.

I adore Dancing The Manta Ray.
I think they should open every show with it.
I think every band should open every show with it.
And I agree picpic it might be about a particular sighting. |

Dancing the Manta Ray and Bailey's Walk are the two best Pixies songs
After Trompe and Sad Punk of course ;)

I never paid 'Ain't That Pretty at All' much attention when it was released but listening to it recently it's a blast.
Sounds nothing at all like the new material (production, vocals etc) and it sounds like they're having fun. BF unhinged and Kim sings too! |

| Danicing the Manta Ray has always been a favorite. It's infectious. |

Yeah, I actually haven't listened to Silver in a long, long time.
Now as for as "The Sad Punk" is concerned, I totally get how it can be tough on the ol' ear drums, but what a beautiful orchestra of cruelty that song is. |

And Jaime Bravo is a great track.
Doesn't have anything to do in this thread, but it just crossed my mind.

First Pixies Song You Didn't Like
