what's one song from the original pixies catalogue that you were never a fan of, or one that you skip? for me, it's the version of vamos that's on surfer rosa. i prefer the production on the come on pilgrim version and the guitar solo in it only really works for me live.
I am a good person. I have a positive mental attitude. I can do it. |

| Both Vamos's for me. I also skip Where Is My Mind because I'm tired of it. |

Maybe There Goes My Gun on Doolittle.
BBC version is better
I skip Silver, too. Cool song, but not really a Pixies song.

| Probably a b-side like Santos or Theme from Narc, not because they're *bad* per se, but I have difficulty recalling them. |

Usually if I give it enough time my least favorite becomes one that I really like
Case in point Build High. Thought that was moderately annoying, but man has that thing grown on me, no pun |

| River Euphrates on Surfer Rosa. I heard the EP version first and that was that. Not mad on Tony's Theme either. |

All songs mentioned here are fantastic and among my favourites.
With the exception of Silver and Tony's theme, which maybe my least favorite ones. Together with Here comes your man, I bleed, Down to the well (good song but terribly produced/recorded), and All over the world.
I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band |

Best 2 songs on Doolittle!
I'd say There Goes My Gun, Blown Away, La La Love You. But I never skip any track really. |

I was thinking of Blown Away as well. As much as I love Bossanova, I do think the near end-run of Blown Away and Hang Wire weighs the album down.
That said, I absolutely adore There Goes My Gun. I love the open space of the verses and the eerie violent-yet-ethereal guitars of the chorus. I'm also impressed by the way the chorus itself releases-builds-and then once again releases tension, with a big help from Dave's drums. |

| I didn't "notice" Blown Away until recently, and then it blew me away. Now it's a favorite song. Sometimes songs take a while to finally hit you. |

Silver, the Breeders demo is way better
Stranger/danger rhyme is also very lazy
FBF singing is cringey
Can't for the life of me understand why Doolitle is seen as their best record when it has *that* on it
Some b-sides are a bit pointless, but that's why they are b-sides

| Yeah, I've always enjoyed Silver - I have lots of time for gothic spaghetti western. |

Love the music, just hate the singing.
Kim sings it better with The Breeders

| I can't think of almost any songs, even from artists I dislike, where I hate the singing. This just isn't a thing in my brain that makes any sense. Apart from a bad use of autotune, I just take people's voices as their voices and I've never felt hatred for the sound of them or whatever. Maybe Axl Rose or the guy from Creed, I guess...but from an artist I'm a fan of? Not sure that's ever happened. |

| Hadn't heard the Breeders demo (wasn't even aware that it's a Kim composition), so I listened yesterday and really enjoyed it. Still like the Pixies version though. I've also never had a problem with the vocals - in fact, I've always enjoyed how Kim and Charles reverse the typical male-female harmony roles. It's a good example of the androgyny that made the Pixies so otherworldly, interesting, and vital. |

silver isn't really a bad song. sonically it's definitely interesting but it does not fit on doolittle at all. i think it should've been a b side. manta ray would've fit better on the tracklist.

From day one I always loved that Silver was on Doolittle right where it is.
Totally adds to the weirdness of the album. |
