OK kiddos,it's time to tell us all which song that the pixies covered you like the most!

I'm stuck between the surftones-cecilia ann and leonard cohen-i cant forget at the moment.

Definitely Winterlong. I've never heard the original version by Neil Young, but the way they do it is so great, why would I wanna hear the original version?

Winterlong. It beats the Neil Young version, which is something that Head On doesn't quite do with the original J&MC version. Plus it's great live.

It has to be Wild Honey Pie. I love it even more 'cos it sounds absolutely NOTHING like the original.

I'm with you babe... Wild Honey Pie has to be the best cover I've heard. I would go with Born in Chicago, but I haven't heard the original yet. Who does the original?

In my defense... I'm just sayin'

Toss up between Head On and Winterlong, but brownie points definetely go to Wild Honey Pie for totally outstripping the original track

Winterlong OR In Heaven -- Kim version is faithful, Frank version is a creepy flipside that exposes the perverse David Lynch subtext of it all.

I hate I cant forget, ruggish. but its a toss up between Cecilia Ann and winterlong, when they played the opening chord to that in brixton, well then I knew it was something special.

Oh man, on that DVD hearing them scream HOOOOOOOONEY PIE, makes me fall in love with the band all over again.

Did someone say they covered a Leonard Cohen song? I love Leonard Cohen! Which one?

This is a good criteria to choose the best cover, so I choose In Heaven. Kim or Francis version, it doesn't matter. Both are great.

Winterlong. Excellent harmony between Frank and Kim on that one. "Head On" comes close, though. Both better than the originals.

Man, I love 'I Can't Forget', the dichotomy of Black and Kim's voices just shine on this one.

If the Pixies played it, then it would be.
