Just to answer those General Frank Black chat bastards (just joking) I was wondering whether people prefer Pixies to Frank Black's solo and Catholics stuff, because there seemed to be absolute Frank Black support in that chat (maybe because it was FB chat).
This isn't to say that I don't like FB's solo stuff, because musically it is faultless, but i feel it lacks that raw inspiration and fury that attracted me to Pixies in the first place (As well as the fact that I am in love with Kim Deal).

I think there's something to be said about the fact that most of the people on that side of things sought the message board out awhile ago. Read into that what you will, but I think it speaks volumes.

| Hey Mad Lucas remember this is a Frank Black site. ;) Though this is also one of the best pixies site/forum even it is not a pixies page. |

| I still prefer the Pixies. But it's not important enough to argue over. You could say we're all Frank Black fans, and some of us disagree over which band we prefer him with. He's the main singer/songwriter for both bands, so it just depends on which style you prefer. |

| i have religiously supported Frank post pixies collapse, and as much as i didn't want to admit it - and tried to ignore it - some of his stuff has been very disappointing, this is purely my opinion, others may have got more out of songs than i did... don't get me wrong frank has many many excellent tunes.. |

Oh, and I guess I prefer Frank's post-Pixies work. But not by that much.

| just check your posts you're still newbies (don't take me wrong I consider myself as a newbie too) and obviously you arrived here for all the pixies reunion thing which is cool, but this site has been up for years it consists in a Frank Black page for Frank Black fans and they could like the pixies or not buy they're here for Frank Black. (I just have teenager of the year and it's such a great album that I would like to listen to more records). |

the thing with frank in my opinion is that quality control goes out the window, he has no one saying no frank lets make this a single album, or lets just release the one album this year, I prefer the pixies over frank, I prefer the breeders and the amps over frank, but that is my taste and it stemmed from the bitterness I felt when he split up the band. Please dont flame me for it though.

it's hard to compare, but if i'm honest i must say that i love all pixies songs, and most frank black solo / catholics songs. so for what that's worth....
but in general i'm more a fan of loud rock than country music, so that's probably why  |

I'm going to be honest.
I prefer Pixies over Frank solo.
I prefer Frank solo over Catholics. But this rule only works before "Black Letter Days".
This doesn't mean I don't like Catholics stuff: I love it!!! But, you know, I'm 23 now. I want rock music!. I want Frank screaming and Joey rocking out! It's logical that I enjoy Pixies work over Frank's work.
And I'm on this forum and not in a Pixies forum because its members are cool and friendly.
This is my truth.

Quoting the Office, are we?
Frank's first couple of solo albums are priceless.The last four Catholics albums are all fine pieces of work. And it has to be said, there are some great songs on 'Pistolero' and the self titled. 'Cult of Ray' isn't bad. And the Pixies are rockin', full stop.
I'd probably pay the price of ticket just to watch Frank shop for groceries. |

Yeah, but what if the choice is between a killer album with 11 tracks, or a killer album with 20-some-odd?
Although I can understand the appeal of a short, strong, tightly unified album, I have a general preference for albums with lots of songs. It's partially the completist in me, I suppose.

Actually, I think I'd consider Frank's work with the Catholics as more "rock" than his work with the Pixies. They play true rock. The Pixies rock in their own way, but it's more "alternative" or whatever you wanna call it.

Rock, pop, polka: cool. Doesn't matter how old you are. New Age: er, ah, well I think I have to abide by the Thumper Principle here.

I've been listening to all my The Pixies cds over and over the last couples of days. I don't think I've ever been as in love with The Pixies as I am now... so yeah... I kind of like them

Isn't the Pixies kind of Frank Blacks music?

| i hate all this crap about how long ago you joined the forum, and your average posting per day, and how many posts you have on the FB threads as compared to the Pixies threads, etc etc! what bullshit! i mean i'm sure there is thousands that visited this site before pixies reunion rumours and became members because it was such a BIG story and wanted to add their thoughts, and then once your a member you have no barriers to continue posting, no matter how unimportant it is... also many forget their passwords (like me) or other reasons.. as for some members actually going to the bother of seeing when other members joined, in what sections they posted in and calculating other statistics, I mean I think frank would like you to get a life..... enough said i think! |

Just curious, HPM...do you think the general energy of the Pixies show was superior? Because, I've seen them both, and I would have to say the FB&C's shows were much tighter, and with a lot of energy exhibited by the band itself.
I did still very much enjoy the Pixies show...they were, after all, playing live shows for the first time in years.
I suppose it hinges on whether you like the Pixies or FB in general too.
1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.
3. I am a man with 3 fingers...but that doesn't count my index finger nor my thumb. |

I agree the catholics are way more tighter at the moment but it is a different style of rock.
I only got to see frank on the SMYT tour as i come from africa but would have rather seen/heard him do stuff off the first 3 albums than pixies songs. I would kill to have seen him in '96 doing the majority of Cult of Ray songs.

Yeah to be fair Calistanian, a lot hinges on the songs. I may be slightly biased 'cos I prefer the Pixies songs, you may be slightly biased 'cos you prefer FB&TC's songs.
