Who's this guy between Kim and Joey ?

I grew up on the Pixies and through the shift into Frank Black and the FB & the C's. So over the course of (Yikes!) getting close to 20 years or so now, I've been able to see the progression occur at more or less a natural rate. For some who were introduced to the Pixies and FB recently or at roughly the same time, you may not quite get the same sense of natural progression as someone who had to wait for a new album annually for 17 years. I'm actually curious as to what it must be like to hear his work for the first time and all at once.
Having said that, its really tough to say who I prefer. All of his albums remind me of some point in my life. The happiest times of my life were Bossanova and Teenager of the Year. Dog in the Sand was a bad time, so lots of mixed feelings about that, though its an excellent album. Its a very close call, but I think I'd have to go with Frank & the Cs as all time favorite over the Pixies.
For the guy who said something about the Cult of Ray tour, just two words sum up my take on their DC show in '96: HOLY SHIT! In all honesty, in my humble opinion, and all other disclaimers aside they absolutely BLEW AWAY whatever the Pixies had in terms of raw rock 'n roll power. Hands down, No photo finish required. The version of Brackish Boy they did was just insane (though being DC the crowd was pretty subdued. eh...) I haven't seen the band quite like that ever since, they weren't even the Catholics yet at that point, but damn they had power. Haven't seen the Pixies reborn yet, so not sure how it will compare. |

I also grew listening to the Pixies, my best moments ever in my life, are connected with C.O.P. But I think itīs like a journey, and itīs good to see Frank Black changing and making new things!
Of course that I love the power of the Pixies, but I also love what Frank Black has been doing, I think heīs growing too!
... Iīm learning!... |

Yeah I rate FB solo above FB & C, but not higher than Pixies, the world's best band.

| Man this pixies reunion thing is getting crazy, way outa control, i mean some of the mpg clips from their shows in europe and south america are just nuts...Like where did all these people come from anyway?? Like this pixies thing world wide is really really sureal. I think during their last show of the tour their gona get beamed up back to their space ship and fly away for another 12 years or something. |

The difference doesn't lie in Frank/Pixies but in Catholics/Pixies. Franks writes the songs, and the difference lies in how the other musicians make it sound.
I can see the point that this is a Frank Black forum, but since this is the Pixies section of this forum, you can't blame Pixies fans for posting here.
