I didn't get to finish my ballot but my #1 was going to be Letter from Memphis fwiw.

I really like Lovely Day, but I can't help feeling the fact he's singing to an alien detracts from it a bit― Turtleneck Work Solutions (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, October 21, 2014 4:55 PM (3 days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Just noticed this. I was under the impression that he's singing to his girl back on earth. She will be his "Martian Honey" when she gets there after he sends the money.

Letter from Memphis narrowly missed my final cut, but I've had it stuck in my head all day. I might not have even listened to Trompe Le Monde for 20 years until this poll.
― Turtleneck Work Solutions (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 24 October 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link
just put together a quick ballot and sent. I already regret some of the songs I cut.
― silverfish, Friday, 24 October 2014 17:29 (nine years ago) link
I've overplayed all the pixies albums but for some reason Trompe Le Monde is the one I never really tire of. It's also the one that works best as an album, on all the other ones I tend to skip around a lot, even if I pretty much like all the songs.
― silverfish, Friday, 24 October 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, it's very well-sequenced. Feels almost like a concept album or soundtrack.
― how's life, Friday, 24 October 2014 17:46 (nine years ago) link
TLM was my favorite for many years and it still has the highest peaks andI love how some of the songs fit together especially Palace of the Brine, Letter to Memphis, Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons. But as a whole I think Bossanova is more consistent.
― mizzell, Friday, 24 October 2014 17:58 (nine years ago) link
What I like about the last two is that Santiago is all over them basically.
― Master of Treacle, Friday, 24 October 2014 18:42 (nine years ago) link
I fully expect Alec Eiffel in the top 5 by the way.

Distance = Rate is the big stunner for me. I had forgotten about that one.

I HAD ME A VISION!
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 24 October 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link
After Letter to Memphis, that's always been my favorite track on TLM.
Distance = Rate was one that I kept on my ballot to the expense of some better known tracks. I barely even remembered how it went before listening to TLM again yesterday, but it rocks
― voodoo chili, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:01 (nine years ago) link
I cut distance = rate, but now I wish I didn't
― how's life, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:03 (nine years ago) link
Just banged a crazy ballot together. Made me realize that in the last few years I basically only listen to Bossanova and Trompe le Monde, had to actually look up some of the Surfer Rosa/Doolittle songs. Love all of them when they're on, but I went with the ones that pop into my head the most often or which really make me stop and look up from what I'm doing and go "damn."
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 24 October 2014 21:32 (nine years ago) link
This polls made me realize that I strongly prefer body horror Pixies to sci-fi Pixies.
