Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a POLL: ILM Artist Poll #69 • Pixies (results!)

But to me this is one of those areas where popular judgment basically got it right. "Cannonball" was a giant hit because it was unstoppably great.

yes, I agree, one of the two best pop singles of the '90s - which is why I assume people overthought their voting, because it should have won.

or if beaten, only been by Safari

Whatever Happened to Pong?, (I Want to Live on an) Abstract Plain, Bad Wicked World - heard all those on a '90s radio session ten years ago, also p good iirc

still an overall great album – white Noise Maker also got a vote from me in the side poll and Thalassocracy came close.

can you guys just listen to this and concede it crushes "headache" like a grape

i will also "nope" this. 'tis a fine song, but for me Headache is an all all-time great song.

wheay-hey-hey-hay, isn't so great, since you learned karate, chop chop CHop chop...

I remembered reading an article about the Pixies about 20 years ago where it described the Velouria video as "the band members running in slow motion in the buff" and this thread somehow jogged that out of my memory banks so I just went to YouTube to watch the video and realize that it was actually "the band members running in slow motion down a bluff".

lol

Cannonball: Love Shack:: Divine Hammer: Roam

good call!

wow there is something so deeply, deeply right about that analogy

I'm ranking for fire!.
