Re: Here's where FoK and I part ways
[quote name="FoK"][quote name="I need clarification"][quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Worm"][quote name="Fullofkittens"]The Pixies are the greatest rock band of all time except The Beatles and maybe The Ramones. If you don't own their album <i>Doolittle</i> then you might as well not own any music. It encompasses all and from everything that was good about 90's rock sprung directly from the union of its beautiful pulsating brain and fangtoothed vagina.[/quote] So that is sort of like sucking the band member's cocks without sucking the band member's cocks, right? I downloaded some of their stuff. It's alright.[/quote] "Where Is My Mind" is alright. "Caribou" is alright.[/quote] In addition to redefining rock music, the Pixies also redefine the (almost) word "alright." Caribou is one of the greatest lyrics ever, and I think you dislike Where Is My Mind because everyone knows it. Like Here Comes Your Man. I agree with everything else you've said, and would add "Tame" as one of the most dead-on songs about anything ever written.[/quote] I need a smiley with one eyebrow raised here. How's this: ;:-| I like the verse lyrics of Caribou but the whole screaming "REEEEEEEPEEEEEEENT!" thing is a turnoff - that's the kind of thing a cheezy goth metal band would do. I don't love "Where Is My Mind" (and I do like it, just don't love it) because everyone likes it and I'm tragically misunderstood so that's how it has to be. Love Here Comes Your Man. That's great all the way through, and introduced me to Velvet Underground. Favorite Pixies song: Dead.[/quote]
