When Nirwana´s Kurt Cobain said that he always tried to make music like the Pixies did, but failed most of the times, it tells everything. When it comes to modern rock music, one cannot overestimate the importance of this fantastic band.
Velouria is my personal favorite, followed by Caribou, then Digging for Fire, Jose Jones, and Debaser! "He bought me a soda... he bought me a soda... He bought me a soda then tried to molest me in the parking lot. Yep yep yep yep!"
God I love the pixies. Not only did they write a massive catalogue of awesome songs but they had a massive influence on bands like Weezer, Radiohead, and Nirvana. Amazing band
Nick Hurst I may not be a real Sonic Youth Fan, as I only listen to some of their tracks, but they definitely should get a Top 10 list of their songs. Here are my suggestions for the Top 10 of their songs (not in order): Teen Age Riot Mariah Carey and The Arthur Doyle Hand Cream Kool Thing Eric's Trip Kissability The Diamond Sea Tunic (Song For Karen) Drunken Butterfly 100% The Sprawl
I'm so glad you guys did this. The pixies are my favorite band. I wish levitate me and my all time favorite I been tired was on this list but I'm not complaining.
My hero! I'm in awe of the Pixies' melodic side. I love Velouria, as it might be the most perfectly lovely pop song ever written, but it lacks anything interesting from Joey's guitar. Enter: The Happening. Simple, mysterious, hopeful, romantic, and inspiring. Probably my favorite song. "Saying hiiiiiiiiii..." UPDATE: Turns out it was wrong of me to say there's nothing cool from Joey's guitar on Velouria. I don't know where I thought the (fantastic) main riff of the song was coming from...maybe my brain farted and I thought the theremin played that part. Hmm...well, now that that's settled, maybe I DO like Velouria better...
A good example of how fucked up people's thinking is on the Pixies: On the site Best Ever Albums they have individual song ratings. The Happening is rated an 81. I go to Surfer Rosa, and "I'm Amazed" is rated the same, and Broken Face and Something Against You are even higher. How people can have such a lack of appreciation for the beauty of this song is dumbfouding to me. (Or is it dumbfounding how overrated a song like "Broken Face" is? At an 83, it's literally rated as high or higher than 25 of the 29 songs on Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde together. Gosh, I guess people just REALLY like Broken Face...)
Well there are many terrrific Pixies songs, but still my favourite remains Monkey gone to heaven. Not because it is the best, but it always reminds me of about eight hollydays on the Dutch island of Terschelling. In this bar dancing Wyb, you could be sure in the late eighties and the 90' s that you could hear that song (and often simular music) almost every evening/ night. Could there be a better reason, to love one song of a band the most?
When I bought the album surfer Rosa back in 1988, I could not imagine these musicians and their amazing work would be the influencers of my other GREAT favourites RADIOHEAD!!! ❤️
Pixies is the original alternative band, say goodbye to a majority of modern ones without the Pixies. Easily one of the greatest and influential bands ever.
Debaser is such a great song with cosmic guitar riff, Black Francis's shouting and uplifting drumming! When I listen to it I can't help singing along to it.
Last night he could not make it He tried hard but he could not make it Last night he could not make it From a holiday.So many miles,looking for a place to stay.Classic.
My favourites change about once a year. Right now I adore "I bleed" and "Break my body." I saw Pixies in Toronto this July and was sad that not a single track from Bossanova made the setlist
When the planet hit the sun I saw the face of Allison. Allison. Also, Nimrod's Son, Rock Music, Cactus, Cecilia Ann, Hangwire, Havalina, The Happening, Ana, Crackity Jones, Down to the Well, Vamos, Something Against You, River Euphrates, Debaser, Tame, Wave of Mutilation, Mr Grieves, No 13 Baby,... I could keep going... Just so many great songs to choose from. Definitely one of the best bands from the last 30 or 40 years.
I could lose like 6 or 7 of those and replace them with other songs and still feel like it's their 10 best. This band is so perfect it's almost boring.
Every song on this list is brilliant. But if it were my list, then Gouge Away would be at the very top, and there would be room for I Bleed and Caribou.
My Top Ten 1. Here Comes Your Man 2. Letter To Memphis 3. Dig For Fire 4. The Happening 5. Where Is My Mind? 6. Gigantic 7. Debaser 8. Alec Eiffel 9. Gouge Away 10. Mr. Greives
bullshit... everybody has his own favorite songs and nobody can choose for anybody else... and for me the best is rock music... all the others come after
Late reply but I wanna be Adored was written in or before 1985 and appears on the band’s unreleased Garage Flower album (recorded before the pixies had a release)
Usually floats around 25-30 for me. Amazing intro, though, and imagining it playing during a love-at-first-sight scene in a good movie gives me chills. Sonically, it's like the mind racing to keep up with what the eyes are seeing.
1. Where is my mind? 2. Debaser 3. Hey 4. Monkey gone to heaven 5. Here comes your man 6. Waves of Mutilation 7. Alec Eiffel 8. Dig for fire 9. Gigantic 10. Velouria
Honestly, the majority of this list feels like you just picked random pixies songs and put them in random ranking. But that's whats so great about them. You could make an argument about nearly any of their songs being top ten worthy.
i have a personal attachment to the pixies. My roommate at the time back in the early 90's said to me, yeah...I've done the lighting for a local band and from what I understand it was the pixies. I didn't know who they were at the time. I lived in a loft space on Thayer St. in Boston. 24 Thayer to be exact. The pixies were a Boston band that I knew of from a friend or two but at the time it was after the fact. i think Peter Chung from Downtown Recorders had a lot to do with the promotion of the pixies going large and the fact that they were touring Europe. That whole 1990's scene was epic and this local band hit me across the head as did Think Tree as well as stomp box. good stuff.
10. Alison 9. Gigantic 8. Where Is My Mind 7. Here Comes Your Man 6. Dig For Fire 5. Alec Eiffel 4. All Over The World 3. Motorway To Roswell 2. Caribou/The Holiday Song 1. Velouria
Honorable mention: Every other Pixies song not included in the top 10.
Right on!
I'm guessing "Gouge Away" is number one, or maybe "Where is My Mind?"
However "Hey" is my favorite Pixies song.
Same, maybe it's lame but I fucking love that slow motion walking scene from Zack and Miri Make a Porno, it's the first time I heard that song.
its where is my mind
think we are each others spirit animals
GoodmorningCaptain same hey is my favorite

Na, then it wouldn’t be the Pixies top 10 anymore.
When Nirwana´s Kurt Cobain said that he always tried to make music like the Pixies did, but failed most of the times, it tells everything. When it comes to modern rock music, one cannot overestimate the importance of this fantastic band.
I always thought that Smells has been inspired to Kurt by U Mass
Of course #1 was gonna be "Where Is My Mind?" We all saw it coming.
"Gouge Away" deserved top 10 and my favorite "River Euphrates" forever underrated.
kupodrinksmilk River Euphrates is great. The Navajo Know is my personal underrated favorite.
kupodrinksmilk River Euphrates is also my favourite!
river euphrates all time best pixies song. these lists never include the best songs.
river euphrates (it's already been stated but) is the best pixies song ever, and gouge away is the best off doolittle.
Break my bones didn’t even get an honorable mention. This list is cookie cutter.
i've literally been requesting this for almost 3 years
same same same so excited
I was pissed when Kim and Kelly didn't even make some twin list a while back. Not even an honorable mention
me as well lol
Frederick Core same
well. you got it. so stfu
The video for Velouria is one of the greatest ever made
Yes, your awesome
Most underrated band of all time.
Greatest band of all time.
we all know Where is My Mind is going to be #1
So, it's a awesome song
we know this because Tyler knows this
I prefer debaser but where is my mind is awesome too
Suyog Dahal yup and I knew Debaser would be #2
Yo band ko #1 song declare garna nikai kathin cha bro.
Favorite Pixies song: Gigantic. It's the one that made me realize how much I truly love the band, and instantly got me hooked.
Dudeeee me toooo
Velouria is my personal favorite, followed by Caribou, then Digging for Fire, Jose Jones, and Debaser!
"He bought me a soda... he bought me a soda... He bought me a soda then tried to molest me in the parking lot. Yep yep yep yep!"
God I love the pixies. Not only did they write a massive catalogue of awesome songs but they had a massive influence on bands like Weezer, Radiohead, and Nirvana. Amazing band
mislabeling bone machine as mr grieves, putting gouge away and caribou as honorable mentions, this wasn't made by a true pixies fan if you ask me
And that is a good thing. Fans are lame
I'm so angry about that Mr grieves fuckup
and plus the narrator pronounced debaser like deebaser
It's WatchMojo. What did you expect?
Surprise surprise “Where is My Mind”. The “How Soon is Now” of Pixies songs.
Dammit now Im gonna think that of the song from now on
Hahahahhahaha excellent comment. I thought the same. I don't think they're real fans of the pixies like you and me....
I dont get this - both are great songs and one of the best from their respective bands. Like it or not, WiMM is one of the greatest songs made
To me, " hey" is my all time best, such heart hurting emotional weight!
This sound is pure feelings
Top 10 Pixies songs is not a Top 10 Pixies Songs without:
All over the world
The Happening
Motorway to Roswell
Palace of the brine
Letter to Memphis
starlite walker and I bleed
The Happening is the BEST!
Not my favorites, but I can understand this list. Awesome stuff!
No. 13 Baby deserves at least honorable mentions. Best outro a song has ever had
Darkermandeeper that song is great too!
Cameron Hamson my absolute favorite too!
th-cam.com/video/2E8sptpHZGs/w-d-xo.html ;-)
Top 10 husker du songs
Top 10 sonic youth songs
I think one or both exist already.
PM nah I looked it up neither
Oh. Then yeah WM should make those.
Nick Hurst I may not be a real Sonic Youth Fan, as I only listen to some of their tracks, but they definitely should get a Top 10 list of their songs. Here are my suggestions for the Top 10 of their songs (not in order):
Teen Age Riot
Mariah Carey and The Arthur Doyle Hand Cream
Kool Thing
Eric's Trip
Kissability
The Diamond Sea
Tunic (Song For Karen)
Drunken Butterfly
100%
The Sprawl
"Where Is My Mind"❤️one of my favorite songs ever👍
IS SHE WEIRD is for me no. 1 from PIXIES...I miss this piece in your chart :/
Jiří Pivrnec oh love that song
same here bud :)
is she weird is my favourite off bossanova
Yep the best. There's nothing to understand about it, which makes it amazing.
0:39 that's bone machine, not mr. grieves
and "Motorway to Roswell" ? Brilliant song.
Finally! Top 10 best Pixies songs! But i think almost every of their songs is the best! Who agree?
Gouge Away should have at least been in the top 3.
I'm so glad you guys did this. The pixies are my favorite band. I wish levitate me and my all time favorite I been tired was on this list but I'm not complaining.
pixies are amazing :)
now you need to do top 10 joy division songs
Flosidun I will gladly do that for you. If you want me to.
Pixies don't have a bad song!
They do : Bam Thwok, the song they made for a Shrek movie
They have tons of bad songs, I like the Pixies, but tbh, they have way more "bad songs" than most musicians I like. Some songs are complete shit.
I wouldn't call them bad, but they are way out there - which I find refreshing every so often.
Eh...broken face is really annoying
***** They are on my Pandora radio selection. I have to say when I am amped up, I listen to them, When I am cool and mellow, I turn to Mazzy Star.
''The Happening'' should be on the list.
My hero! I'm in awe of the Pixies' melodic side. I love Velouria, as it might be the most perfectly lovely pop song ever written, but it lacks anything interesting from Joey's guitar. Enter: The Happening. Simple, mysterious, hopeful, romantic, and inspiring. Probably my favorite song. "Saying hiiiiiiiiii..."
UPDATE: Turns out it was wrong of me to say there's nothing cool from Joey's guitar on Velouria. I don't know where I thought the (fantastic) main riff of the song was coming from...maybe my brain farted and I thought the theremin played that part. Hmm...well, now that that's settled, maybe I DO like Velouria better...
A good example of how fucked up people's thinking is on the Pixies: On the site Best Ever Albums they have individual song ratings. The Happening is rated an 81. I go to Surfer Rosa, and "I'm Amazed" is rated the same, and Broken Face and Something Against You are even higher. How people can have such a lack of appreciation for the beauty of this song is dumbfouding to me.
(Or is it dumbfounding how overrated a song like "Broken Face" is? At an 83, it's literally rated as high or higher than 25 of the 29 songs on Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde together. Gosh, I guess people just REALLY like Broken Face...)
Jess Manuel broken face is a great song. Also I think surfer rosa is criminally underrated and Doolittle is far from the pixies best album
"The Thing" monologue always gives me the chills, even almost 20 years after.
YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Pixies best band of the 90s. One of the greatest of all time.
Seth T 80's
Every other band after 1993 owes their sound to them(strokes and weezer, I'm looking at you)
I do so love this band. Just got a concert ticket for their Japan tour in November. Hope they don't have to cancel this time (like in 2022).
What about cactus it was good enough for David Bowie to cover it
Robert Montalvo I was lucky enough to hear Bowie play it live (and years later the Pixies play it). Such a great song.
Ok. So what fucking about it?
you met me at a very strange time in my life
ahhhhh
*sudden dick shot*
Just... thank you.
Ayy the strokes!
+MrYouarethecancer Fight Club is one of the most well written, acted and shot movies ever. Also stop being a homophobe.
Monkey Goes To Heaven is far and away my favorite, along with Gigantic and Caribou - for a quick rush of adrenaline, their cover of “Head On” is epic
Agree on top three. Miss "I Bleed" as an honourable, however. Hugely overlooked song.
Well there are many terrrific Pixies songs, but still my favourite remains Monkey gone to heaven. Not because it is the best, but it always reminds me of about eight hollydays on the Dutch island of Terschelling. In this bar dancing Wyb, you could be sure in the late eighties and the 90' s that you could hear that song (and often simular music) almost every evening/ night.
Could there be a better reason, to love one song of a band the most?
Wave of Mutilation UK Surf will always be my favorite
Break my Body not even in the honorable mentions?
The song at 0:41 is actually called "Bone Machine."
Just started and “where is my mind “ better be #1 it’s my fav song from there
Such an amazing band Doolittle one of the best albums ever made
Favorite band of mine
Aaron Walklin ,
Y
+Cj Bacorro no reasons needed
+Cj Bacorro Y not
Mine too, pretty much.
I hope you guys know how appreciative us fans of Pixies are that you even made this video at all.
When I bought the album surfer Rosa back in 1988, I could not imagine these musicians and their amazing work would be the influencers of my other GREAT favourites RADIOHEAD!!! ❤️
Well said Patricia..100 percent
and Bowie and Nirvana and more...
Pixies is the original alternative band, say goodbye to a majority of modern ones without the Pixies. Easily one of the greatest and influential bands ever.
Max Cash Husker Dü is up there as well
Before I watch this, I'm guessing number 1 is "where is my mind"
Who else remembers Debaser from SKATE 3
Only the greatest song in the game
Job 012 naw disorder by joy division is the best. Nothing beats joy division!
NCAA Football 2006
Brady Davey or shimmy shimmy ya
Sorry. I remember it from my senior year of high school @_@
Debaser is such a great song with cosmic guitar riff, Black Francis's shouting and uplifting drumming! When I listen to it I can't help singing along to it.
My favorite band of all time
All over the world! And also love the chord progression of havalina. And Ana. And down to the well. Ok, all bossanova
I requested this 3 years ago. Thanks for coming through guys! Top ten 311 songs!!
#10-#1...none of their songs
Last night he could not make it
He tried hard but he could not make it
Last night he could not make it
From a holiday.So many miles,looking for a place to stay.Classic.
Im surprised Motorway to Roswell wasnt mentioned, honestly.
I wish "Levitate Me" was on here, or anything from Come On Pilgrim.
Bailey Whyte My favorite Pixies song next to The Happening. That Chad Lovering drumroll is always weirdly cathartic to me every time I hear it.
Tony Iscariot Right?! You can definitely hear the Neil Peart influence on his drums in this particular song
This band needs a top 20 at least, too many good songs. The Happening, Letter to Memphis and No 13 Baby are one of my favorites.
cant believe gouge away is not on the list xD
My favourites change about once a year. Right now I adore "I bleed" and "Break my body." I saw Pixies in Toronto this July and was sad that not a single track from Bossanova made the setlist
brief career? Im going to see them tonight...
I haven't even begun watching this but if it's not Debaser I'm going to be slightly annoyed. They released a completely perfect album, "Surfer Rosa."
When the planet hit the sun I saw the face of Allison. Allison. Also, Nimrod's Son, Rock Music, Cactus, Cecilia Ann, Hangwire, Havalina, The Happening, Ana, Crackity Jones, Down to the Well, Vamos, Something Against You, River Euphrates, Debaser, Tame, Wave of Mutilation, Mr Grieves, No 13 Baby,... I could keep going... Just so many great songs to choose from. Definitely one of the best bands from the last 30 or 40 years.
No. 13, simply for the greatest outro in rock history
Caribou
Holiday song
Vamos
Debaser
Tame
I bleed
Hey
Gouge away
The happening
Motorway to Roswell
I could lose like 6 or 7 of those and replace them with other songs and still feel like it's their 10 best.
This band is so perfect it's almost boring.
Every song on this list is brilliant. But if it were my list, then Gouge Away would be at the very top, and there would be room for I Bleed and Caribou.
My Top Ten
1. Here Comes Your Man
2. Letter To Memphis
3. Dig For Fire
4. The Happening
5. Where Is My Mind?
6. Gigantic
7. Debaser
8. Alec Eiffel
9. Gouge Away
10. Mr. Greives
No La La Love You :(
arturitus321 That song is total filler.
Ben Plays Guitar that’s very true, but the drummer has a great voice at least
My favorite is easily debaser with killer bass intro and memorable guitar riff
bullshit... everybody has his own favorite songs and nobody can choose for anybody else... and for me the best is rock music... all the others come after
I started to like this masterpiece band by listening Here Comes Your Man on my mother laptop xD!
Sad Punk is such an underrated gem...
Wave of Mutilation is one of my favorite songs of all time.
the fact that I had to leave a pixies concert early due to head stroke is a tragedy
No 13 Baby!!!
desjarda the best
desjarda fuck yeah!!!
Especially the demo version on the
Doolittle B-side album
the first pixies song I heard was hey and ever since then I love them
We've been waiting for this so long!
Top ten Melvins
Oh hell yeah
Matt H nice germs pfp
No Havalina? Not even in the honorable mentions?
Fir some reason, dig for fire was always my favorite
finally something good , one of the most original bands
I always thoughts Gigantic, the bass line totally influenced the stones roses I wanna be adored.
plasticbudgie nope. big, black dick.
Late reply but I wanna be Adored was written in or before 1985 and appears on the band’s unreleased Garage Flower album (recorded before the pixies had a release)
"Letter to Memphis" isn't even an honorable mention?!
Yeah I think it should be on there too
Usually floats around 25-30 for me. Amazing intro, though, and imagining it playing during a love-at-first-sight scene in a good movie gives me chills. Sonically, it's like the mind racing to keep up with what the eyes are seeing.

No 13 baby is my all time favorite pixies song, shocked it wasn’t even in the honerable mentions
Love how at 0:41 they have bone machine playing and it’s labelled “Mr Grieves” 😂
next time you make a Pixies list, maybe you should have someone work on it that actually knows something about this band.
agreed
no. pick someone who has never heard shit from these pixxees
Ecléctico Iconoclasta what do you mean that pixies suck pixies are the best
Dark souls 2 and fight club made me love where is my mind
dark souls 2 ? why?
There was a ds2 ad on tv and you can see it on youtube. Just type dark souls 2 where is my mind
I just watched and it's pretty cool. I'm playing dark souls 2 these days and did not know this video
André Filipe I like dark souls 2 but it misses the atmosphere of the trailers and of dark souls 1 at least they fixed it again with dark souls3
Scratch Velouria, Dig for Fire and Alec E. - Add Caribou, Holiday Song, There goes my Gun, Cactus, Number 13 Baby
kim deal's voice is everything
Why I like Alec Eiffel so much, idk
im in this video! when it shoes the Edan project gig, at the front row!
I've been waiting for this for so long
No no. 13 baby, thats my favorite song of theirs.
Honestly, the majority of this list feels like you just picked random pixies songs and put them in random ranking. But that's whats so great about them. You could make an argument about nearly any of their songs being top ten worthy.
