I'm guessing "Gouge Away" is number one, or maybe "Where is My Mind?" However "Hey" is my favorite Pixies song.

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.

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
Agree on top three. Miss "I Bleed" as an honourable, however. Hugely overlooked song.
Gouge Away should have at least been in the top 3.
Finally! Top 10 best Pixies songs! But i think almost every of their songs is the best! Who agree?
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?
I hope you guys know how appreciative us fans of Pixies are that you even made this video at all.
We've been waiting for this so long!
The song at 0:41 is actually called "Bone Machine."
Every other band after 1993 owes their sound to them(strokes and weezer, I'm looking at you)
I requested this 3 years ago. Thanks for coming through guys! Top ten 311 songs!!

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...)

Love how at 0:41 they have bone machine playing and it’s labelled “Mr Grieves” 😂
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.
I started to like this masterpiece band by listening Here Comes Your Man on my mother laptop xD!
the first pixies song I heard was hey and ever since then I love them

Before I watch this, I'm guessing number 1 is "where is my mind"
cant believe gouge away is not on the list xD
No. 13, simply for the greatest outro in rock history
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."
the fact that I had to leave a pixies concert early due to head stroke is a tragedy
No 13 baby is my all time favorite pixies song, shocked it wasn’t even in the honerable mentions
Wave of Mutilation is one of my favorite songs of all time.
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.

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.
Fir some reason, dig for fire was always my favorite
