Lead singer factoid - Frank Black/Black Francis' given name is Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV. Pixies are one of my top 2 or 3 bands without a doubt
@dutchzaphod Free world, music is so subjective, etc, etc, etc - but with all due respect..... that Placebo cover doesn't remotely hold a candle to the original. Just my opinion of course, but that's a stretch if I've ever heard one.
@KParkBro @dutchzaphod The Pixies have such a terrific back catalog of work you are probably best to ask which album is best... personally I'd have to say Doolittle.

Nice one. (I still prefer the Placebo cover, but hey, it's a free world :) )

@spook_school Yeah I'd go Doolittle followed by Surfer Rosa and I think highly of Trompe LeMonde as well.
