  • Hey, replace my record collection, you jive mofo.

  • Thats my Dad's hairy back up there.

  • @AnimashunKid Hug your dad for me.

  • 5 people like moose

  • Sonic Youth is the best.... Just based on the fact they released so many albums and all of them were great... But in terms of who released the greatest album, Doolittle takes the cake

  • @Sonyphilia I agree with all of this except for the fact that Surfer Rosa is better than Doolittle, and it's also better than any other album I've ever heard.

  • @TheEnchantingWizard1 Doolittle was far more melodic, although Surfer Rosa was a roller coaster ride...

  • Song about wanting to be a caribou?

  • yea!!!!!!!!!!11

  • wish i could scream the repent bit like black francis does but it just comes out sounding shit

  • RIP Roy King

  • I can't get enough of this song ;) It was just another song on the album to me back in the day, but now years later it's become my favorite.

  • Well I love the Pixies, The Clash, Joy Division and Radiohead. Am I better than anyone else?

  • this is a funny stream :P love this track <3 vb

  • @westcoastrage Where is my mind is an original Pixies song.:P Radiohead covered it.

  • to be fair, the opinion of someone i have never met and never will in my life isn't going to change my music taste. slate it all you want, i couldn't give a fuck, as i'm sure all other people who truly love music don't.

  • Between the Pixies, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers, Pavement, and any other band I missed, stop freaking debating who's the best and be glad we live in a world where they exist! Would you prefer all music just be I WHIP MY MUTHAFUCKIN HAIR BACK AND FORTH? no. No you wouldn't. So shut it.

  • @Lukeinator64 only if the lyrics were sang in that really cool scream voice that he does in this song o_0. epic.

  • @Lukeinator64 you sir are a fucking hero, well said

  • @goldingo90 What can I say. I exist to lead the world into musical salvation. I AM.....Musical Jesus!

  • @Lukeinator64 LMAOOO hahahah

    

  • wonderful song !! sick chorus !!

  • I'm only 13 and I like The Pixies... Age isn't a problem for listen good music.

  • @MetalForcePower Want a fucking medal cool kid?

  • @MetalForcePower what do you want a cookie? i have been listening to the pixies since i was 6, who cares

  • I came here to listen to a good song.  Not to listen to a bunch of kids who clearly weren't even ALIVE when this music was recorded arguing about who's better between Pixies, Nirvana and Sonic Youth. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. They are all great bands. Grow up and just enjoy the fucking music.

  • @inphanta Don't scroll down then...it's really simple. Plus, you weren't listening to them, you were reading what they had to say. That is a choice. You chose to make it.

  • @kurtywurty85: Let me guess; you were about to leave some childish comment about how much "NIRVANA ROOLZ!!!!111" then you saw my comment and felt the need to react defensively to it. Again, I came here to listen to a good song, not listen to kids whining. Which part of that do you not understand?

  • @inphanta No...I came here to listen to the song. I'm not a five year old child. It's just stupid when people say things like that because no one forced you to read these comments. You act like you clicked on the video and you instantly heard voices screaming "FUCK SONIC YOUTH!!! AHHHHH PIXIES RULLEEE BLAHHHH" but no. So you came here to listen, and you did just that. You also CHOSE to read some dumb ass comments. Just like I did.

  • @kurtywurty85: OK great. Now we've established this, can we just drop it? In the same way you insist I didn't have to READ the comments (happy now, Pedant King?), you didn't have to respond to mine...

  • @inphanta I know...I'm kind of a hypocrite.

  • @kurtywurty85 stay away from my wife 

  • @Alphabex8 Do I even want to know?

  • @Alphabex8 Ello.

  • nirvana is fucken jock cool hipster kid music fuck kurt cobain and all that popular crap he thought he was rebeling against then became

  • @d3p3ch3mod3 you obviously have no idea what you are talking about..

  • dont VS the pixies and nirvana assholes.. its just that kobains influence is pixies

  • is there such thing as a bad pixies song?

  • @MrPeguin666 I don't think so. :)

  • Nirvana was influenced by the Pixies, Kurt Cobain has said so himself, and while I'm not a huge Sonic Youth fan, I'll give them credit when credit's due, it's bands like the Pixies and Sonic Youth that paved the way for Grunge, and alternative in general

  • fuck these guys stole nirvanas songs

  • I dont Care I love The Pixies I love Nirvana And I love Sonic Youth

  • nirvana is my favorite band of all time... even now after loving the pixies individually, yet saying nirvana is better then the pixies is simply retarded.

    the pixies are to alternative-indie rock, as old black men are to rock n' roll.

    and to say Kurt Cobain + Pixies = Nirvana isn't true either... Kurt ripped off a lot of people.

  • @jazzmasterjesus ya, kurt ripped off scratch acid a lot more than the pixies

  • @nymetsrock no way... scratch is a noise band.... at least in my opinion no band sounds more like nirvana than the pixies and vise versa... when I first heard "tame" is was like "ok... well thats where kurt got it."

  • No me jodan, The Pixies tiene rolas buenas, pero jamás se compararán con el legado de Nirvana.

  • No me jodan, The Pixies tendrán buenas rolas, pero jamás se comparará con el legado de Nirvana

  • The Pixies kick ass, Nirvana kicked ass.

  • please do not compare pixies, nirvana and sonic youth, they're all different vibes. but it is funny that in my sonic youth, only with pixies i reached nirvana.

  • @freudastaire clever clever

  • @freudastaire Interesting that you ask people not to compare the Pixies to Nirvana... there's a great Kurt Cobain quote where he admits to trying to be the Pixies. But no comparisons, please.

  • @freudastaire Pixies are the godfathers of alternative rock and grunge! i cant belive this was in the mid 80s! What a record!! Its all there! the melody,lines the simple chords, the singin! the expresion. i love the fuckin Pixies. The are amazing!

  • @freudastaire well said

  • Let's set this straight. Without Pixies, there would be no Nirvana. End of story. To quote Cobain "I was basically trying to rip off the pixies"

  • @juices1234 - Technically he was only talking about writing "Teen Spirit" when he said that, but yes, Pixies definitely facilitated all 90s alt rock.

  • this is probably the most ORIGINAL band from that era

  • 3 disliking weirdos,what like?

  • This human form

    Where I was born

    I now repent

  • Gonna see them next week!!!!! I'm so exited.

  • listen to things that you like. stop wasting your time worrying about what others are doing.

  • Easy way to get thumbs up on pixies video: mock nirvana. They're both great bands, why is that not enough?

  • quit making it a contest and enjoy the music. if the ignorant are so - let them be so.

  • greatest band of all time, hands down.

  • @colormagicsky Well,today's rap is just HORRIBLE but I like the early rap acts because they had a meaning and weren't commercial fags like today.

    Wait,why the fuck are we talking about rap on a Pixies video?

  • @colormagicsky I'm not butthurt. How did you get that idea? I already have a band and speak blasphemy against mtv,I just don't share your opinion on everything.

  • @colormagicsky not all music today sucks, dude just look around

  • @colormagicsky "Today's generation fucked and I hate to be part of it.

    I'm just 19 what do I know.

    One day I'm going to get a band, play rock n roll, speak blasphemy against that genre on mtv."

    LOL... well, aren't you adorable...

  • Why is there a constant war over musical differences, it cracks me up.

    I personally listen to Nirvana, Sonic Youth and Pixies along side a whole array of different music and genres (no doubt someone will think because i put the pixies last that they're my least favourite as that's how pedantic internet geeks work) But can't we just enjoy the music we like and respect the music we don't when clearly there is effort put into it's creation.

  • Comment removed

  • That is Black francis on the cover, he has a notoriously hairy back...

  • FACT: Anyone who has ever been in The Pixies, Nirvana, or Sonic Youth doesn't give a fuck about this stupid argument.

  • @undeadspeed I dont get it...

  • Hey guys, Kurt Kovain said that The Pixies was his favourite group. In fact, he admited that he tried to raise the sound of The Pixies, and Smell like a teen spirit, was a try to make a perfect song with the sound of Pixies. Pixies is the alpha and the omega for many groups like Nirvana or Radiohead.

  • awkard how black francis ended up looking like the guy on the cover...

  • jeps

  • Sorry Pixies pip Nirvana to the post on so many levels to be honest, the style is totally different if you know this type of music so no argument really....end of

  • The Pixies were one of Kurt's favorite bands. They had a huge influence on him, and he and the band were good friends. Instead of basing Nirvana on Nevermind (which took influences from the Pixies anyway), listen to Bleach or In Utero, they're much better.

  • Nirvana sucks.

  • I love Pixies, Nirvana, and Sonic Youth. Music is subjective, so stop rating it above other music aside from personal preference, you daft fools.

  • why does everybody here hate nirvana? nirvana is great! im not saying nirvana is better than the pixies, because the pixies are great....i would say nirvana and the pixies are definetly even......maybe the pixies a little bit better, but not by much....

  • @RandomVideos7818 The scale is 1-10, Pixies are a a definite 10, Nirvana are somewhat of an 8, Mabye a 7.5

  • nothing else matters...

  • Personally I live cement.

    

  • Comment removed

  • @mathcurse I think that was the point, everyone loves Nirvana bc of Teen Spirit, and the fact that Kurt died, so that makes them so much better than they were, which was really good. But the Pixies were always semi underground and never had that ground breaking moment, but always just made good music.

  • @johnnyh221

    I loved Nirvana before Kurt died and Teen Spirit was my least favourite Nirvana song. So where does that pigeonhole me?

  • I think the Pixies are a somewhat more mature band than Nirvana. I like both, but getting older I appreciate the Pixies more and Nirvana less...

  • I always felt the Pixies were treated as the bridesmaid & never the bride by the music industry. By far, they were the most musically-versatile of the late 80s/early 90s grunge wave. Nirvana, whilst a great band, where never a pickle on these guys.

  • I love this sound, maybe more quintessentially Pixies than "Where Is My Mind?" Whenever I hear this, I go into Pixies headspace instantly...

  • I MUCH prefer the Pixies to Nirvana.

    Particularly the vocals. Kurt Cobain completely pales in the face of Frank Black's powerful, incredibly versatile voice

  • Short list of great Pixies songs: Gigantic, The Holiday Song, Levitate me, Nimrods Son,, I've Been Tired, Where is my Mind, Dead, Tame, No. 13 baby, Hey, Monkey gone to heaven, Rock Music, Velouria, Is she weird, All over the World, Dig for Fire, Planet of Sound, ALec Eiffel, Sad Punk, Head On (cover), Letter to Memphis, Bird dream of the olympus mons... Don't listen to the snobs who tell you that Bossanova & TLM aren't brilliant records... Oh yeah and Caribou!

  • Weird, maybe, but this is my favorite Pixies song

  • this is my youth.

  • New pixies fan right here, what songs should i look into. Already love I bleed, THe Happening, Debaser, Gouge away...

  • @AL3Xmotodude wave of mutilation, la la i love you, is she weird and hey

  • @AL3Xmotodude all of doolittle and surfer rosa albums should get you on your way

  • unuseful debate on pixies vs nirvana. they are (were) two different super(b) beuties, the brunette one and the blond one. why can't you love both?

  • Pixies are the shit! Nirvana was a rip off but let's have some respect for both becuase they both were the fucking shit!

  • i <3 the p i x i e s!!!!

  • People seem to forget that without the Pixies, Nirvana would never have existed. I'm a Nirvana fan, but Pixies outrank Nirvana in my book. Look at "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Kurt even said HIMSELF that he was trying to ripoff the Pixies.

  • i know man, the Pixies inspired Nirvana to make music, sad they're so underated

  • Why these stupid questions I do not make sense to say that a band is better than another thing that people rely on states in turn are abstract, I say once more that it is pointless to answer these questions

  • I f*#cking agree..............

  • I F***ING LOVE THIS SONG!

  • pixies and this song are amazing

  • retard.....

  • well pixies are good, but they got only 1 song better than nirvana and that is ana, and only band wath is better than nirvana to me is sonic youth, but that is metter of choice

  • @baridopamarin what are you smoking? Pixies are better than Nirvana and Sonic Youth combined.

  • u are retard pixes, better than sonic youth o.O, RETARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @baridopamarin You're calling me a retard, when your grammar doesn't even make sense. Maybe all of that Sonic Youth has rotted your mind.

  • ahahaha it was mistake, but sonic youth 4 EVER

    btw TITANIUM EXPOSE----enough to say

  • @mathcurse Kurt Cobain was qutoed as saying he was trying to imitate the Pixies on Nevermind!

  • @mathcurse yes on nirvana....pixies wouldn't exist without SY ;)

  • @durgAUMurge For sure.

  • @mathcurse well, sonic youth formed 5 years before the pixies, and obviously influenced them a lot, the pixies would not be what they are today without sonic, and sonic's guitar parts are just so much more interesting to listen to and experience, its just a matter of taste, im saying all this as a pixies fan

  • @nymetsrock

    sound more like a pixies hater than fan.

  • @1stNoBLePuP i have all their albums, im seeing them in october, im a fan

  • The question is: Why the fuck so many people listen to Nirvana and not the Pixies?

  • @EnterTheMold i ask that question to every nirvana fan i meet. They get really defensive or have no idea who the pixies even are.

  • @xrockthe40ozx

    This is bullshit , it's not because kurt cobain was a huge pixies fan that we MUST listen to the pixies... Ridiculous arguments...

    I love nirvana , but i don't like everything of the pixies have done . Everything is not SO good.

    And to answer " mathcurse " , i prefer a lot Sonic Youth and Nirvana than the pixies , everybody don't have the same music tastes.

    Faggots...

  • @EnterTheMold:

    People can listen to both Nirvana and Pixies...

  • @EnterTheMold cuz their dumb haha

  • @EnterTheMold Dear Sir: I Hate Nirvana and i love pixies and there are a big legion of fans in Portugal! They are quite different!!!! Regards Rod

  • Comment removed

  • @EnterTheMold Nirvana hit mainstream faster. people just seemed to like them more it is really messed up.

  • @EnterTheMold funny thing is Kurt Cobain would ask the same question. I think he did actually.

  • @EnterTheMold; Having been young when the pixies were coming out, i would answer it like this: It's always easier to walk a path (say, for instance, through deep snow) when even one person has blazed a trail for you. Nirvana was on a "secondary" wave, one that was bigger than their predecessors, and had people who had blazed somewhat of a trail. People remember the pixies, as they should, but forget about all of the other bands who were the pixies' contemporaries, many of whom didn't make it.

  • @EnterTheMold because the pixies are ugly and kurt is a pretty poetic white boy.

  • @EnterTheMold i listen to both!

  • @EnterTheMold pickle weasel

  • @EnterTheMold why do pixies fans have hate on nirvana they're both great bands and to telly you the truth most people i know have heard of the pixies

  • @EnterTheMold the answer to that question is three simple letters: MTV

  • Words are reduntant when it comes to this

    WOW

  • Comment removed

  • If I had to make a top ten of Pixies songs (which quite frankly would be an impossible task) this one would definitely be in it! Unbelievably brilliant song, perfect in every way.

  • honestly up there as one of the best alt/rock acts of all time.

  • One of the best bands of all time. Hands down.

  • ok :)

  • Only 673 views and two comments so far, including mine. This band and this song deserves so much more, so get your fingers out of your buttholes and start typing for fucks sake:-)

  • One of the best pixies songs ever!
