The Pixies are one of those bands like Velvet Underground and Joy Division whose influence was massive even though their commercial success was limited.
@@swfcocs1 yeah, Kurt loved the Pixies. he even said that he wanted to do music like them. And he did it: that's so obvious! Dave Grohl used to snubbed Nirvana songs, saying that "This is so Pixies". Even before I knew about these statements, when I heard Nirvana first songs, I always thought they were inspired by The Pixies, and take it to another level, specially those screams by Kurt, that Franck Black only did ocasionally in his songs. I used to say that The Pixies were pre-grunge.
I love this song!!! The high moaning in the back is Kim Deal, she became the lead singer for The Breeders. The Pixies influenced so many bands, including Nirvana.
Gotta be one of the earliest grunge songs. Wicked tune, I think it is the song at the end of Fight Club. Hint: Jay and Amber, you should watch this movie, it's a mind bender.
You could also argue it sounds like early 2000's as well. After all early 2000's are esentially a continuation of the 90's in terms of media and the way people lived their lives and carried themselves.
Pixies trained ears for Nirvana. When you're ready for more, check out some of these bangers -- "Gigantic", "Bone Machine", "Break My Body", "Monkey Gone to Heaven", "Debaser", "Here Comes Your Man" ...
"Monkey Gone to Heaven" is one of my 2 favorite songs with "Monkey" in the title. "Shock the Monkey" by Peter Gabriel just edges it out for me. lol (Sorry, not a fan of "Brass Monkey")
@@Johnny_Socko love the screen name, by the way. One of my favorite tv shows growing up as a kid! I even have a Giant Robot t-shirt to this day, as an overgrown adult. I also concur with your "Monkey" song choices, too!
I believe it, but they were so underappreciated for so long...for decades after the masterpieces that were Surfer Rosa and Doolittle they were still considered a small alt-rock band. Only when they reunited for Coachella in 2004 did they realize a whole new generation had discovered them.
@@saintsataniko2116 Right. Well, I didn't get into them until Tromp Le Monde came out, then they broke up shortly after. I thought they'd be as big as Nirvana to future gens, but since they returned and don't have the same magic, kind of sunk their cred a bit...idk, imo.
Another Gen X'er here who absolutely loved this band back in the early 90's and, in very fond memory, to this day! Doolittle and Trompe Le Monde were my favorite albums, but I can party with the even older stuff too.

@@peeg100 the Vaselines, Wipers Buzzcocks and the Melvins were favourites of Kurt but the Frogs were his jam. He listened to its only right and natural constantly. That’s where his head was at and you can clearly hear the influence of that album on bleach.
As an example of how influential Pixies were to Cobain, he was once quoted, in a good way, saying "I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies" with regards to the making of Smells like Teen Spirit. Also, both David Bowie and Bono were featured in the Pixies documentary "Gouge" giving them extremely high praise. Thomas Yorke, of Radiohead, also said "When I was at college, it was The Pixies and REM that changed my life".
Those "angel" voices feel to me more like mythical siren calls that are beautiful but because of their beauty they distract and split your mind from the more linear parts of the music. Absolute genius. When it came out there was no other sound like this. It was ground breaking. Even Bowie recognized how important this band was.
Kim Deal with the background voice and Bass. Black Francis (Frank Black) on acoustic guitar and vocals. Joey Santiago on electric guitar. David Lovering on drums. The perfect rock band with edge and alternative style all their own.
The album "Doolittle" with so many outstanding songs it's almost a greatest hits album. "Debaser", "Wave of Mutilation", "Here Comes Your Man", "Monkey's Gone To Heaven", "Gouge Away" and then " Dig For Fire".
The Pixies are top notch, just a few suggestions for them. Here Comes Your Man, Gigantic, Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Velouria, Monkey Gone To Heaven, Mr. Grieves. I could name more for you, but it would be a massive list😍
@@thisnicelady 100%, Both Joey and Kim have been central pillars of the band's origin and history, and unfortunately, they haven't been quite the same since Kim left. Even though Paz has been an admirable replacement and holds her own, things just haven't been quite as magical. I still like and follow them though.
Ok, now you've gotta watch Fight Club on your movie channel. Also, there are SO many great Pixies songs that you can try - Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, Gigantic, Vamos, Caribou....it's a long long list.
"Dig For Fire", "Monkey Gone To Heaven", "Debaser", "Gigantic", "Here Comes Your Man", "Wave Of Mutilation", "Gouge Away", "Velouria", "Letter To Memphis"....this band has sooooooo many good tracks! Also, another band you haven`t found yet called "Placebo" do a brilliant live cover of this song with the lead singer of The Pixies, Frank Black, the video is on here...
I bought this amazing album, Surfer Rosa, on cassette! So this song has been in my life for a long time and in 2023 Pixies still remain my favorite band ever.
The Pixies were such a great band. After they broke up Frank Black put out some good music. He is the lead singer and songwriter on this track. And The Breeders were great too!
This one AND The Chambers Brothers on the same day? To quote Tom Petty, "Oh my my, oh heck yes" One of the songs that inspired Nirvana. And how can Jordan forget Kim Deal's iconic bass?
I got to see the Pixies live recently, they started touring again after decades. It was great, there were a lot of young people who didn't listen to them when they were still active but everyone in the room sang along to Where Is My Mind.
There is no understating how different and cool this was in the 80s. Pixies were on the very leading edge of the alternative music movement. Bowie talked them up, Nirvana cited them as an influence. They were pioneers.
Great band. This album was a watershed moment in my music listening life. I was a college dj at the time and it was all over our station. Gigantic is also one of my favorites from this record. Nice reaction and thank you.
Such a great reaction, Jay and Amber. Pixies are a great band, you should react to, 'Monkey Gone to Heaven', 'Is She Weird', 'Velouria', 'I Bleed', 'Here Comes Your Man', and 'Debaser', there are other tracks but these are some good ones to start with.
Jay&Amber, for female Friday: Jackie DeShannon - "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" or "What the World Needs Now Is Love"!! ! She’s one of the early singer-songwriters. She co-wrote Put a Little Love in Your Heart. She wrote the music for her original “Bette Davis Eyes”, lyrics by Donna Weiss. Kim Carnes cover of Bette Davis Eyes was a worldwide hit/record of the year, w/a very different arrangement. edit- the Pixies "Hey" wasn't a single, and today's song barely charted. Try one of their top 10 US Alternative chart hits, like "Here Comes Your Man".
An incredible track - utterly made it their own - haunting, scary, beautiful, exciting, all in one package. Very glad you both liked it. Much more from them, but below comments have suggested the best stuff! :)
The Pixies were so good back in the '80s, They were great live in concert ticket price $3.50, I wish there was a time machine so I can go back to the '80s,
Excellent choice! Love this song. The Pixies are known as surf rock/punk rock sounds. Love Joey Santiago's guitar playing on this. The Pixies were short lived but damn did they make an impact. The drummer, Kim Deal moved on after the band split to form an incredible band called, THE BREEDERS in the 90's. They were highly regarded.
My boy Barry used to make me mix tapes at school around 93 lots of pixies and violent fems and the judgment night soundtrack super rad memories 🙌 big Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Legends of Indie music. I miss bands like this. Who were allowed to experiment and produce such a unique sound. This song was used in the movie Fight Club.
That first Pixies album was an experience. Some of the tracks were just screaming, then "Wave of Mutilation" and "Here comes your man." were almost pop songs, with "Where is my mind?" and "This Monkey's Gone To Heaven" in the middle somewhere. They definitely represented the eerie side of early Grunge.
There is a band called the Vitamin String Quartet and they do instrumental quartet versions of more bands than you can think of. I walked down the aisle at my wedding to their version of this song. It’s beautiful
I love how the Pixies issued an apology for this song inadvertently shutting off people’s (Google assistant) alarms in the morning because of “STOP.” 😂
I saw these guys live a dozen years or so ago, and went in thinking I knew 2 songs - this one and "Wave of Mutilation". Song after song they played I kept saying: "wait - I know this one too!" Fantastic band, and they put on a fantastic show!
The Pixies are one of my all-time favorite bands and were definitely ahead of their time and influenced so many bands in the 90s. Kurt Cobain said he was just trying to write Pixies songs when he was writing Nirvana songs. I've always loved the harmonies between Charles (lead singer) & Kim (bass player singing the oooo ooos). This song was also the perfect song used for the ending of Fight Club a movie that you should definitely react to although it is a bit brutal :). I could go on for hours recommending songs but I'll just list some of their top songs, "Velouria", "Vamos", "I've Been Tired", "In Heaven" (Kim's version), "Tame", "Here Comes Your Man", "Monkey Gone To Heaven", "Gigantic" (Kim's version), "Wave of Mutilation" (UK Surf) & "La La Love You" since its sung by David Lovering (Drummer). Also some of their most recent songs e.g. "Greens & Blues" & "Indie Cindie".
Absolutely Giddy watching y’all React to this amazing Song. Huge Hit with a wild Riff that keeps going just like the angelic voices… Already watched it several times. Thanks. 🤘😎🤘
This is one of their all-time BEST, definitely. You should also definitely check Monkey's Gone to Heaven and Debaser, those are both similar total BANGERS ...
I imagine a lot of people probably imagine this song is about drugs, given the lyrics, but apparently this song was inspired by one time the lead singer went scuba diving in the caribbean, and the strange feeling he had while diving in the ocean.
Pixies are about innovation. I just saw them at the Anthem in DC and they still rock hard. I can't tell whether Amber knew this, but the riff was from the 80s for this song. Next try either Monkey Gone to Heaven or Here Comes Your Man.
The Pixies are one of those bands like Velvet Underground and Joy Division whose influence was massive even though their commercial success was limited.
As the saying goes for all these bands. They didn't sell many records but those who did all started bands.
I mean their influence on Nirvana alone ...damn..the Joy Division comparison is excellent, I might also add Stooges to that list...
@@cryptogenticdamn who actually said that lol, I heard that forever ago and it always stuck with me

Not for awhile
Gotta be one of the earliest grunge songs. Wicked tune, I think it is the song at the end of Fight Club. Hint: Jay and Amber, you should watch this movie, it's a mind bender.
This 80s song sounds like what the 90s turned out to be. ❤
The Pixies invented the 90s

The Pixies were so ahead of their time. That song could have been released anytime in the last 3 decades and seemed cutting edge.
They felt like the most popular band among my GenX peers. You could always put Pixies on and most people would be into it.
I believe it, but they were so underappreciated for so long...for decades after the masterpieces that were Surfer Rosa and Doolittle they were still considered a small alt-rock band. Only when they reunited for Coachella in 2004 did they realize a whole new generation had discovered them.

So true. I had a friend in the early 90s who we had absolutely no other music taste in common but we both loved the Pixies

This band is one of the reasons there was grunge music in the 90’s. When this came out there was very little like it
Pixies are the best and bring back many memories for me of the 90s. This song is featured at a pivotal point in the movie Fight Club. Love it.

Here Comes Your Man brings back happy memories for me.

Nope, Cobain’s favorite band was the frogs. Common knowledge.

Pixies we’re essentially Porto-Grunge with the “quiet LOUD quiet” progression of their songs.
Those "angel" voices feel to me more like mythical siren calls that are beautiful but because of their beauty they distract and split your mind from the more linear parts of the music. Absolute genius. When it came out there was no other sound like this. It was ground breaking. Even Bowie recognized how important this band was.

“This Monkey’s Gone to Heaven” is a must
The album "Doolittle" with so many outstanding songs it's almost a greatest hits album. "Debaser", "Wave of Mutilation", "Here Comes Your Man", "Monkey's Gone To Heaven", "Gouge Away" and then " Dig For Fire".
Though "Dig for Fire" is on "Bossanova", not on "Doolittle"... but I guess you knew that, right ?
@@Reani71 yep but late night laziness hit so just differentiated with the "and then".
Tame!
Surfer Rosa, as an album, is just mind-bogglingly insane. It’s like schizophrenia personified in recorded sound, you should give it a listen in total.
The Pixies are top notch, just a few suggestions for them. Here Comes Your Man, Gigantic, Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Velouria, Monkey Gone To Heaven, Mr. Grieves. I could name more for you, but it would be a massive list😍
Yes....love all these especially Wave of Mutilation and Velouria
Yes, to all of these! "Velouria" is just so underappreciated.
@@akadros310On Wave of Mutilation, I prefer the UK Serf version that was used on the Pump Up the Volume soundtrack.
That’s a top notch selection of Pixies songs, with five coming from just one album.
This always reminds me of Fight Club and Mr Robot
This bass part is so fun to play. I mean, all of Kim Deal's bass parts are fun to play, but this one is particularly hypnotic.
Also, Joey Santiago is an incredible guitarist. You can't go wrong with the Pixies!
@@thisnicelady 100%, Both Joey and Kim have been central pillars of the band's origin and history, and unfortunately, they haven't been quite the same since Kim left.

back together and still making new music. a young female fan is the new bassist.
A gal I worked with who I adored loved this song. Thus I adore this song.
Pixies once alternative now mainstream, songs used in advertising.
I was 12 in 1992, my very first concert was U2 and they had The Pixies as openers. My dad won tickets on the radio.
One of my favorites of all time. Huge pixies fan also.
This is such a classic song. Now you guys have to watch Fight Club. :)
This one AND The Chambers Brothers on the same day? To quote Tom Petty, "Oh my my, oh heck yes"

Great band. This album was a watershed moment in my music listening life. I was a college dj at the time and it was all over our station. Gigantic is also one of my favorites from this record. Nice reaction and thank you.
In 2016 Paz Lenchantin joined the Pixies and played the Bass. She was also the Bassist for Maynard Keenan`s (of Tool) Band "A Perfect Circle".
What a treat, great times.
So now I suggest the Pixies “Here Comes Your Man “. It has a 1960’s feel. I just love it.
You are in for a ride with the Pixies!
The Pixies are on a worldwide tour right now! I've seen them 6 times since 1989. They sound amazing live❤

These are a band that pushed the boundaries along with Talking Heads and 1970s Roxy Music
This is the song in the last scene of Fight Club. Epic.
Love both of your channels so much. Thank y’all for continuing to brighten my days ❤
A Thin Lizzy shirt means more Thin Lizzy listening. :))
Everyone's favorite
band's/singer's favorite band.
Gouge Away is another fantastic Pixies jam. My favorite.
Thanks for picking up on this vibe, folks..
I love how the Pixies issued an apology for this song inadvertently shutting off people’s (Google assistant) alarms in the morning because of “STOP.” 😂
Wow, I wonder what the bit right after _Oh My Golly!_ would make happen. 😉
I saw these guys live a dozen years or so ago, and went in thinking I knew 2 songs - this one and "Wave of Mutilation". Song after song they played I kept saying: "wait - I know this one too!" Fantastic band, and they put on a fantastic show!
crazy how i first heard this song in malignant and now it has that eerie feeling when i listen to the background vocals. gives me chills every time
"Hey" > "Where is my mind?" - This is that one song that casuals know from the movie Fight Club and insist they know the band 😂
Listen to the Fleetwood Mac song "Big Love" (LIVE VERSION)

Also some of their most recent songs e.g. "Greens & Blues" & "Indie Cindie".
Love this song. You guys should listen to Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies
Absolutely Giddy watching y’all React to this amazing Song. Huge Hit with a wild Riff that keeps going just like the angelic voices…
Already watched it several times. Thanks. 🤘😎🤘
Great review, guys! All roads lead to Pixies…
"Oddly Cool" that's 80s/90s Alternative!
Anything off Doolittle is worth your time.
This is one of their all-time BEST, definitely. You should also definitely check Monkey's Gone to Heaven and Debaser, those are both similar total BANGERS ...
Struggling to describe Frank Black's voice is a common issue; love seeing you folks delve into this.
Fairly similar to trying to explain to my girlfriend that I LOVE Bob Dylan's voice. They just fit.
I am playing that song at school of rock wolfchase on my guitar with the performance groups
I imagine a lot of people probably imagine this song is about drugs, given the lyrics, but apparently this song was inspired by one time the lead singer went scuba diving in the caribbean, and the strange feeling he had while diving in the ocean.
If y’all haven’t seen Fight Club, you should consider it for reaction. And react to more of The Breeders too.
Pixies are about innovation. I just saw them at the Anthem in DC and they still rock hard. I can't tell whether Amber knew this, but the riff was from the 80s for this song. Next try either Monkey Gone to Heaven or Here Comes Your Man.
Kim Deal IS a majestic angel.
first time i heard this song. i just wanted to cry. so beautiful, coming from a person who listens purely to hip hop.
My favorite Pixies tunes are "Wave of Mutilation" and "Veloria"
saw frank black aka black francis several times live so good, did his own roadying, just a legend.
That backing vocal was Kim Deal, also the lead singer of the Breeders.
