Pixies Albums Ranked From Worst to Best

Time for another pick from our patrons over on Patreon. This week we're covering alternative rock pioneers, Pixies! They're no stranger to the channel, having won Album of the Year honors from Jason twice (89/90) as well as multiple nominations from Kramzer (88/89). How will that translate when compared to the rest of their catalog? Time to find out!

The Pixies are an American alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts. Until 2013, the band comprised Black Francis (vocals, rhythm guitar, songwriter), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), Kim Deal (bass, backing vocals) and David Lovering (drums). The band disbanded acrimoniously in 1993 but reunited in 2004. After Deal left in 2013, the Pixies hired Kim Shattuck as a touring bassist; she was replaced that year by Paz Lenchantin, who became a permanent member in 2016.

The Pixies are associated with the 1990s alternative rock boom, and draw on elements including punk rock and surf rock. Their music is known for its dynamic "loud-quiet-loud" shifts and song structures. Francis is the Pixies' primary songwriter; his often surreal lyrics cover offbeat subjects such as extraterrestrials, incest, and biblical violence. They achieved modest popularity in the US but were more successful in Europe. Their jarring pop sound influenced acts such as Nirvana, Radiohead, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Weezer. Their popularity grew in the years after their breakup, leading to a 2004 reunion and sold-out world tours, and three further albums: Indie Cindy (2014), Head Carrier (2016) and Beneath the Eyrie (2019).
