Maybe every song is the best song. I've particularly got a thing for tracks like Gigantic and River Euphrates.
The beginning of Gigantic always makes me think of "I Wanna Be Adored" by the Stone Roses.
Vamos is real good, too!
My personal favorite Pixies album, though I'll never be sure how much I was influenced by some of Kurt Cobain's top albums lists.

I used to have a bit of a girl crush on Kim Deal... :?

She's not nearly twee enough for my taste, MSS. I think she'd have me in a fight. I'd much rather have Sarah Cracknell or Joanna Newsom - they're far more likely to make daisy chains than clobber me over the head with a bass guitar...

"There were rumors, he was into field hockey players".....

It's a great party record, and just an overall good time. It's the Pixies at their most playful, fun, and effervescent. It's very much a summer record for me, for these reasons.

Don't anyone touch my stuff...

Much, much prefer Surfer Rosa to Doolittle - not only for the Albini 'production', but also for the fact that half the lyrics are totally and utterly bonkers.

I'd also humbly (!) suggest that Gigantic is nowhere close to being the best track on the album. Unless, of course, you have a 'thing' for Kim Deal. In which case you really should get out more.

It was so hush hush
They were so... quiet about it
And then the next thing you know...

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It's called Tony's Theme 😉

Great album. Never lived up to Doolittle, but definetly the bands scond best. 😁
