ComfortEagle:
I've known about The Pixies for a while now, but just recently have actually heard them, and decided to buy one of thier albums. Which would be a good one to start out with?

brandie:
I actually got Death to the Pixies first (their greatest hits album) and thought it was a real good intro.  It's got a greatest hits part and a live CD.

That's what I did, too. Doolittle's their most popular album, but I think that diehard Pixie fans prefer Surfer Rosa. All of their albums are good though.

TynansAnger:
I tend to like to chronologically. While it's much noisier than their later stuff, I'd go with Come on Pilgrim/Surfer Rosa. Come on Pilgrim was their first EP, and Surfer Rosa their debut LP. I think you can get these on the same disc, which is what I would do. If you're feeling like you want something slightly more melodic, go with Doolittle, which is probably their best album, and certainly their most influential

The Hammered:
Come on Pilgrim is the best if you ask me, but it's less than twenty minutes (not that their full lengths were very long either), so if you get it I'd recommend getting it with another album (or that Come on Pilgrim/Surfer Rosa disk which I've heard of, but I think that might be only in Japan or something).

For the albums, Surfer Rosa or Doolittle would probably be the best intro. Surfer Rosa used to be my favorite, but lately I've been more into Bossanova. Basically, if you want harder-rocking stuff, go for Surfer Rosa, if you want poppier and more varied songs, go for Doolittle, and if you want more atmospheric songs, go for Bossanova. But you can't really go wrong.
