Surfer Rosa times two. Facts: Bone Machine, Gigantic, River Euphrates, and Where Is My Mind? are all better than any song on Doolittle. And Black Francis never wrote a line better than "I was talking to Peachy-Peach about kissy kiss." Also, most Pixies records are bad.
A debate: why do most music writers believe, incorrectly, that Doolittle is the best Pixies record (Surfer Rosa), that Daydream Nation is the best Sonic Youth record (Sister), and that Loveless is the best My Bloody Valentine record (Isn't Anything)? Always one record too late.
