If you believe Kurt Cobain, Smells Like Teen Spirit was his attempt to write a Pixies song. Which makes this long-disbanded Boston quartet anchored by Frank Black (then Black Francis) and future Breeder Kim Deal perhaps the most influential band of the '90s.

Not bad for a group that only put out four much-beloved albums -- we know people who still debate the merits of Surfer Rosa vs. Doolittle -- and a handful of singles before acrimoniously splitting in 1993.

Like its title indicates, this set collects all 19 B-sides from the Pixies' career. Annotated by Black himself, the set has the usual mix of reworked album tracks (River Euphrates), live cuts (Vamos) and oddball covers (In Heaven from Eraserhead, along with Neil Young's Waterlong and I've Been Waiting For You), rendered in the Pixies' trademark jagged, buzzy style. If you don't own any Pixies albums, this isn't the place to start -- many of these are quick knockoffs that didn't make the cut, after all.

But for fans and collectors, it's a nice memento of a band whose impact sadly dwarfed their output.
