Pixies, "Surfer Rosa" & "Come on Pilgrim"
4AD records, released: 1988
Those of you out there who are only familiar with Black Francis/Frank Black's "ode to the Smashing Pumpkins" solo work should be pleasantly surprised by this, the Pixies first release, Come on Pilgrim, rereleased with their first album, Surfer Rosa. This is probably the only "must have" Pixies. Not that some of the later recordings didn't have some great moments, but, lets face it, the pop sensibilities the band developed over the years just leaves one feeling cheap. Come on Pilgrim kicks ass.
