The Pixies


My love of The Pixies is in the middle of a revival, with the best of their Doolittle and Surfer Rosa album tracks accompanying me on my journey home each day at very loud volume. My favourite tracks are..

There Goes My Gun
Broken Face
Crackity Jones
River Euphrates
No. 13 Baby
La La Love You
Dead
Wave Of Mutilation
Cactus
Mr Grieves
Where Is My Mind

The Pixies are an alternative rock band from Boston and heavily influenced by punk. I saw them live once on 8 June 1991 at Crystal Palace Bowl in London but didn't appreciate their greatness then. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana said that he was basically trying to rip-off the Pixies when Nirvana did their Nevermind album.
