Pixies - Doolittle

There are few groups of musicians that I would put anywhere near the title of "my favorite band". However in a gun to my head style situation it would probably come down to Dinosaur Jr and Pixies. Me writing about how great The Pixies are is somewhat of a task. I feel that maybe I don't have the writing skills to really get across just how fantastic and influential they are. But here's to trying.

The Pixies were first introduced to the world in there debut EP "C'mon Pilgrim", no one had heard anything like it before, no one had screamed like Frank Black, no one had played bass with the style that Kim Deal did, they were on many levels original and a welcomed change from the hair metal fad that was in place at the time. They would then release two fantastic full lengths, Surfer Rosa and Doolittle. However after the success of Doolittle things started to go sour between the band. Most notably Deal & Black, they split up after Deal finally decided she couldn't stand Black anymore. Move forward an era and The Pixies have reformed, after all these years they still blow away every other bad live and with the promise of new material we can rest assured that maybe the greatest band of all time are back and getting on just fine.
