50 years of Tunes - 1989 - Pixies "Doolittle"

Oh, hello. It's those Pixies again.

This is a magnificent album opening with the bass thrum of Debaser which is one of my all time favourite songs. Monkey Gone To Heaven might be the bands best known song. Tame & Crackity Jones are big live favourites. In 2009 I got to see them play the whole album in full and in order at Brixton Academy.
