Doolittle — 1989

The quiet-loud-quiet template that Nirvana and countless others borrowed, packed with surreal lyrics and razor hooks. Tight, strange and hugely influential. The essential Pixies record. Sits between the landmarks and earns its spot.

On vinyl: The original pressing is often easy to find second-hand in good condition.
