Along with Doolittle, The Pixies dominated the last two years of the 80s with back-to-back kickassery. Surfer Rosa, the band's first full-length album, is filled with to the brim with choice tracks like 'Bone Machine' and 'Where Is My Mind?'. As per usual, the Pixies' offbeat humor is there in full force. It's most apparent in 'Gigantic', a love song between a woman and a black man('s huge penis).

'Cactus', 'River Euphrates', 'Break My Body', 'Brick Is Red'. I could go on and on about the glory that is Surfer Rosa and The Pixies in general, but the album says enough by itself.
