The Pixies were, to my mind, easily the best of the "big" American indie rock bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s... I was never much of a fan of Sonic Youth or anything that came out of Seattle.
I didn't go see them on their reunion tour because I just didn't have the urge - plus, it takes something really special (like, say, the Specials) to get me to a venue the size of the Olympia these days - but I'm glad my younger friends who weren't around to see them the first time got the opportunity. By all accounts they were excellent.
Here's a live clip of a track from Come On Pilgrim, their debut release. How on earth could this be over 20 years ago?
