Pixies - Doolittle
/
Label: 4AD
Year: 1989
Genre: Alternative Rock
Recommending Person: Alura Henry
This is one of my favorite albums. I believe I got into in college because the GOAT soundtrack of NCAA 06 Football had "Debaser" on it. I also was playing a lot of guitar hero at the time and "Wave of Mutilation" made a definite impact.
Is "Tame" a bad song? Yes, yes it is. But the rest of the album is unbelievable consistent and has a song for every single emotion. You can put the album on and put on a different song depending on what mood you want to re-enforce. It is funny to believe that many people believe this was the darkest and hardest people could play.
Fun Fact: If I ever get married I'm going to walk down the aisle to "Here Comes Your Man", but just the ending chorus. Because I'm sure it will feel like an eternity.
“There is a wait so long,
You’ll never wait so long
Here comes your man
There is a wait so long
You’ll never wait so long
Here comes your man”
