A Song About A Guy Named Tony

#28 Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim: The Pixies. I can put these two CDs together because for a time in the 90s you could find them on the same disc (and because it is my list and I do what I want). This is a great intro to the Pixies and a good intro to what they were to do later on, which we will hear about later on in this list. This is the CD that made me fall in love with Kim Deal, her infectious bass lines and her sweet, sexy voice, which somehow works well with the screeching raw vocals and imagery from Black Francis. Gigantic is one of their all time greats, and is a song about... well... its not too hard to figure it out yourself.
