587. Pixies - surfer rosa

Surfer Rosa is as perfect as the pair of breasts you see on this album's cover. It's a masterpiece, from beginning to end. Not a bad track or weak moment - it should be a staple in everyone's musical library. In college I had a poster of this record over my bed - I was in love with everything on this disc: the music, the type, the layout, photography - even the mysterious billing of Deal as "Mrs. John Murphy". If you don't have it by now buy it - also check out the work of Vaughn Oliver, who along with the Pixies (and Cocteau Twins) became synonymous with the label 4AD.
