B-sides and otherwise/Pixies

As I am listening to the Pixies Complete B-sides album I realize how bloody great a band they were. Black's voice is always powerful even when he screams more than he sings, Kim has a voice that's both sexy and strong. There's the fabulous guitar distortion that I never get tired of hearing, the beat's so alive and kicking. ''Evil Hearted You'' which is sung completely in spanish has to be one of the best Pixies song ever. The band never stopped pushing the limits of music, they're what alternative music is all about. Sadly they broke up but they left us with a few great albums that were never really mainstream yet they got some recognition because they sounded like themselves and no one else.
