oh yes, how could i forget the pixies?  the first time i ever heard them
was when they opened for u2 in worcester ma - i guess it was back in
'91.  didn't really catch me there, i thought they were too loud.  :)
but, later, when i bought trompe le monde and listened to mr black
francis's brilliantly psychotic ramblings i became hooked.  listened to
them obsessively on the bus ride to/from school.  probably still my fave
pop/punk band.  just need come on pilgrim to finish the collection...

and if we're talking about first concerts, i'd say it was the violent
femmes.  unfortunately, my parents came along w/ me too (and not because
their fans).  :(
