> here are some albums that have changed my musical perspective: > > the pixies - Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim > 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). :( ethan
