The Pixies - Surfer Rosa (Top 500 Countdown Update)

I thought I was generally a Pixies fan, but now I'm not so sure. I know they take a bit of getting use to, but there is really nothing on this album that grabs me. Doolittle works for me because it is edgy and cantankorous, but it does it with a certain pop sensibility. In other words the songs have catchy beats despite the jangled harsh sound being produced by the band. The album also seems to have a flow to it that this album is lacking. Perhaps it is included in the list because it is the Pixies first full album and they went on to have such a large influence on other bands. I would argue that Doolittle is the album to make that representation as I see Surfer Rosa as merely a warmup for what is to come.
