10 Even More Perfect 1980s Rock Albums With No Bad Songs

10. Pixies - Doolittle

Released in 1989, Doolittle is the greatest album ever put out by Pixies. Brimming with energy, emotion and some mightily catchy riffs and beats, the band's second record and the fallout from it was so intense that it caused the group to go on a year-long break that was ultimately the beginning of the end for the original run of the Pixies.

Doolittle gets off to a roaring start with Debaser - arguably Pixies' greatest song? - and that's immediately followed up by the rolling, raucous bassline and strained Black Francis vocals of Tame. In those two tracks, which combined run for less than five minutes, you have everything you need to know about Doolittle and about Pixies, period.

Of course, there's way more to Doolittle than just Debaser and Tame, with the cheerier, melodic Here Comes Your Man another all-time great from the band. Then there's Monkey Gone To Heaven, which for your writer here was the first introduction to Pixies; an introduction that instantly grabs you and makes you want to discover more about this most unique, most troubled of bands.

Pixies would never again hit the heights of Doolittle, and this '89 offering remains a flawless record to this very day.
