In their early years, the Pixies pretty much changed the ’90s alt-rock game with their idiosyncratic sound, a unique blend of indie rock, psychedelia, noise, and surf rock. Come on Pilgrim (1987) and Surfer Rosa (1988) remain among the most seminal indie rock albums of all time, elevating the band to near-mythic status for fans of the genre. Their newest album, Head Carrier, was released in 2016.
