Doolittle by Pixies
I loved the Chart Show. Surely EVERYONE loved the Chart Show. Not only did you get the main charts, but you also got the video vault and a peek at the dance, rock and indie charts. Indie was the most exciting of the three, each week throwing a new (to many) band out there with a low budget, high entertainment video. That's where I first met Pixies.
A lot of people will claim Surfer Rosa is THE Pixies album, but Doolittle has the better pop tunes on it - incredibly weird and inventive pop tunes admittedly. It starts with Debaser, which should be enough to win most "best album" arguments and it is one of those albums where you're enjoying a song whilst also getting excited about the next song.
PS Hands up who still sometimes calls them "The Pixies"? There's always a temptation to make them the definitive article. Which they are.
