Hey people. Sorry in the delay in posting. I've been having problems uploading the tunes to Uploadgalaxy for the past week and then my computer died on me last night. I will hopefully solve all of this soon. Bear with me and come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Pixies existed in Pre-Nirvana USA, and yet they did get to taste some level of MTV style "120 Minutes" fame.
Visionaries for their tense balance of barbwire guitar lines and emotionless singing about emotional stuff, they came just before they could have Really cashed in on alternarock hip. But like Ol' Blue Eyes says, that's life.
Here, from "The Pixies at the BBC" (incidentally, just what is that picture on the cover??!!) , some songs later made (semi-) famous ...
... and a short lil Beatles cover. 
- Hey
- Monkey Gone to Heaven
- Caribou
- Levitate Me
- Wave of Mutilation
- There Goes my Gun
- Wild Honey Pie 
Here are the best songs From Wire's debut, 1977's "Pink Flag" (as illustrated.)
The last track ("Strange") was more famously covered by REM, "12XSU" was covered by Minor Threat, "Lowdown" by "Eleventh Dream Day", oh, and the first track, the awesome "Ex Lion Tamer", by Henry Rollins...
From: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_1100:
When is a punk record no punk? When it's post punk? Wouldn't it have to been made after the punk years? Can a post punk record be made while the bomb for the punk explosion has not yet exploded? These questions seem stupid, but they have a purpose.
The album Pink Flag by Wire is an enigma. It was made in 1977 when
punk was just starting to explore the airwaves, yet it sounds nothing like the
material being made by it's punk brethren. Yes, this is a punk album, but not as you know it. Yes, it has the short, blazing songs, but there are also slow,
angular breaks.
