1990: "Doe", The Breeders

Kim Deal's lack of contributions may have made Bossanova a one dimensional Pixies record, but Pod proved Deal could beat Black Francis at his own game. Recruiting Tanya Donnelly from the Throwing Muses seemed like a masterstroke on paper, but in the end Donnelly's co-writing credits were limited to a single song, so from an artistic standpoint the Breeders were Kim Deal's baby from the start... a fact that undoubtedly fed into the Pixies' early demise as the last couple Pixies albums would essentially become Frank Black solo projects anyway.

So in the end, instead of another certified Pixies masterpiece we got two alumni records that were merely excellent. Btw, I have no fucking idea what's going on in this video, but the only other studio version that popped up on Youtube had terrible sound, so I decided to risk the "wtf?" factor to bring you better tuneage.
