The Pixies - Wave of Mutilation
The sea seldom gets the credit it deserves in music. Twangy guitars have never told you anything about the sea, nor have close harmonies. Debussy's La Mer may have captured a little of the mystery of the oceans, but none of their power. You've got 1.3x109 km3 of saltwater rushing about the surface of this planet. That's 1.3x1021 litres of water, weighing approximately 1.33x1018 tonnes. Where does that get the credit it deserves?
Well, it gets a little on the Pixies' mighty Wave of Mutilation taken from their classic 1989 album Doolittle. And that's a start.
