Bottom/ "Planet Of Sound" (4AD, 1991) is a song by the American alternative rock band Pixies, from their album Trompe le Monde. The song describes an Extra Terrestrial's search for the origin of Rock music he has received. In every planet he goes to, he is told that "This ain't the planet of sound". The Pixies' music was heavily influenced by punk and surf rock, and while highly melodic, was capable of being tremendously abrasive at the same time. Black Francis was the band's primary songwriter and singer and had a distinctly desperate, yowling delivery. He typically wrote cryptic songs about offbeat subjects, such as UFOs and surrealism. References to mental instability, violent Biblical imagery, physical injury, and incest feature in many of the band's songs. Top/ "Start Me Up" (Rolling Stones/Virgin, 1981) is a classic hit single by the Rolling Stones featured on the album Tattoo You. The song opens with what has since become a trademark riff for Keith Richards.
