Although Zen Arcade had more points in this list because of the sheer vastness of the number of tracks, I tend to prefer this album for a reason I can't immediately give (although when I look back at the many tracks I like from this album...). Check out the KEFX performance on youtube where he plays three songs from this album of which a fantastic version of the title track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dSm57OMnV0
In any case I like everything from this band from the earlier punk songs to the more elaborate pop songs on their latter album. I know it's maybe a bit exaggerated but to me Bob Mould and Grant Hart are the Lennon/McCartney of the indie scene. Their hard edged tracks always had a melodic and adventurous side to them.

One of the first newly issued CD's I bought when I bought my first CD player in the beginning of 1989 was "Doolittle" by the Pixies and it was a real discovery for me because I hadn't heard of Husker Du or Sonic Youth or other indie bands at the time yet.
A bit after that I bought the CD reissue of "Surfer Rosa" which also included the EP "Come On Pilgrim" and I liked this album even better because and all the 22 tracks had an immediate appeal and a bonus: it contained a few tracks sung (Gigantic) or co-sung (River Euphrates) or with some sexy spoken comments (I'm Amazed) by Kim Deal (Gigantic), a real indie heroin apart from the other Kim of Sonic Youth.
