100 Mavericks # 25 Black Francis


 So while we're here. A man who wasn't originally on my list but certainly isn't out of place. Actually Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV. Someone who treats songwriting like a mathematical exercise, all the while twinning his main inspiration points of Iggy Pop and The Bible. Nobody had ever thought of it before. It's impossible to truly express how deeply exciting those early Pixies records seemed back in the late eighties.
