5. Mclusky - Alan is a Cowboy Killer (2002)

Sounding like a way more aggressive version of the Pixies, Mclusky was a Welsh band that formed in 1996. This song fits the Pixies mold to a tee, starting off quiet, then exploding for a short time, only to return back to a relative peace. This band, which disbanded in 2005, has three albums....all of which are highly worth checking out. This song is from their 2002 release Mclusky Do Dallas, which is one of my favorite records of the decade.
