“Cannonball” by The Breeders [1993]
Random Music History Song of the Day
In 1992, with the Pixies on a permanent break, Kim Deal was able to focus completely on her work with The Breeders, a band that had been a side project for her and Tonya Donelly of Throwing Muses since 1988. In the next two years, The Breeders opened for Nirvana on tour and released their second full-length album, Last Splash. Among the best songs Deal wrote in this period was “Cannonball.” Mostly due to the catchy repetitive bass and guitar lines, the song rose all the way to #2 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts. “Cannonball” remains The Breeders’ most famous song.
