Taking Sides Pixies vs. Nirvana

i saw killing joke supporting the pixies, if that helps mr in NYC.
about the pixies' influence on nevermind, i always thought the monkey picture on the back cover of nevermind was a tribute to bossanova (the pixies album, obv)

Well, I think everyone's tired of that particular debate, and since all living parties concerned have patched things up....what's the point in drumming it all up again?

The only good thing about the Joke supporting the Pixies is that ideally it turned a few spend-ready Pixies fans onto a superior band. Beyond that, the Pixies aren't fit to felch the cow-dung from between the treads of Killing Joke's collective Doc Martens.

No contest. Pixies by a mile. Can't stand Nirvbloodyvana.

I was in a bit of a pissy mood when this one came around last time and cast a tongue in cheek vote for Pavement. Not surprisingly took a bit of shit for it. Anyway, in the spirit of reconcilliation my real answer is the Pixies.

Not trying to take things off topic or anything, but I did take issue with Alex's assertion that Pavement "sucked". I'm hardly impartial in that particular debate, being a pretty big fan of that band, but it did seem a little harsh and somewhat undeserved. It's fine to not like them, most people I know don't like Pavement, but I think you'd have a pretty hard time convincing most critics as well as music fans that they sucked.

Don't take it personally, J-rock. It's just that I'm hard pressed to think of a more overrated/undertalented band than Pavement. I didn't say you couldn't listen to them, though. To each their own.
