without the pixies, smells like teen spirit, one of the most important songs in rock history, would NOT have been created, Kurt was so influenced by the pixies most of the songs he wrote on "nevermind" he used the same method of song writing the pixies used; songs like lithium, polly, come as you are, and teen spirit wouldn't be around today, so thank the pixies
hahaha I was actually about to write that I'm a big nirvana fan and I'm glad to hear that the pixies made similar music... as if i had some amazing original thought. but after reading about 3 comments i think i'll just shut up.
ok quote time i'm tired of the bickering:- "When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band. I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard.” --- Kurt Cobain on writing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Now stfu the lot of you, watch Un Chien Andalous
"Un chien Andalou" (An Andalucian Dog) is a film by Luis Bunuel (early Surrealist) & Salvador Dali (my favourite artist) & starts with an eyeball being sliced. If anyone's been to Andalucia they may well have been followed round by packs of small mongrel dogs...
bigyellowjobbie how dare you talk shit about Frank Black! You dont even realize what you are saying, you are a fag if u think he sings like a girl cuz he doesn't
Fuck I miss the early 90's...............The Pixies ~ one if THE best bands ever !
If you are ignorant about them as a band then take some time and do some research, YES they influenced Kurt Cobain and Nirvana on a profound level but focus on the Pixies too and also the great Kim Deal with The Breeders ! awesome :O) XXX
How come everytime i see a pixies video people are always arguing about Nirvana is just like Pixies or Kurt sucks there both good why not like them both its not a crime you know, i like pixies just as much nirvana two great bands
@SquareHeadSlacker wow ur fucken ignorant, Kurt basically worshiped the Pixies. They were his favorite band, he specifically hired their producer off of their Surfer Rosa album just to sound more like them, and when asked how he wrote Smells like Teen Spirit he said "Basically I was just trying to rip off the Pixies"
I took an avant-garde film class at UMASS where they said Frank Black saw Bunuel's Un chien andalou and was inspired to write this song. The professor talked about the film and later played the song in class. Yet another fine piece of music history for the Pioneer Valley.
wanna grow up to be a pixie!!! :) the pixies are one of the greatest alternative bands ever!!!! they have a great influence in my life....... by the way 'Un Chien Andalou' is my favorite movie

1. Fags? Kurt's lyrics and thoughts clearly stated that racism is a crime.
2. Pixies were Kurt's favorite band at teenage years. He's friends called him pixieskurt.
3. If you knew anything about music you would hear that Nevermind album have the pixies sound. But you dont
