@dukkha88 not every one. :D

The ridiculous decision to have Stereophonics headlining still rankles. Thumbs up if you left after the Pixies played!

fucking Love PIXIES!!!!
-
@turnbacktime Of course NIrvana were influential. I loved them too. Many up an coming artists cite them as an influence. They have a large audience to this day and always will have one.
But I said MOST influential. Virtually everyone worth listening to cites Pixies as a key formative influence. While musical taste is absolutely subjective, for me anyway, its clear whcih of the two bands were the bigger pioneers with a more unique and varied sound. There is simply noone remotely like Pixies.

@rocketz i'm aware of that, i also like the pixies and the deal sisters.

@turnbacktime Kurt Cobain on smells like teen spirit : I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band— or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard

@rlefaive How about Nirvana, you dont think they're influential?
-
Wow I can't get Kim Deal out of my head, she has touched my soul.

Where is my mind?????????
A typical grey rainy day in Manchester transformed into pure utopia when these played their set,i was there and the atmosphere was mindblowing.The best band on the planet in my humble opinion.

Influential is determined by the test of time. Not by any individual. By these standards:
- an ever growing fan base 16+ years after writing their last new song.
- an ever growing list of bands striving to either imitate them or, like them, create a completely new sound (and failing).
Enough time has past that it has already spoken
Pixies are undeniably the most influential band of the last 20 years -> and as some have postulated -> were perhaps Rock's last truly great gasp.
