If you're under the belief that Pixies was an all influencing band, then fine that is your opinion. Just don't dismiss that there were other bands before them that could have been also influential.

Whoa. Chill dude. I don’t think The Pixies were the only influential band ever. I was just clarifying.
Yeah, The Minutemen were darlings of the early SST days. Everybody loved them. If I had to guess which SST band most greatly influenced The Pixies I’d say Husker Du. The Meat Puppets obviously influenced Nirvana (plus the Minutemen, Pavement, and Lou Barlow).
Anyway, I don’t have any problem with you spreading some love around for The Minutemen. They deserve it. I kind of think they’re underrated right now but that’s just a phase. They have a permanent place in rock’n’roll history and in a few years everyone will be tripping all over themselves to be their biggest fans again.
