Taking the Pixies track by track, they can seem kinda average at times as their songs work on a simple, workable sound but then you put them all together into one album and realise that they can do many genres easily, effectively and still do themselves justice.

Here comes Your Man is the best track the 60's didn't write. Cecilian Ann is the best Surf Rock song you may not have heard. Tame is vitriol personified. Dinosaur Jr's dense but pop like structures could be argued as more influential within their own genre and Living All Over Me is a ridiculously great album and perfect for when you want melodious noise upon your ears.

Pixies influenced a wider range of bands for sure but Dinosaur Jr are sometimes a much more rewarding and cohesive listen. After all that I am undecided!
