All influences, no doubt...but hardly anything like the Pixies. Though I can't speak for Husker Du...I've yet to give them a good listen.
I think the point people were trying to make on the Pixies is that if they had started out in the 90's they would have no doubt been considered grunge. They basically kickstarted that genre and receive no credit for it amongst your casual music fans.
I completely agree that Nirvana didn't make it better...in fact, Nirvana are a lame rip off of the Pixies and even admitted as much.
