They were both around at the same time, both heavily influential on modern alternative and both kind of nerdy

Dinosaur JR. for the musicianship

Muzak · 07-29-2009, 02:58 PM

Pixies for sure.

Pixies for their simple sound, great voice, and just better music.

Pixies beat most bands by miles to be fair.

Love both bands but I pick Pixies.

VERY tough choice. But i went for Pixies, i love their songs and albums just that little bit more.

I find that I prefer the depth of Dinosaur Jr's writing to the simplicity of The Pixies. The songs are busy sounding yet very mellow which makes it kind of trippy sometimes.

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!
