Hahahaha people are funny. I'm just glad there aren't many music snobs at my school (aside from those few metal heads everyone seems to have).

I'm not saying you have to like Nirvana, but realize that nobody is overrating them these days aside from a few fanatical teenagers who'll move on to something else soon anyway.

i'm not sure that's entirely true. i mean I am skimming through a recent issue of rolling stone claiming that Smells Like Teen Spirit is the 9th greatest song ever written. I would disagree with that. I understand that really the issue is refferring to the implications that these songs had on both ther generations in whih they were made and on the future of music from the point in which they had their impact but still. 9th GREATEST song ever? a bit overrated.

hardly even listened to by the mainstream of kids anymore but still held up as god like by the critics. that's my only realy point.

and pixies over nirvana all the way baby :]

Funny how my opinions have changed over time. When I saw the thread title, I was like "Of course the Pixies! What kind of comparison is this?" and then I saw how I voted.

All I'll say is that the Pixies crafted my favorite song of all time, Debaser.

Pixies. I used to like both bands equally, I think I was just listening to Pixies and not really hearing. Then one day it completely clicked and they're now my favourite band.

Nirvana come nowhere close to being as good as Pixies for me.

Which band had a better third album (not counting Pilgrim)?

"I prefer the Pixies"

It was a bit of a tough choice because both have one album I really love (Doolittle and In Utero) then some other stuff I'm more or less apathetic too. In the end, though, I decided Doolittle is a bit better than In Utero and I don't dislike any Pixies albums nearly as much as Nevermind.

Went to see the Pixies a couple weeks back. They were great and very quick through their set, not in a rush but very pressing.

Love Debaser and Hey.

I'd pick the Pixies because their material keeps me entertained for a lot longer.
