I'd go with the Pixies because I'm Yankee-Proud and I don't hear them as much on the radio.

I bet I'd like Nirvana a lot more if I didn't hear their slower, heavier stuff on the radio constantly like In Bloom, Dumb, and Lithium.

^Agreed, and because of this the Pixies are way more inviting to listen to, I find a lot more intimacy is conveyed from them in their music.

There isn't even one Pixies song I don't like. I can't say that about any other band, even Radiohead.

Fan of both. The Pixies stomp Nirvana into the ground. When i hear TAME, it makes me think of Kurt Cobain sipping a latte while Francis Black sets fire to Cobains memory.

Doolittle is the best thing in the 80s in my mind, and Nirvana really stand on the shoulders of giants, yet Nirvana are a big band from when I was a kid. I'd still go with the Pixies though. In fact, I say the Pixies are way better.
