the pixes and nirvana shouldnt really be compared considering they are of a pretty differnt style to one another.

the pixes have a very distinctive sound, as do nirvana... Just my oppinion, but they both ****ing rock!!!!!!!!

I find passion in music cleansing and both bands have a lot. When you're however Nirvana's music cleanses your soul; you can feel the rage in the music. "Smells like teen spirit" Is like a 3-minute bout of anger. It's cathartic.

If we really want to get pissy with this genre debate, there is a strong case for classifying Pixies as post-punk, especially their first three albums. And totally agree with Nirvana being more punk than Green Day, in many ways they actually epitomised the punk ethos.

Nirvana has had such a big impact in my life. Literally the first band i got into, they introduced me to music basically.

That's a very high percentage. Have you listened to the Pixies?

Neither Nirvana nor the Pixies are punk rock... Shouldn't this be in the Indie/Alternative thread...?
