Today Pixies are arguably the most influential alternative rock band of all time. Bands like Nirvana, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, and Arcade Fire all were heavily influenced by them. They were too weird for even MTV and modern rock radio, but MTV and modern rock radio completely ate up the bands they influenced. It’s paradoxical, because they are both obscure yet also pervasive.

So what is your favorite Pixies song or album? How does their new stuff compared to their old stuff? Do you think they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Let me know in the comments below. Oh, and my answers to those questions are...My favorite Pixies song is Hey, favorite album is Doolittle, their newer stuff is almost as good as their older stuff, and of course they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks for watching!

Even today, Pixies are in a category all their own, and they seem more comfortable than they’ve ever been. Hopefully they’ll get weirder and weirder the older they get.
