  • Before Nirvana stormed MTV and the alt-rock boom detonated, the Pixies forecasted the future of rock. Doolittle truly put them on the map as rock's weirdest and most revelatory band. In the process, it kickstarted a movement that would redefine the genre.

    As a fan of the Pixies, one of the most evocative qualities of the arrangements involved Kim Deal's harmonies, bass-lines, & songwriting. Her contributions are invaluable.

    Pixies had huge influence in indie scene just like velvet underground both bands were underrated at their era

      What, the album was supposed to be played at 45? That's bull. All albums on vinyl play at 33. The only exception I know is Lush's _Spooky_ , which originally came on two 10 inch 45 rpm discs.

  • @paulc3037
    @paulc3037 Před 6 lety +1

    It's Pixies without the definite article. Come On Pilgrim was their first release. REM were hardly "overly earnest", at least in those days. And the last two albums came out twenty years later and can't be considered to have been part of their influence and legacy. Pitchfork should know better.
