    Pixies are Nirvana, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Weezer’s biggest influence. A lot of bands were influenced by them. Pixies were the pre cursor of what was to come in 90s and early 2000’s alternative rock and grunge. Pixies were way ahead of their time. Kurt Cobain even said that they were trying to copy them

      Velvet Underground? The Stooges? Television? Sonic Youth? Husker Du? The Replacements? The Clash? Roxy Music? Janes Addiction? Faith No More? I love the Pixies, probably more than any of those bands previously mentioned but they are not directly responsible for alternative rock. An important band and had a big influence on 90s alternative rock but they were not directly responsible for it, many bands played a part in influencing alternative rock in the 90s and beyond.

    • @Coxy_Wrecked

      There were many other bands that influenced the alternative music scene.
      Perhaps the Pixies were one of the more influential bands at the time certainly not 'directly responsible' for creating alternative rock.
      Did they influence Dinosaur Jr,Sonic Yourh,'Husker Du,Big Black,Mudhoney,The Replacements?
      Nope,because all those 'influential' bands came before Pixies.

    • @jenniferbuford3803
      @jenniferbuford3803 Před 2 lety +5

      It’s all post punk- so direct influences to alternative would be the 70s punk bands - major players would be the smiths, the cure, joy division aka new order, all of the early emergent bands that were off shoots of direct punk like X-ray specs, sex pistol, Ramones etc.

    I used to work at a Lazer Tag joint (Q-Zar) in the early 90's. One of my regulars slipped me The Pixies 'Dolittle'..

    This might be the first video I see where the song is weirder than Lex's take on the song.
    It's all about balance. If the song is a regular song Lex will say it reminds her of the bubbles when you open a can of Coke. If the song is weird she'll say she likes the bass. You can't have chaos on both ends.
    Speaking of chaos, Brad, if you liked this weirdness then you're ready to go further into the rabbit hole. You guys should react to "Vamos". You're ready.

    I love the Pixies, their lyrics are amazing to analyze they drop in some really off the wall references. With the Pixies they write some great alt pop songs with dark lyrics but then they can also write some off the wall songs. Monkey Gone to Heaven and Here comes your man are more immedicably accessible, Gigantic is fun while Alec Eiffel is more straight forward alt/rock.
    It is definitely easy to see why The Pixies were one of David Bowies favorite bands.

    Pixies, THERE is a rabbithole for you! Everything is totally different for them. They are all over the place. The music is killlllllllller. They're in the rare air of bands like Pink Floyd -- there's just no one like them and they are so inspirational for so many musicians because they broke so many molds. Genres like lo-gi, grunge, grunge-rock, garage rock, alternative, new wave -- the Pixies are considered seminal to them all. You create a pyramid of bands that influenced the most musicians, and the Pixies are gonna be up at the top, above REM, above Nirvana, above so many others that came in the '90s and thereafter.
    Just a few to dabble in:
    LEVITATE ME
    WAVE OF MUTILATION
    WHERE IS MY MIND
    DEBASER
    MONKEY GONE TO HEAVEN
    ...and countless others. Probably one of the most influential bands ever. Really.

    Lex's insights continue to amaze. Saying how the Pixies can make normal songs but then undo those songs to make "Hey" shows they are super talented also applies to visual artists like Picasso, the Abstract Expressionists, and Warhol. All of them could produce "normal" art at a high level but they then broke down that process to create something new and different.

    Pixies is probably the most influential alternative bands. When asked about “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Kurt Cobain said “I was just trying to rip off the Pixies”. He wasn’t joking. If you listen to the Pixies song “Debaser” you can hear the guitar riff from Smells Like Teen Spirit all the way through the song.

    Pixies, oh man, what a band. Back in 1991, in Glasgow's SECC venue, the gig had to be abandoned during Debaser (just the third song in) due to the enthusiastic crowd breaking the barrier in front of the stage. Great support from Cud and Teenage Fanclub, thankfully.

    The Pixies come from Boston. I was playing in a band in Boston at the same time as the Pixies...in the mid 80's. Nobody had ever heard of them and then all of a sudden they were the biggest thing ever. Here's how it happened. They got signed to an Indy label in England (4AD) and then their album ended up in the "Imports" bin at the record stores in Boston. It was very "cool" at the time to buy imports. Knowing all the latest underground British bands was important to anyone in the Boston "scene"...so people would always check out the imports section of the record store. Anyway, the Pixies got marketed as an "import" in the stores, rather than a "local" band, and then the local music magazines picked up on them and told us they were the best thing ever. But before that, if you had looked in the local club listings to see who was playing around Boston...you'd never see The Pixies. Like I said, those of us in the live music scene had never heard of them. Nobody had ever done a show with them. Nobody ever saw them live. They came out of nowhere. Then all of a sudden...they were a "Boston Band". It was weird.

    The great thing about the Pixies is that some songs of them sounds like you heard before cause all the influence they had in all the grunge/alternative music in the 90s, 00s.
    Try Caribou, Debaser, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Gouge Away, Gigantic. They had a bunch of classics

  • @jeffreekoch9298

    Pixies were Gen X alternative rock music 😃. We loved em. They along with groups like Sonic Youth (female and male singers like Pixies), B-52s ( same, female and male singers), Dinosaur JR, RHCP, Jane's Addiction/Pornos for Pyros, , Smithereens, Pavement, REM, Violent Femmes, Joy Division ('late '70s- early '80s), 1000 Maniacs, Mudhoney, The Replacements, The Cure, Ween, etc. All alternative rock in the '80s and '90s. And ahead of their time, influenced many alt rock bands in the '90s and '00s. Back in the days was called college radio, modern rock, alternative. Music like this was only played on college radio back then and videos on MTV segment called 120 Minutes ( alternative music videos for 2 hrs) late at nite, finally broke into mainstream radio from underground, college radio around the late '80s - early '90s . Loud/quiet dynamics from groups like Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur JR, etc were huge influences for alternative rock in the future. Including Weezer, Cake, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse and many others. lol. Early Nirvana years, they toured woth Pixies often. Cobain loved them. 🎸. I could see why Brad likes alt and Indie rock. Lol. Punk rock too. Can picture him playing their music. The Pretenders were alternative rock, new wavish in the 70s and 80s, made mainstream success in the '80s. I was a teen during the early '90s, remember all of this.
    Pixies are a surf punk, indie/alternative rock band. See their songs "Gouge Away", "Gigantic", "Caribou", "Debaser" , " No13 Baby", and "UMass" too. Kim Deal (bass guitarist and co-singer) left the band and started The Breeders in the '90s. They were good in the '90s and '00s. Yall have reacted to their song "Cannonball"already, need to see more of their songs like "Saints", "Safari", "Divine Hammer", "Son of Three", etc.
