    This isnt a very neutral or [encyclopedic] summation of [the Pixies] or their influence, but its hard to write objectively about this band, perhaps one of the greatest alt. rock outfits ever to grace a stage, before the genre became just another mass-market joke.

    Their music captivated not only what remains a fiercely loyal fan base, but a generation of musicians who sought to keep the flame alive when infighting drove the band to split in 1992. Perhaps the bar had been raised too high, because none of their successors, even those who achieved far more mainstream recognition, could quite match the quirky, catchy, enigmatic presence which still exists in those 15 year-old recordings.

    Thankfully, the Pixies are alive and well today after reuniting in 2004, though [Frank Black] was recently quoted as having disavowed any plans to ever record again with the group.

      One of Nirvanas quoted influences, having a similar [self destructive], [downbeat] feel that personifed the Grunge movement in the early 90s. [The Pixies] were a little more colorful and violent sounding than Nirvana and had a good female vocalist on some tracks.
      The Pixies are Surfer Rock, but their style is from Psychedelic to Punk to New Wave
