INFO: To me it seems like the Pixies were one of those bands that came at just the right point in time. They began their journey in the second half of the 80s and although they didn’t experience a booming success, they did have a big influence on bands like Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Pavement and many others. In some instances their success have been compared to The Velvet Underground. They were ahead of the trend. Or maybe they created the trend itself? The one were artists blended metal, punk and noise with classic rock in a mix of extreme dynamics and stop-start timing.

What artist/band should be next? 🤘🎸
In my opinion, Kim Deal was essential to the Pixies. She is wildly herself and extremely feminine to me, and her voice escalates their music.
The ad actually said "Band seeks bassist into Hüsker Dü and Peter, Paul and Mary. Please - no chops." Nothing about them wanting a female bassist. Also Kim was the only person to answer the ad. Just thought i'd point that out.
Doolittle is an amazing album. Perfect marriage of pop sensibilities, noise rock, tongue in cheek humor and also really dark lyricism.
I am a diehard Metalhead. Bands like Pantera, Sepultura, Alice in Chains, etc. are my favorites amongst all the Metal genres. I even love Hair Metal. I saw the Pixies Alec Eiffel video on MTV one night and was blown away. It was 1992 and the Seattle invasion was in high gear. I went to the record store and bought Trompe Le Monde. It didn't take long before I heard Wave of Mutilation in a movie I believe is titled Pump up the Volume. I never watched the whole movie. My girlfriend was watching it while I was in the garage playing guitar with my bass player at the time. I walked in right as the part with Wave of Mutilation playing. I loved it. My bass player turned me on to the rest of the Pixies albums. Where is my Mind was added to my set list. I love the Pixies. Every song and every album.
"Surfer Rosa" is a near-perfect album.
This is a history of Pixies not "understanding" them

The Breeders is a PHENOMENALLY underrated band
Bossanova really doesn't get enough praise. It's just as good as Surfer Rosa and Doolittle, there are some days where I think it's better.

Initially the Pixies were like the Velvet Underground,
HEY!
Pixies are an amazing band. You could play a 30 year old Pixies song to a kid today and I can bet you they would think it’s new. They influenced so many bands.
I grew up in the late 80's and I cannot stress how crucial The Pixies were (and still are) at that time.

Understanding:
Possibly the most underrated band of all time. So influential!!
They opened for U2 in ATL and were the best band on stage that night. I'll never forget "where is my mind" and "gouge away", genius. Was so lucky to see them before Kim left.
It's always terrible when great bands break up, but losing Deal was a deal-breaker* for most Pixie fans. I believe there are critical elements of certain bands that make or break them. While David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen made Van Halen great, Michael Anthony made them
