Nirvana and the Pixies are still very different bands with different character to their music. The only time the two of them really sound anyway similar is where 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' has a similar riff to the Pixies 'U-Mass'. I wouldn't say that the whole quiet-loud dynamic would really be enough to compare the two.

If you want to compare Nirvana with a band that influenced them then why not Melvins vs Nirvana, Flipper vs Nirvana or The Beatles vs Nirvana?
