Well, it's nice to see some more members adding something to this thread. Is it just happenstance or is it because Pixies are a band that generate more response? Looks like the latter to me: popular bands get overplayed or over-rated and then comes a resentful backlash....

Well it basically come down to all I hear about is how everybody imitates the Pixies: Nirvana ... or whoever ... maybe every other 90s alt-Rock band ... etc etc. Well look at who's imitating who. Black Francis has literally stolen D Boon's look.

^ Yep, plenty of superficial similarity there, Neapolitan.

^ LOL at your scenario, OH ! Perhaps we can't agree on the merits of Monkey Gone To Heaven, or of Lou Reed as a model for vocalists, so I thought I'd move on to Song #4, which we can both enthuse about
:-
Song #4: Pavement - Summer Babe (1992)
^ It's obviously the guitar which makes this track, and I love everything about it: the tone, the attack and the way it's centre-stage throughout. This is a band I might play more of, hoping that Summer Babe is typical of their style. Good rec, Mo and OH
