R.E.M. had a huge influence around then. Also, I don't think a lot of people think of My Bloody Valentine when thinking about this, but didn't they pretty much create and popularize the ethereal layers of sound and buried vocals? Still, I guess they might not be on par with the Pixies. I mean you could ask pretty much every great rock or alternative band from the early to mid 90's who influenced them and I think Pixies would be the common name.
