They are compared, as they are the two biggest and most influential bands to have ever come out of England. They`ve nothing in common musically and if both bands weren`t so famous there would never be any comparison between the two.

The Pixies and Nirvana on the other hand, are very musically bound together, as without the Pixies, Nirvana as we know them may never have existed.
