Pixies (hardcore, albums, fan, red hot chilli peppers, concert)

they never made it to popular radio much... in that way they could be underated. They owned US college radio though so in that way they weren't underated. Depends on your point of view I guess....

im not talking about radio so much. REM owned college radio, their still one of the biggest bands around today. im generally talking about the way people percieve the pixies. for example, with exception of doolittle, not one pixies album is seen as truely great. when in reality i think they have 3 truely great albums at least. another example, everybody accredits nirvana to developing grunge. without the pixies there would be no grunge in the first place.

Yes, that is annoying about the whole Grunge thing I have to agree. I think that as Nirvana are the most popular of the two then those who don't know what they're talking about will just say that Nirvana pioneered Grunge music because they know no different. Oh well, as long as we know what really happened it doesn't matter.
