The Violent Femmes

Both similar yet totally different bands,
i thought i'd match them up cause they are both equally good, i honestly can't say one band is better than the other i can only say i prefer one over the other.

And ofc, i choose The Pixies but not by much, if the Pixies never existed the femmes would be my favorite band.

i personally chose the pixies cause to me they are more diverse than the femmes, in the sense that they explored different music like surf or psychedelic music, i know the femmes experiment too but i prefer how the pixies do it.

Regarding vocals i dare say Gordon Gano is a better singer than Charles, i luv his redneck voice, it ranges from very satirical to very soulful.

Pixies by quite some distance.

Not a fan of the femmes?

I love them.

lol ok, it's just the pixies are better then. :p:

I really can't stand Violent Femmes at all (and I feel really bad about it :(), so my vote kinda defaults to Pixies even though I'm not huge on them either.

I've only heard VF's self-titled so far, though, so maybe I'd like their other stuff a bit better?

I love the Femmes but I'll go Pixies as well. Better songwriting, more diversity, and I still get goosebumps at certain songs to this day. Silly, but it counts for a lot with me.

Well if you don't like that album i don't think i can convince you to like them.

Here are a few tracks from other albums

I vote for the Pixies.
It's tough because I prefer the first two Femmes album to any Pixies work, but I also enjoy every Pixies album, which I can't say the same for VF.

Consistency gets it

ouch, wasn't expecting that.
