How would you describe Pixies?

I wish people would shut up about the Zeppelin/Yardbirds thing. If your not here to talk Pixies, take it to another thread.

Welcome to MB. We're never on topic. So fuck off.

The Pixies are so hyped, they are so many other bands worth talking about, long story short Bob Mould is a million times better, and I was only talking to Signor Chula about the only band that matters to him, or that he knows, hence the Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin analogy.

I've been here long enough to know that, pal. But I don't think it's that hard to take it elsewhere, eh?

I HEARD SOMEBODY TALKIN SHIET

Nah, but seriously tho, what more do you really want, they are basically a punk band with some influence from Surf Rock & Latin-american music plus weird lyrics about incest'n'sh*t. And then aliens.
Don't push yourself to try to like them, though. If you dig it you do, and if you don't, you don't. Maybe abandon it for a while and then come back to it later?

Funny how when I joined here I would've been ecstatic to see such a long discussion about Pixies, but now I'm just kind of lukewarm. Still love 'em but I re-visit their albums pretty rarely these days.

This kind of really helps. Debaser showed what I really want. A long description about the Pixies style of music. Cause I do like the Pixies, but I can't put my finger on what their style is. If I can't analyze a bands style of music, I'm confused on whether I like it or whether I don't.

Alright, maybe that was a little stupid to say, but still I'm more used to music with their own special style. I don't know a lot of bands who don't have their style, and Pixies is just a little confusing at times.

I find it weird how little people actually call the early stuff punk. Why is it that anything not stereotypically punk doesn't often get seen as punk?

I watched an interview with Black Francis saying that Pixies doesn't really have style. They just play and play until something sound's cool. Do you think that this is an accurate depiction? Does Pixies have no style?
