The Pixies vs Nirvana

the Pixies are definitely superior to Nirvana....

Doolittle is the best thing in the 80s in my mind, and Nirvana really stand on the shoulders of giants, yet Nirvana are a big band from when I was a kid. I'd still go with the Pixies though. In fact, I say the Pixies are way better.

Any of their three studio albums will do (they're all fantastic). Although, I suppose that On Fire is their best (or most critically-acclaimed) album, so maybe you should start with that.

I used to be really into Nirvana when I was a teenagers. Pixies are way ahead of them in terms of quality though.

Its one hell of an argument. When I heard Nirvana for the first time I was 16 and had been into heavy metal for a couple of years or so. Im not talking Bon Jovi either, Im talking about really heavy stuff like Brujeria. I dont believe Id heard a melody for about 2 years and when I heard Nirvana I really didnt get it. They grew on me though and opened a door into that whole other world of music (post-punk/college rock/indie etc.)

Just because of that I would have to go with Nirvana even though I don't listen to them anymore. I actually sold all of my Nirvana stuff earlier this year because I looked at my CD shelf and realised that I hadnt listened to "In Utero" for about three years. If someone had told me when I was 17 that one day I would sell all of my Nirvana stuff I would have asked them what they were on.
