I'll concede that they may be compared. But I think that, as a general principle, it is better comparing bands that truly do sound alike. It makes for a fairer comparison as in that case it is clear what exactly is being compared.

My problem, I guess, is that I'm not sure exactly what is being compared in a discussion of Pixies v Nirvana - aside from pure personal preference.

If that is the case then it's Nirvana hands down for me. Even though I love Doolittle, and rather like Surfer Rosa.
