I heard that The Pillows started out as a Pixies cover band.

They even have a song called "Kim Deal".

Doolittle is a great album front to back. AIC, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam never made an album half as good @One_Day_Remains

I've never listened to The Pixies, but idk why you're comparing them to Nirvana.

didn't The Pixies form before Nirvana did, and aren't they also a different genre (sub-genre?)?

Nirvana's biggest hit was literally inspired by The Pixies. Most of the 90s alternative and grunge music takes a lot from The Pixies.

How did this turn into comparing bands like Soundgarden and Alice and Chains to Pixies?
They're not even similar. Grunge isn't cohesive.

I think the Pixies are better but I'm not a Nirvana fan and actually think they suck.

Lyrically Nirvana has better songs but musically the Pixies have better songs. Lyrics aren't their strong suit and many of their songs are written quite clumsily.

I mean, Kurt Cobain literally made up the lyrics to songs on stage off the top of his head--if you listen to alternate versions of songs, they will sometimes have totally different lyrics.

That is interesting. None of Nirvana's song lyrics read like bad translations as some Pixies songs do.

I agree, I think it says something about both his artistic ability and the concept that editing can take away from the aesthetics of free form

Theyre both among the greatest and most important rock bands ever... saying one is better than the other is only slight to me because theyre both absolutely incredible.

Ill say I have slightly more of an attachment to Bleach than Doolittle, but I love both bands dearly

Nirvana has the benefit of disbanding before they fell from their creative peak. Pixies Trompe le Monde isnt quite as good as their earlier classics, and their newer comeback albums arent super great either (although I love half the songs on Indie Cindy). Still, I would say that Pixies two best albums and Nirvanas two best albums are all about similar quality. (Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Nevermind, In Utero).
