They gave birth to the grunge scene first off, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, they all recognize the influence the Pixies had on their music, especially Kurt.
But damn, the music, wow.
Bossanova is one of the best albums i can think of right now, particually in terms of Alternative, I mean It's right up there with Aenima and unknown pleasures for me.
Come on Pilgrim is an awesome album also. As is all their albums tbh.
