Pixies are Nirvana, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Weezer’s biggest influence. A lot of bands were influenced by them. Pixies were the pre cursor of what was to come in 90s and early 2000’s alternative rock and grunge. Pixies were way ahead of their time. Kurt Cobain even said that they were trying to copy them

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Lex said that it was really different. 😆 That was the point! '80s alternative music. Ahead of its time for sure. Influenced a lot of bands in future, too ('90s and '00s).

[@TonsMoreCowbell]

I’d even throw in early modest mouse as highly influenced by the pixies too.

[@vandriestd]

@@TonsMoreCowbell yeah they DEFINITELY belong in this list

[@Ninja-Dev]

Bowie too

[@noahgonzalez3]

@@TonsMoreCowbell yes! Modest Mouse, White Stripes, Interpol, Arcade Fire, and the Strokes

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

This song is so underrated. I love the vocal performance in it. A clear influence on Modest Mouse. Brad loves when singers do weird inflections in their vocals.. so he loved this.

[@deborahdengler8449]

Yes, I was thinking the same about MM!

[@scarecr0w62]

I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s really not underrated. It’s one of their most popular songs.

[@LucTonnerre2000]

Maybe the best Pixies song of them all? As usual, Kim's backing vocals add so much to the atmosphere.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

Kim is the best

[@JT-ne8du]

Gigantic for me! Kim shines

[@sergioOrtega92]

Gouge away for me, but hey it's awesome too

[@floryboonda]

@@JT-ne8du Gigantic is an embarrassment as far as the lyrics go, from the point of view of a person whose white friend has a black boyfriend but in true Pixies fashion the musical sum of it's parts is greater and saved the day when it came out; wouldn't fly now though.

[@nickmitchell7664]

cactus, break my body, tame, hey. in that order.

[@BulletsInVerse]

Everyone unanimously agrees that Pixies are directly responsible for creating alternative rock. Everyone wants to be the Pixies, even to this day. Such a great band.

[@1RottenJon]

I feel like I want to give that distinction to Jane's Addiction, but at the same time I don't want to disagree with you

[@stich21]

no

[@jasonjames6383]

Velvet Underground? The Stooges? Television? Sonic Youth? Husker Du? The Replacements? The Clash? Roxy Music? Janes Addiction? Faith No More? I love the Pixies, probably more than any of those bands previously mentioned but they are not directly responsible for alternative rock. An important band and had a big influence on 90s alternative rock but they were not directly responsible for it, many bands played a part in influencing alternative rock in the 90s and beyond.

[@Coxy_Wrecked]

There were many other bands that influenced the alternative music scene. Perhaps the Pixies were one of the more influential bands at the time certainly not 'directly responsible' for creating alternative rock. Did they influence Dinosaur Jr,Sonic Yourh,'Husker Du,Big Black,Mudhoney,The Replacements? Nope,because all those 'influential' bands came before Pixies.

[@jenniferbuford3803]

It’s all post punk- so direct influences to alternative would be the 70s punk bands - major players would be the smiths, the cure, joy division aka new order, all of the early emergent bands that were off shoots of direct punk like X-ray specs, sex pistol, Ramones etc.

[@curtiswilson3569]

Brad has a great ear. Pixies are wonderful in the same way Cake is. Odd, great bass, and funky. Love both bands. Pixies were so ahead of their time, they would fit perfectly in the mid 90s.

[@woodrowgodshyne1654]

The best description of The Pixies. "I discovered a band that changed my life. Then they broke up." I used to work at a Lazer Tag joint (Q-Zar) in the early 90's. One of my regulars slipped me The Pixies 'Dolittle'.. The next day, I bought all their CDs. The Pixies are on another level.

[@metalmark1214]

Definitely a song that doesn't sound like it belongs in the 80's.

[@petrinafilip96]

Because Doolitle set the tone for 90s alternative music. Ahead of its time for sure.

[@jf2632]

Pixies and Jane's Addiction came immediately before grunge, and were probably 2 of the most direct influences for that entire movement.

[@makomarquis]

I love how she just laughs at the end. Recognition of the ride The Pixies just took you on. A classic song. Brilliant.

[@Henninchs]

The Pixies are great. You will find a lot of surprising moments listening specially to the Surfer Rosa and the Dolittle. There are very few albums with such a wide spectrum.

[@willfromyadkinville]

the Pixies slapped hard!

[@Johonnac]

Suppressing? Or surprising?? 😉

[@Henninchs]

@@Johonnac thanks - my fault

[@oreopithecus]

Indeed - the best way to get to know the Pixies is to listen to these two albums in one piece. Listening to just one song is like looking at a pixel of a painting.

[@MrMurph73]

Pixies blew my mind as a teenager in the late 80's. Such an important band.

[@kswwhodat]

PIXIES!!!!!! HUGE influences on so many great bands!

[@saintsataniko2116]

PIXIES remain my favorite band of all time. They wrote absolute masterpieces, but never ever compromised and then finally twenty years after they started they reunited and became the biggest hit of Coachella 2004 and have been touring ever since.

[@jaskoneal4225]

The pixies where very raw and a unique sound for the late 80/

[@kimn9802]

They created the template for soft/loud. One of the most innovative and interesting bands of all time. Doolittle (the album) is as good as any ever produced in the history of popular music. All killer, no filler. They are in a genre of their own.

[@superlove35]

"It wasn't bad". One of the greatest rock songs ever written.

[@joemachine4714]

I've seen this band in concert 3 times and somhow overlooked this gem. It's hilarious 🤣

[@schandmaske]

I hope you guys get into a Pixies rabbit hole & run with it!! Seeing some of Brad's facial expressions reminded me of some of my own feelings towards the Pixies all those many years ago when I first started listening... Hearing the Pixies is DEFINITELY an equivalent to having a religious experience.

[@canadianhienz57]

The best thing about alternative-i.e. not commercial music-is that it expands the listener’s musical arcs. The Pixies musical painted on canvasses of odd shapes and sizes to make unique art. Unique gets noticed and is built upon hence the endless list of artists the Pixies have influenced. Thank you for doing this reaction!

[@multiplemiggs5189]

Pixies are still one of the best to this day...

[@jemxs]

Best PIXIES song ever! the Sound the Mother Makes When the Baby Breaks is the best line in a song ever!

[@christianwood1716]

This is my favorite pixies song, I am so glad you reacted to it

[@sivadtube]

Pixies is probably the most influential alternative bands. When asked about “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Kurt Cobain said “I was just trying to rip off the Pixies”. He wasn’t joking. If you listen to the Pixies song “Debaser” you can hear the guitar riff from Smells Like Teen Spirit all the way through the song.

[@JoeSchumacher]

Lex's insights continue to amaze. Saying how the Pixies can make normal songs but then undo those songs to make "Hey" shows they are super talented also applies to visual artists like Picasso, the Abstract Expressionists, and Warhol. All of them could produce "normal" art at a high level but they then broke down that process to create something new and different.

[@robbie.j7639]

I love the Pixies, their lyrics are amazing to analyze they drop in some really off the wall references. With the Pixies they write some great alt pop songs with dark lyrics but then they can also write some off the wall songs. Monkey Gone to Heaven and Here comes your man are more immedicably accessible, Gigantic is fun while Alec Eiffel is more straight forward alt/rock. It is definitely easy to see why The Pixies were one of David Bowies favorite bands.

[@tawis01]

This is one of the best songs ever written. Nothing else sounds like it before or after. I remember being a teenager listening to this in the 90’s and thinking “Wow! This song is genius.”

[@annacostanzo5307]

Wow! Pixies posted your reaction video on their FB page! How cool! I worshiped Pixies when I was in high school in the late 80’s and the early 90’s! They’re still one of my favorite bands. They’ve been so influential and loved by so many bands and artists from Nirvana, Soundgarden, Radiohead, the Strokes, Weezer and so many more.. even David Bowie was a huge fan.

[@BulletsInVerse]

Wow, I had no idea! I hope it helped them because they've helped me so much. Thank you for letting me know!

[@thefullnomad6543]

Pixies, THERE is a rabbithole for you! Everything is totally different for them. They are all over the place. The music is killlllllllller. They're in the rare air of bands like Pink Floyd -- there's just no one like them and they are so inspirational for so many musicians because they broke so many molds. Genres like lo-gi, grunge, grunge-rock, garage rock, alternative, new wave -- the Pixies are considered seminal to them all. You create a pyramid of bands that influenced the most musicians, and the Pixies are gonna be up at the top, above REM, above Nirvana, above so many others that came in the '90s and thereafter. Just a few to dabble in: LEVITATE ME WAVE OF MUTILATION WHERE IS MY MIND DEBASER MONKEY GONE TO HEAVEN ...and countless others. Probably one of the most influential bands ever. Really.

[@bipolarewok]

This might be the first video I see where the song is weirder than Lex's take on the song. It's all about balance. If the song is a regular song Lex will say it reminds her of the bubbles when you open a can of Coke. If the song is weird she'll say she likes the bass. You can't have chaos on both ends. Speaking of chaos, Brad, if you liked this weirdness then you're ready to go further into the rabbit hole. You guys should react to "Vamos". You're ready.

[@TheDesropolis]

Agreed. But be open minded and kind of brave. Whores are pretty tame when it comes to Charles' themes...

[@beatawallace5725]

Love this band, they have a huge cult following. 86-91 pre-grunge

[@PotSmokeGuy]

I love that brad likes the Pixies. They're an amazing band, and hugely influential. Frank Black is an awesome poet.

[@vinfluenza]

True.

[@EV4RY]

Saw The Pixies in 88 and still to this day is the best gig I ever saw, great reaction btw 👏

[@electricwizard3000]

That is so cool; Brad discovered alternative stuff, and Lex discovered metal. I love watching this show!

[@TheFlowNetwork]

The Pixies come from Boston. I was playing in a band in Boston at the same time as the Pixies...in the mid 80's. Nobody had ever heard of them and then all of a sudden they were the biggest thing ever. Here's how it happened. They got signed to an Indy label in England (4AD) and then their album ended up in the "Imports" bin at the record stores in Boston. It was very "cool" at the time to buy imports. Knowing all the latest underground British bands was important to anyone in the Boston "scene"...so people would always check out the imports section of the record store. Anyway, the Pixies got marketed as an "import" in the stores, rather than a "local" band, and then the local music magazines picked up on them and told us they were the best thing ever. But before that, if you had looked in the local club listings to see who was playing around Boston...you'd never see The Pixies. Like I said, those of us in the live music scene had never heard of them. Nobody had ever done a show with them. Nobody ever saw them live. They came out of nowhere. Then all of a sudden...they were a "Boston Band". It was weird.

[@mattdemo7173]

There are so many amazing Pixies songs out there: Debaser, Alec Eiffel, Here Comes Your Man, Dig For Fire, Planet Of Sound, Motorway To Roswell, and the list goes on...

[@saintdon4461]

saw them live at reading festival in 1990 headlining ..at the bottom of the bill was the little known nirvana

[@Peejay1966]

Pixies, oh man, what a band. Back in 1991, in Glasgow's SECC venue, the gig had to be abandoned during Debaser (just the third song in) due to the enthusiastic crowd breaking the barrier in front of the stage. Great support from Cud and Teenage Fanclub, thankfully.

[@pricey6177]

Can't ait to see them later this year. Such a great underated band. Tried to get my brother to listen to it but didn't think he would like it cause of stuff he had heard about the style etc then we were watching Zac and Miri make a ... and he heard this song in it and said "this song is sick" and i laughed and told him it was Pixies and now loves them.

[@mmcmann9539]

It’s one of those songs that you find yourself listening to on a loop for weeks years after you first hear it.

[@danspringer12]

Listen to the way he says "Chained". "Ch-ai-ne-d"- broken up, like a chain that's partially broken; like their relationship: together but broken.

[@dejatubisha]

I want to recommend you: "Gouge away" and "Monkey gone to heaven", and after that, you'll want to continue exploring this timeless band.

[@Stndcrw]

Also the happening, ana, actually all songs from bossanova album are great

[@adgato75]

Yeah. Black Francis ( the singer and main songwriter ) is a genius. He has made music for 40 years , in different genres and different ways. David Bowie was a big fan of the Pixies and had a lot of praise for them.

[@dejatubisha]

The Pixies are one of my favorite bands at all, during decades.They are simply an icredible band.You just have to listen to them and, soon, you will understand what their incredible value is 😉

[@NotBenCoultry]

Man you've got 5 albums to check out now - every song on each of them has something wonderfully quirky about it. At any given moment back in high school you could have asked me what was in my discman and most often my answer would have been either Pixies, Floyd, Zeppelin or Metallica

[@brendanfromireland]

Pixies have so many great songs, Gouge Away, Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, Monkeys Gone To Heaven, Where Is My Mind...

[@Justin-td4bb]

So glad you've got on the pixies train. Brilliant band.

[@indiegohippo]

Pixies were amazing live. Seeing them with Throwing Muses in 1988 was one of several legendary gigs I went to between 1987-1994. Met them a few years later in Paris backstage after the gig. Gave me a lot of food and dubious substances.

[@JayPhonomancer]

Love to see Pixies reactions! Some of their stuff is louder and they were a huge influence on 90's alt-rock. As others have said Kurt Cobain was a huge fan.

[@tommycanada8912]

YEAH YEAH YEAH!! "Hey" is such a mindblowingly quirky cool ass song - especially that lead guitar part (siren sound)....gouge away is my fav of the pixies but where is my mind, hey, tame, please don't go, monkey gone to heaven are total vibes songs! I got too see the pixies in Louisville, KY (Kim deal) was still with them back in 2012 but I really wished I could have seen them in the late 80s or early 90s tho!! If you got time another grunge classic from the 90s that you all would enjoy I think would be....local H - bound for the floor.

[@HidingFromFate]

Bound for the floor has been suggested at least a few times on their streams but I think it's probably a good 6 to 9 months away from getting enough votes.

[@ORMike]

“Gigantic” “ Gouge Away” “where is my mind” which I’ve been hearing in a few commercials lately are really good ways to get a feel of their sound imo.

[@Siouxie31]

Totally agree, it's just sound effortless perfect, that's what I love with Pixies!

Pixies redeemed the 80's, music bloomed into Grunge and pop-punk from here, the guy with the top comment mentioned, a few (British) bands were influenced to form bands by attending Pixies concert I know that at least two members of Blur went to the first night and secured tickets for the next night. Different guys from Radiohead may have attended both, I can't remember and can't be bothered googling it! Special mention to Husker Du for sparking the Pixies idea in Charles and Joey's minds!

[@stevenfisher402]

Been waiting, on you, to do another Pixies song. Brad gets it!

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Pixies were Gen X alternative rock music 😃. We loved em. They along with groups like Sonic Youth (female and male singers like Pixies), B-52s ( same, female and male singers), Dinosaur JR, RHCP, Jane's Addiction/Pornos for Pyros, , Smithereens, Pavement, REM, Violent Femmes, Joy Division ('late '70s- early '80s), 1000 Maniacs, Mudhoney, The Replacements, The Cure, Ween, etc. All alternative rock in the '80s and '90s. And ahead of their time, influenced many alt rock bands in the '90s and '00s. Back in the days was called college radio, modern rock, alternative. Music like this was only played on college radio back then and videos on MTV segment called 120 Minutes ( alternative music videos for 2 hrs) late at nite, finally broke into mainstream radio from underground, college radio around the late '80s - early '90s . Loud/quiet dynamics from groups like Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur JR, etc were huge influences for alternative rock in the future. Including Weezer, Cake, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse and many others. lol. Early Nirvana years, they toured woth Pixies often. Cobain loved them. 🎸. I could see why Brad likes alt and Indie rock. Lol. Punk rock too. Can picture him playing their music. The Pretenders were alternative rock, new wavish in the 70s and 80s, made mainstream success in the '80s. I was a teen during the early '90s, remember all of this. Pixies are a surf punk, indie/alternative rock band. See their songs "Gouge Away", "Gigantic", "Caribou", "Debaser" , " No13 Baby", and "UMass" too. Kim Deal (bass guitarist and co-singer) left the band and started The Breeders in the '90s. They were good in the '90s and '00s. Yall have reacted to their song "Cannonball"already, need to see more of their songs like "Saints", "Safari", "Divine Hammer", "Son of Three", etc.

[@onlywasooo6006]

The great thing about the Pixies is that some songs of them sounds like you heard before cause all the influence they had in all the grunge/alternative music in the 90s, 00s. Try Caribou, Debaser, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Gouge Away, Gigantic. They had a bunch of classics

[@_bats_]

One of my very favorite Pixies tracks. There's so much going on in the Pixies: you'll find the prototype of the quiet-loud-quiet dynamic that was so prominent in Nirvana and so many other grunge bands (and the bands that followed from there). You'll find weird surfer rock. You'll find lots of artistry and quirkiness. You'll find a classic, timeless sense of melody that is undeniably pop. You'll find a seething, unsettling rage that always bubbles just below the surface or around the corner. I honestly have a hard time thinking of another band with a higher ratio of deepness of content to simplicity of execution than The Pixies.

We need to listen more to INDIE music here.

[@joesmith8725]

This was from one of last years '80s alternative streams. Spring time. We need another one.

I love The Pixies so much and this is my favorite song by them. It's so unique. Kurt Cobain from Nirvana copped to trying to replicate their sound all of the time. I honestly believe they're one of the most influential bands of my lifetime.

[@joesmith8725]

I think this will be on the Pixies Facebook page like the other reaction "Where is My Mind" lol. Going to blow up soon. That's a compliment, yall should comment on Pixies page.

[@CW_9]

Oh and ‘Monkey Gone to Heaven’ is a must, too.

[@samredras]

This band os in my top five all time most influential favorites.

[@j7fk13]

Been waiting on this one. Definitely belongs on a CAKE Playlist. Add to that list: Eels, They Might Be Giants, The Flaming Lips

[@rickd7373]

Pixies - Gouge Away. The song Kurt Cobain claims he ripped off and the reason Nirvana rarely played Smells Like Teen Spirit live.

[@feastorafamine]

This is a seminal band. For real. Next level. All kneel. All bow

Pixies are one of the major indie bands that would go on to influence Grunge in a big way. You should check out Sonic Youth as well.

[@inphanta]

Ooh. I LOVE Sonic Youth but are they ready??

[@joesmith8725]

@@inphanta I think Brad will like Sonic Youth, very unique group. He seems to love alternative/indie rock. and punk rock type music. May take Lex (she does like it too but usually has to grow on her) some time to dig them, though. lol

[@JaneDoe369B]

Public Enemy was recording "Fear of a Black Planet" in the same studio when Sonic Youth was recording "Goo" and they were featured on SY's "Kool Thing". That would be cool. ermmm, Kool.

[@joesmith8725]

@@JaneDoe369B I remember the music video, too. really cool!

@@JaneDoe369B I don't know if it was just before or soon after you posted here about the song and this collaboration, but Couch Gang did react to Kool Thing

!!!!! I never thought you guys would do the Pixies! I figure you would hate it and not even remotely understand why they were so big in the alternative music scene. Normally you are my hero, Lex. But today Brad is my main man! I thought for sure you would hate his high whiny voice, laugh. The first time I ever heard a Pixies song was in the mid 80s. I was out at the lake getting a nice little buzz on with a friend listening to a cassette in his car that he had made of The Replacements. But there was a little room at the end so he put the song Elevator Lady at the end. And I didn't know it was coming and suddenly there's this wall of sound with this high screechy voice but the lyrics were intriguing and hilarious and I loved the feel of it. Immediately went out and bought their first two albums which one of them was an EP anyway called Come On Pilgrim. I immediately fell in love with them. In addition to the influences listed below, they also state that the Beatles were a heavy influence along with Nirvana and the others and I can hear that. And don't forget that the bass player Kim Deal really has a beautiful voice and she sings some of them and does beautiful descant harmonies on others. And not only that, Black Francis can also sing quite beautifully in his lower range. In fact once the Pixies broke up, Black Francis reverted back to his real name Frank Black and had a very successful solo career and some of that music is incredible. Similarly, Kim Deal went off and started the Breeders and they were a very successful band. I saw Pixies live multiple times back in their heyday, as well as the two of them during their respective later careers Fantastic show. On some of their earlier albums, you get to hear just some verbal ad-libbing and messing around between the two of them and it is absolutely hilarious. They are very very funny. I would also say that this is earlier Pixies and album-by-album, it's the same sound in the same feel and the same humor but their sound did get more polished and more lush and perhaps a bit more melodic so there is a wide range to choose from. But from the early stuff, you have to hear the song Gigantic. It features Kim on lead vocals and it's so fun. Also Caribou. They also do a quiet melancholy one which is absolutely beautiful and it's their cover of another band's song called Wave of Mutilation. The one off the album is faster and heavier but they did a slow atmospheric version for the soundtrack of the movie Pump Up the Volume with Christian Slater. It is so dreamy and haunting. In some sense though, Elevator Lady remains my favorite because it's the first one I ever heard and it literally blew my mind. I had absolutely no idea what I was listening to and we were listening to it at ear bleeding levels. .

Thank you for this!!! I'm a huge Pixies fan, but this is probably my favorite Pixies song. Earlier today the official Pixies FB page promoted this, and already being a fan of Brad and Lex, I geeked out and then had to wait through my whole work day before I could watch your reaction to my favorite Pixies song. The wait was worth it! You did not disappoint! Such a great reaction! Ya'll are the best.
