I know that Cobain listened and liked the Pixies, but I defy you to show me anything in a Nirvana song that sounds anything like a Pixies song. I don't hear one damn thing. To me, Nirvana sounds like earl Replacements.

And the song Alec Eifel is so similar to Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box in that both songs have more than one word and use the letter "e" more than once. It is incredible, you more you explore.

I've found definite proof of some Pixies in Nirvana-just look at the name, Nirv-'ANA', y'know, from Bossanova! |

Oh wait... is this thread about Nirvana, or NIRVANA? I think if I ever reached Nirvana (you know, the state of spiritual enlightenment) I would hear plenty of Pixies music.

I once went to a Cars on acid site and thought it was a Pixies site and then later, a Nirvana site. Congratulate me on my 67th post.

Check out the Pixies cover of "Wild Honey Pie" by the Beatles and you could probably see the resemblance in Cobain/Thompson's voice. At least I think of Cobain when I hear it, or at least the Thompson influence in his screaming. |

..kurt cobain said himself that smells like teen spirit was a pixies rip off..most of us seem to agree that it sounds like u-mass/debaser (including me) and some of us agree that it sounds like "more than a feeling" (which i agree with aswell) but if you read the interview with kurt about the practice where they wrote the song then they even admit too having ripped off the pixies....
i do thik some nirvana songs sound a lot like the pixies but nirvavan have a lot of depressive stuff too...(a lot of depressive stuff)
i think only the more comercialised of songs (the stuff on the best of) sound pixie-ish...if you listen to songs like "hard long now" (is that what its called; i keep on forgetting) then its a completely different nirvana
but thats only my opinion |

Eh
ok i know it's played with diffront chords, what i meant to say was, the quiet/muted then loud/open part of aneurysm (come on over and do the twist)resembles cactus, a little.

I kinda think the PIXIES sound like the effect acid would have on cars...corrosive, cancerous, and mesmerizing.

Some of the songs on Nevermind and In Utero have a bit of a Pixies flavour, not really Bleach though; apart from the odd dynamic chord stucture, it's very 70's sludge-grunge-I remember KC talking about how he went in that direction because they were signed to Sub Pop, or something! |

Smells Like Teen Spirit, in terms of song structure, parallels "gigantic". Quiet verse, builds up in the pre-chorus, and a great big loud chorus.
Melody is similar as well. "Hey paul, hey paul, hey paul" is kind of like "hello, hello, hello".
It really does not matter to me, though. Nevermind is a great album. As are all the Pixies albums. |
