If anyone can think of a band that starts with the letter A who sound like the PIxies or have partially derived their sound from the Pixies sound then feel free to start the game. |

Queens of Stone Age one of most awful band in world. How can compare with Pixies? Their sound about as original as my scrotum sack. |

There was a time when I used to love them. Mid to late 80's. They have been out of my rotation for 20 years. I have a few CD's and a couple cassettes and I wanted to try to get back into them again so instead of finding those I went to my local libray (where I get most of my music nowadays) and took out Beyond and Back: The X Anthology double CD. Listening to it just wasn't the same for me today. It happened again last week when I took out The Ramones' Hey! Ho! Let's Go: The Anthology and I just couldn't getting into the music again. I do remember my favorite album from X was More Fun in the New World. Which I think was also there breakthrough album/chart topper.
I know my heart is gonna be broken again as I wait for the library get me their copy of the Scorpions' Tokyo Tapes Live 1978. I have that in album form but havn't listened to any of my LP's since the mid 80's.

Maybe the Pixies were loosely influenced by the 80's band X from Los Angeles. Their formula was more Punk/Country sounding but they had the Male/Female sharing vocals thing going on. Well, Charles didn't share too much vocals did he. That's the best I've got for X.

Yes I have one for W, but for some reason I stupidly thought we were on X... duh
I guess X is a hard one so we can make that a blank where you can name any band. There is of course The XX, who I don't like, and I don't know if you could compare them to the Pixies.
I think there is a pretty obvious one for Y, actually I have two for Y but imma keep them. |

Erm I think I also mentioned somewhere something about alphabetical order as well...
I think we're on T now.
Fuck it, this should be under C but since they are such a spectacularly brilliant band- THE CHAP

p.s. their new album is brilliant, my outright favourite of the year so far. Also apparently Art Brut's favourite new band according to twitter. |

I think I did state earlier that in order to make the game work a bit better you could post also bands/artists who were an influence on the Pixies sound.

This song starts off similar, but a little sped up, to WIMM.
One of my favorites of there's.

Sooner or later a band beginning with the letter 'o' who sound like the Pixies will come out.. |

Stalled at O.
I thought for sure Nirvana would have been the unanimous choice for 'N'.
