It's true, though: name someone who actively dislikes the Pixies.

i don't really 'get' the Pixies. they've got a few decent tunes but so have the Angelic Upstarts.

 

[chico enrico]

actually if i did have to nominate one band i'd have to be really boring and predictable and say Joy Division.

Yeah, but do you actually dislike them?

I think it ought to be more than just made lots of good music. The best bands do more than that, they change you, or at least change your musical tastes.

The Pixies
Siouxsie & The Banshees
Cocteau Twins
Joy Division
The Specials

[ericjarvis]

Bogshed.

Add me as another vote for Bogshed.

Also throw in for consideration Wire.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

If it's only bands which really changed you, then it comes down to Sonic Youth or God Machine for me, possibly the Pixies.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Yeah, but do you actually dislike them?

I do, actually. To be fair if I hadn't heard them so much and been told how they're great and I absolutely must like them I'd probably stick with indifferent.
