To all the people saying I don't like Rock if I don't like the Pixies... I can like Rock without liking ugly atonal bullshit.

The Pixies' main appeal, to me, is their psychotic energy and abstract, haunting lyrics.

They're definitely not for everyone, I'll admit that much.

Well, I guess you just don't like them, which is fine by me. So many bands out there whose appeal I never got.

the Pixies are a band I would be glad to like but aside from Where Is My Mand, Wave of Mutilation and Gigantic I find it impossible to listen to them. Hope that changes in the future.

One step to understanding the Pixies' appeal might be to acknowledge that "ugly", in this context, isn't an insult. The Pixies can make some extremely ugly music. That's rather the point.
