Pixies
Comment:
Although the Pixies were never as influential in the States as they were in Britain and Europe, their triumphant 2004 reunion proved an important coming-of-age for their Gen X fan base, who fervently believed that [i]this[/i] band was worthy of hardcore devotion. Songs like the jokey "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and the kaleidoscopic "Here Comes Your Man" define an audience forging its own musical identity, and remain unmistakable badges proudly worn by those who prefer to stand outside the mainstream. Combine the prickly Frank Black and come-hither Kim Deal, anchored by the four-to-the-floor rhythm combo of bassist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering, and you have post-punk heirs to a rock ’n’ roll tradition of challenging — and heightening — their fans' preconceptions.
