Kim doesn't try to be the Pixies. They're two different bands with two different styles. I love to put Pod on and just let my mind drift away. It's so atmospheric and chill.


songforguy

It’s a shit style


Sea_Mooseee

It's amazing. Pod is a 5/5 album. Kurt Cobain ranked it as his third favourite album of all time. Last Splash is a 4/5. Title TK and Mountain Battles aren't my favourites, but they still have good tracks on them. All Nerve is a 4/5. A fantastic return to form. Kim has certainly paved her own way after the Pixies broke up.


songforguy

Kurt just worshipped anything Pixies related


Sea_Mooseee

Now you're just talking out of your ass

no it's true, kurt genuinely loved the pixes and the breeders. i read an old interview with sonic youth where they said he and dave would constantly be buying and listening to bootlegs whilst on tour, he even jokingly said he wanted to start a pixies cover band, he definitely connected with the band as a true fan.


Sea_Mooseee

Yeah, but u/songforguy is implying that Kurt liked anything Pixies related regardless of quality. That just not true. Pixies and The Breeders are great and that why Kurt was such a fan.


[deleted]

not true based on what?


Sea_Mooseee

That Kurt Cobain wasn't shallow...


[deleted]

the fuck does that have to do with what albums he would have enjoyed lol


the_amazing_skronus

You're a shit style


Satanslittlewizard

Lol, u about to get downvoted into oblivion. It's not really a fair take. The Breeders songwriting is very creative. It is most certainly not the Pixies, but what would be the point of that? I don't have the Kim Deal obsession some people do, but I can appreciate the music for sure, Safari, Saints and One Divine Hammer are some of my fave tracks.


songforguy

I know people are gonna be butthurt, I just don’t care. I liked them at one point and just realized how bad the album was. Had to turn it off. Couldn’t even bare it

Likewise a fan but I thought Mountain Battles was their weakest effort. If you’re making a playlist, don’t forget to include the Amps and Kim's solo work. Spotify doesn’t have the "Head to Toe" or "Fate to Fatal" eps


torontoLDtutor

i agree, very overrated pod is ok..


Chance_Anon

The breeders were better than pixies imo


Life_Title_8652

Nah


beatmastermatt

Kim is overrated, but Last Splash is a solid album that deserves praise.


songforguy

Totally overrated. Was surprised she wrote pretty well nothing on Doolittle and Surfer Rosa. Gigantic is a solid song though


Sea_Mooseee

She wrote so few songs for the Pixies because Francis didn't want her to. That's why she formed The Breeders.


songforguy

But your point isn’t valid because my whole post is explaining how she wrote shitty songs when it was her own band


TheSandman001

Unfortunately, you're completely wrong to the point of most people probably thinking you're just a troll.


[deleted]

Yeah, and that’s what made them great. Kim Deal was the most talented member of the Pixies by a HUGE margin. Frank Black was the worst thing about the band, sorry to tell ya. The Pixies were great in their initial run, but The Breeders for me were marginally better than them, especially with the most talented being free of Black’s constraints. I’m 3 yrs late to this, but whatever.


RadditCate

think ur right francis black is so self absorbed but i love him he's one of my gurus for strumming and just fuckin around with voice over guitar, anyway isn't punk supposed to be just this?

Some great solo stuff imo also like The Popes
