i really appreciate your post
(thank you for your intervention - thanks to you i'm surfing YouTube on a
wave of mutilation, right now
- and , please, excuse my poor english)
Yes , you're right
If i look at my list, i must say that only Pixies, Bowie and Nick stay in the same league
(maybe Heads, too)
Pixies was one of the greatest rock bands ever, scorching joyfull, trashing noise while keeping their sense of humour.
A real fresh mix of dissonance, hard rock , noise and that angelic voice ... oh boy, what a duet ! They were humble and modest, they were no rock-superstars but normal human beings. They were a role-model and an influence for bands like Nirvana and Placebo.
I'm really amazed how big they were and how popular in the late 80's. And i love Kim
( and that fat bastard, too
)
if somebody here don't know Pixies, please watch some videos :
