I'm with you on the whining, but never thought of Radiohead as a noise guitar band.

Not sure if I get the Beatles thing either though.

6. the loud/quiet/loud thing

Of those 6, only one of them has anything to do with Nirvana. And it is a thing that tons of other bands do.

it's the one of the six that they made revelatory, if i can get away with saying that. and i'm funk as druck so i hope i can. loud/quiet/loud existed before nirvana but it wasn't a thing, kurt made it a thing, and a million bands followed

I think the Nirvana/Pixies thing partly comes from Smells Like Teen Spirit kinda sounding like U-Mass, which I've heard a lot before from lots of people but would have to be coincidental. I think Kurt also admitted that songs like Debaser were a huge influence on Nevermind and, though I might be making this up, that he wanted Albini to produce (sorry, engineer) In Utero because of his work on Surfer Rosa. You're right that the two bands are mostly different but where they are similar, it's pretty striking. And again, I think Kurt encouraged the comparison.

I think Inev is saying that loud/quiet/loud is the only thing that Nirvana had in common with the Pixies. There's probably little doubt that Nirvana is the band that made it a thing, but why would that mean that they sound just like the Pixies.

ah, I don't see any similarity most of the time.

Except: Smells Like Teen Spirit is pretty similar to Debaser. Definitely.

The song by another band that reminds me the most of Pixies is this.

Yeah, I kinda hear it. When I first clicked the link and heard the song in my head, I thought you were fuck*ng crazy. But listening to it a lot of the guitar is similar. And of course the Spanish singing and they also mention Andalusia.

I've always thought that Radiohead had a strong affinity towards the Beatles.  They have a couple of songs that I think are directly influenced by the Beatles.  Karma Police is similar both sonically and thematically to Sexy Sadie.

When I was falling asleep I had "Across the Universe" stuck in my head, and I hadn't listened to any music since I turned off that program.

A friend of mine, a young guy, maybe 20 years old posted a pic on Facebook earlier this evening of his latest vinyl purchase of A Night at the Opera.  This has kinda sent me into a Queen listening binge that has yet to end.

Oh my god how could I have forgotten how awesome is The Prophet's Song!
