I recon that this band sux! They are so over rated.

OnTopic, “Well that’s just like your opinion, man” - The dude.
But seriously, I’m not going to go back and forth with a worthless “you suck, they suck” conversation, but you should at least respect The Pixies’ influence on Music for a good decade or so. Kurt Cobain repeatedly stated they were his main influence. When Kurt wrote ’smells like teen spirit’ he admittedly tried to rip off The Pixies. Oh and I’m not sure if Radiohead is a good enough band for your obviously superior taste, but Thom Yorke hails Frank Black as one of the greatest songwriters of the late 80s.
Listen, I know The Pixies sound like noise at first, but when you listen to them, you’ve really got to let yourself go. I’m sure that someone with an ear as developed as yours would come to appreciate them in time.
I’ll concede, however, that the album might be a little too obscure for the casual music fan, and so perhaps not ideal for a party Rock Band scenario. I’m still gonna love playing it though!

kylebrooklyn, maybe you should re-read it. I said they are more fun to play (hence the better band parts) portion of the statement in response to how they play in a game. Musically, both are awful, with Pixies being only slightly less awful.

The Pixies were the sound of the 90’s before the 90’s even arrived. If only I had Rock Band, or atleast if only my friends who do have the game knew or cared who the Pixies were.

Judas Priest better than the Pixies?
I think you fried your brain when you were perming your hair

This is a bad album and if you watch the video preview of the songs, not interesting or particularly fun to play. The Cars and Judas Priest have more interesting songs and better band parts, respectively, but neither of those are things that a bunch of people want to sing and play when they get together. In the end, Rock Band is a game, not an educational tool about lesser known indie acts. They need to have more songs like ‘More Than a Feeling’ or ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ that every person can get behind.

I wanna grow up to be…be a debaserrrrr!

It would be cool if Rock Band added two vocal tracks down the road. Especially with the harmonies of the Pixies.

Debaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!

Can’t wait to sing Debaser

ha-ha-ha-ho!

Props to Rock Band for their album obscurity. When they first mentioned the album idea, it was led by “Nevermind” and “Who’s Next”, leading to believe it was gonna be nothing but the obvious.
But Judas Priest, The Cars and The Pixies were about as far from the obvious as they could get, keep ‘em coming!

Nice. Playing “No.13 Baby” is gonna be sweeeet.
