The Pixies are hardly indie, and I know shit about the genre.
What makes you say that?
The Pixies are one of the all-time definitive indie bands. High-pitched vocals, dettached soc lyrics, pretty melodies and catchy choruses, a dreamy or child-like quality, all out wierdness and allegience more towards geek subculture than to the mainstream, they're one of the posterchildren of indie. You'll find them in most lists of the top 10 greatest indie rock albums including Blender, Amazon, and "The Blogosphere." Granted, those aren't the most enlightened sources. But I just can't think of a single reason The Pixies wouldn't be considered indie rock.
