I'm not trying to be controversial at all. I've never seen the appeal of either The Cure or The Pixies. I'm not saying they're 'bad' because I'm not even sure what a 'bad' band really is. And I certainly wouldn't say that I despised either band. It's just that neither have interested me and I do at times find their elevated status a little bewildering because of this. Saying that, if I was going to try and muster some kind of defence for The Cure, I'd be more likely to point to the Pornography album than Faith. Equally, when it comes to The Pixies, I think Surfer Rosa is a far better indication of their underlying quality than Doolittle, which I don't like at all. But that's just a taste issue really, as all of this ultimately is.
Someone like Sarramkrop can say he doesn't like The Beatles, but respects them. I take exactly the same stance on The Pixies and The Cure, both of whom I respect for their musical impact, but would run a good few miles if asked to listen to either.
