The Pixies have been one of my favourite bands since 1989. In the early days with Kim Deal perfectly offsetting Frank Black they pretty much defined the 90's. But they did that in the 80's!:

Their anger and energy live was awesome

But then Frank Black with his massive ego sacked Kim Deal
Decades later they achieved that brilliance once again with the hypnotic Paz Lenchantin replacing Kim Deal on bass
"Amazing live performance! They have Joy Division level intensity"

But then Frank Black sacked Paz too, and theses days Pixies are no longer great. They were awesome once though!
