who do you think would be the American Equivalent of the Pillows or conversely, Do you think any band in recent history reminds you of The Pillows? |

The Velvet Underground, but there not very new. Of course there much better than the pillows. |

I've never heard an American band that sounds like them, which is why I like them so much. They have such a unique style to music. |

The closest American Pillows equivalent I can think of is Ted Leo. Who you should all check out. |

I suppose you are all avoiding the old weezer comparisons because that would be comparing them to a now sucky band? but seriously, I've heard some stuff on the radio recently that reminds me of the new single. |

Weezer, perhaps sometimes. But I will never be able to comprehend how the pillows sound like the Pixies. |

I've always thought of them as the Eagles as far as popularity goes... They've had their prime, they're a bit older now, but they still rock and still maek kick ass music. Plus they still have a decent fanbase. Of course music wise, the comparison fails... |

Yeah, too bad the Eagles have the best-selling record of all time, and the pillows don't. |

They both make some really quirky tracks I guess you could say. I think TYMT (song) kind of sounds Weezer-esque |

Actually, Weezer is pretty much suckage, while the pillows are great... |

[quote="sheerheartattack"]But I will never be able to comprehend how the pillows sound like the Pixies.[/quote] some of their songs are very similar... Thank you, my twilight uses the same chord progression in the chorus that the Pixies used for Wave of Mutilation. |

Clearly Tupac and Frank Zappa. I also detect a hint of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and a distinct aftertaste of Iron Maiden. I'm completely missing the Pixies, however. It is unfortunate for the chef, as it is clearly written on the menu. I trust my pallet, the chef has omitted the Pixies for one reason or another. It's not a bad thing, the dish was still very good, it is just dishonest for the chef to present it without informing us of the omitted Pixies beforehand. Yes, I can deduce with 100% of my brain that there is no Pixies in this dish. |
