Oddly enough, I have only discovered the Pixies and Mission of Burma in the last year. The re-issue of Doolittle and Surfer Rosa by MFSL made me curious. Somehow I had never heard of the Pixies. They are absolutely great. After reading about them, and listening to their music, I can see how they were such an influence on Kurt Cobain.
Mission of Burma really is great, glad to meet them as well.
Bongo - I'm with you on Midnight Oil, love them. I saw them twice in the late 80's and was not a fan before the first show, got dragged there by a buddy who was in Boulder, and I ended up becoming a huge fan. Great show on campus as U of Colorado, maybe someone else here was at that show, it was great.
I'm adding Prince to this list for some of his songs that crossed all genres. Another sublime performer. I haven't been to a rock concert if about 15 yrs, but this is making me want to go. I think I'll pull up Pearl Jam's favorite website and look for a show. I think Stone Temple Pilots is touring this summer, maybe a So Cal show.....
