Which alt.rock band is your pick and why?
My choise is Pixies all the way. I always find Nirvana so overrated as 90's band, esp. with their album Nevermind. Even I prefer grunge bands Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden over Nirvana. 
And one fact: no Pixies - no Nirvana!

 I listen every once in a while to Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam's Ten.
Also The Cure and Joy Division are worthier for a listen than these two (IMO).

Both were awesome, but Pixies win it easily for me. Despite Nirvana being the only band I've seen playing a club before they got huge, who then went on to get huge.

It's been a long time since I've listened to the Pixies, and I really like Nirvana's Bleach and In Utero albums. Nevermind's been so overplayed, I can't listen to it much. I'll have to revisit the Pixies before I vote.

Nirvana.  I don't mind Pixies, but I have a lot more time and memories tied to Nirvana's catalog.  They obviously had a short career, but what was put out was great, IMO.
