Flying Nun Records was out of New Zealand and many of those bands listed heavily influenced the indie rock of the 90s and beyond...

No, I believe you.
I have fairly widely varying tastes in music and so it isn't every day that I get a list of like 20 bands dropped on me that I'm not even remotely familiar with. A touch before my time, but still.

I've literally never heard of Flying Nun Records. I like some obscure stuff, too. But I'm gonna dispute the massive influence of a small New Zealand label.
Though looking at their wiki, it appears Garageland was on the label. I like them a lot.

They were surprisingly influential for US indie rock and still are even if many of the groups were never that widely outside of people in bands here.
Friend of mine, who runs an indie label, actually picked up distro rights for the old Flying Nun catalog recently.

I'm kinda surprised that youve never heard of that label... While they are on the other side of the world, over the past 30 years have become fairly iconic...
Listen to those bands listed and you will see a direct influence to the noise pop of American indie rock...

Never heard of them.

Yeah, I tend to have some obscure tastes, so I'm surprised you brought up a label I flat out didn't know. I checked 'em on the web and the one band on the roster I knew was a Garageland, who I like but don't love.
But I'll check out the bands you listed. Thanks for the heads up.

So you like the pixies, but dislike surfer rosa? How is that possible?

I think that is easy to do. I like the Pixies, but mostly because of Doolittle. I don't hate Surfer Rosa, but don't really care for it at all. Gigantic and Where Is My Mind would be throw-aways on Doolittle.

Wait... what? Throw in River Euphrates and that's the greatest three song stretch on any Pixies album. I'd suggest Gigantic is THE Platonic ideal of what is a "Pixies song".

I just can't picture present-day Frank Black in skinny jeans.
Would size 42's even count as skinny jeans? Is it the actual size of them that matters or the tightness?

Whenever I back-listen to bands, the less polished albums are the ones I end up liking the least. For example, everybody was saying that Gentleman was the best Afghan Whigs album, but I thought Black Love was better than it and that both were worse than 1965, and i didn't -- and still don't -- think it's even a close call. I think 1965 is EASILY the best of the three.
Perhaps sometimes nostalgia/sentimental value -- or in my case the lack thereof -- plays a part?
Sorta like how that girl you devirginized could never totally get over you. Yeah, that doesn't mean you're cool.

Boy, do we not subscribe to the same aesthetic. I'm the total opposite. Slick production is a huge negative to me. I'm not even talking about older albums, I'm talking right now. So nostalgia doesn't play a part. I just like my rock n roll to be dirty.
I do find it odd you dislike less polished albums, but are the board's leading Beatles hater. the Beatles practically invented the overly polished album.
