And per my comment in the other thread, I'm going to lobby for Black Crowes. Shake Your Money Maker, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, Amorica, Warpaint
All I know is Dread will be embarrassed to see any sort of hair metal being talked about in the same sentence as the Pixies.
Hit me with objective criteria.

If we let Pixies in we open the door to a whole host of other critically acclaimed but only moderately popular bands. Which is totally fine with me, because I think there are a lot of great bands apart from the Big 5 or so that I might not know much about who actually had good albums.
How about this website?
Maybe a top 2000 album or better?
For example, this aggregator has Pixies Doolittle as #17 vs. Van Halen II as #2739.

But I think that leaves off a lot of great rock bands who weren't as popular as AC/DC.
