Not to be an ass, but just because people like SY more than the Pixies doesn't necessarily mean SY is more influential than the Pixies. (I like SY better too by the way.)

The influence thing is really hard to judge, and it all depends on what you define as being influential. If you measure it by which band has had a more long lasting influence on "mainstream" music, I think you have to give it to the Pixies. On the other hand, if you measure it by lasting musical legacy, and what the artists have contributed to music, I think it goes to Sonic Youth.
