I mostly listen to current music because I crave the new. I want innovation, change, and people who push the envelope. I also like to hear the roots of music. I think it is important to know where music comes from. So I'll occasionally listen to the classics.
Now, if someone is new to alternative rock it is important to listen to the Pixies. Yes, they were an important band. But so was Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, the Jesus and Mary Chain, etc. Those bands were the Pixies peers but they don't get as much attention.
