The Pixies were a huge influence on "grunge", especially Nirvana. Early Radiohead was very influenced by the Pixies, and that early stuff was the "grungiest" of Radiohead's material.
I guess it depends on how you define "grunge"...it's kind of a silly label. To me its the loud quiet loud dynamic that was a big part of 1990's rock.
