Our shoegaze thread is locked. I stumbled upon this video a while ago. An amazing number of bands mentioned.

Youtube video here.

Oh, and Alison by Slowdive just because.

Trash Theory is a good channel. Their video on Paul's Boutique was especially great.

Can't have a shoegaze thread without Smashing Pumpkins.

Loveless is so great. And it seems to get better and better each year.

As for Slowdive, I’m probably in the minority here, but I think there self titled comeback release is their best album. It’s my favorite at least.

Sugar for the Pill

No Longer Making Time

I think they would have been more popular with a different vocalist.

Shoegaze, for the most part, isn’t even music. It’s just noise.

You haven't listened to much of it then. I hate noise. What Lush song is noise? How many seconds of the My Bloody Valentine songs did you actually listen to?

Apparently you don’t. Nor can you distinguish between it and music. I have unfortunately listened to far too much Lush, MBV (including live), The Cure and other such acts thanks to a former fiancé. Enough to determine that distorted fuzz, inaudible lyrics, perpetual reverberations etc is just racket. A smoke screen to make “different” music without actually having any talent.

I don't believe you. Nothing you are posting makes any sense musically. Possibly the worst take I have ever seen on this board.

They were more goth than shoegaze, but they did kind of cross over both genres. One of my all time favorite bands.

The style doesn't fit. Amazing voice though.
