ni'k · 06.18.2008, 08:15 PM

even tho i said in the other thread mbv shouldnt be called shoegaze ill still stick them in here.

1. mbv - only shallow
2. mbv - soon
3. the swirlies - pancake
4. the telescopes - perfect needle
5. curve - horrorhead

pbradley · 06.18.2008, 10:11 PM

most of my favorite shoegaze-like songs don't come from shoegaze bands. Like Dinosaur Jr's No Bones, Yo La Tengo's Cherry Chapstick, Polvo's Vibracobra. All dense guitar songs.

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.18.2008, 10:15 PM

1. To Here Knows When-My Bloody Valentine
2. Red Sea-Asobi Seksu
3. Alison-Slowdive
4. What You Want-My Bloody Valentine
5. Sueisfine-My Bloody Valentine

Good call on Horror Head. I'd add Avalyn and When the Sun Hits by Slowdive too. Cigarette in your bed is a great song too. Oh, and Aika-Guinea by Cocteau Twins!

my bloody valentine - you made me realise
my bloody valentine - several girls galore
curve - horror head

I'm glad someone mentioned When You Sleep. My absolute favorite MBV song.

DJ Rick · 06.19.2008, 01:29 PM

Indian Bingo "Goon Lagoon"
Nightblooms "Starcatcher"
Bleach "Burn"
MBV "Sometimes"

I dunno...I've always hated the word shoegaze, and so much of the music that is too happy to ghettoize itself as such just plain sucks to me.

I agree. I wish people would relax on all these subgenres. Many of which don't even exist

Trasher02 · 06.19.2008, 03:33 PM

MBV - Sometimes
Slowdive - Dagger
The Swirlies - Sunn
JAMC - Just like honey
SY - beauty lies in the eyes (100% shoegaze!)

king_buzzo · 06.19.2008, 03:36 PM

I just realised that most of my favourite shoegaze songs are my bloody valentine.

i was going to make a list, but as soon as i put a mbv song on it, i put another one, then i put a third one and then i tried to put some other shoegaze songs but nothing even compared to mbv.

seriously, we need an mbv-less shoegaze thread because as soon as i think of them, i forget about everything.

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.19.2008, 03:58 PM

mbv sometimes
ride dreams burn down
moose jack
flying saucer attack standing stone
mbv glider full length version

batreleaser · 06.19.2008, 04:24 PM

my bloody valentine-sometimes
the jesus and mary chain-just like honey
galaxie 500-snowstorm
ride-seagull
slowdive-soulvaki space station

my shoegaze fandom is not unique, meaning its one of the few scenes/genres that the bands hailed as the best (aka, mbv-1, jamc-2, etc..) by the press (pitchfork, nme, spin, whatever lame indie wannabe mag) are actualy my favorites.

atsonicpark · 06.20.2008, 03:43 PM

slowdive - blue skied an' clear [though space station is my favorite]
mbv - sometimes
swirlies - pancake [strange that you mentioned that; that was the first song to come in my head]
swervedriver - son of mustang ford
loveliescrushing - [anything off of first album]

Death & the Maiden · 06.21.2008, 12:50 AM

I didn't know The Jesus & Mary Chain were shoegazers, I thought they were considered to be noise-pop.
