Shoegazing

« on: July 08, 2013, 05:38:55 PM »

Any other great bands beside MBV that I need to listen to? MBV's albums are classics and I want to hear more.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I'm afraid my only answer to this is The Jesus & Mary Chain (who are a bit too punky for 'shoegaze' but are of the vintage and they fucking rule) and Spacemen 3 & their progeny. But yeah, Suicide by Spacemen 3 is the best shoegaze song in my unqualified opinion.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Oh man: Slowdive, Pale Saints, Mazzy Star (they mostly count), Spiritualized, Chapterhouse, The House Of Love (not the Lovester's Santa Barbara pad) , Lush. Ride (more shoepop), Mojave 3, and on and on...... Was a great period in music that gradually gave way to Britpop as we know it

If you get the chance, check out some early stuff from The Brian Jonestown Massacre. A wonderful band that truly captures the mid-60's psychedelic sound. Also a shoegazing group (not so much in their recent stuff, but it's all still good).
