Title: Shoegazing
Post by: SMiLE Brian 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.

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.

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

Forgot Mazzy Star! How did that happen. Also, Galaxie 500!

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).

Check out Beach House.  One of the best contemporary groups out there.
