Title: My Bloody Valentine

So I guess the question is Where has this group been all my life? Just getting into them and frankly what I've heard is just breathtaking.

Welcome to the club, loveless is the lost masterpiece of the 1990s. Isn't anything and mbv are really good as well.

Sound like Sonic Youth back when they were good with the singer from the Coctteau Twins fronting them, plus dare I say it - shades of Brian Wilson.

Kevin Shields loves the BBs and was at the BWPS shows in 2004. Loveless had the same effect smile had on BW with Kevin not doing a lot for a while afterwards.

I've tried several times over the years but just can't get into them. Not my cup of tea, I guess.

I love their guitar sound. They made aggressive distortion sound melodic and beautiful. Sounds to me like slowed down power pop showered in psychedelic effects. Plus, Bilinda Butcher, total cutie, though I guess she`d be considered a cougar now that she is in her 40s.

Loveless is a 1991 classic and m b v almost better and a total surprise at that.

Yes. What is classic for you, to me is one of the most insipid collection of songs I'd ever heard. Same goes for "m b v".
