The Boo Radleys were a shoegazing band?That's news to me.

porkmarras 07.14.2006 11:40 AM

And what about Sweet Jesus?They were a good band for the three minutes that they existed.

How about Th' Faith Healers?

I know they're not really shoegazer like MBV or Ride. But damn, I was listening to their Peel Sessions the other night, and wow, there are moments where they can be downright hypnotic. They're like the Pixies on ecstacy or something.

It's cool, it's cool, it's cool
in a hippy hole.
Filled with smoke,
Look at the flowers,
Try some of this,
Shit for hours...

Swervedriver's Mezcal Head is a masterpiece.I play that album a lot.

Sultans of swing anyone?
Carter Unstoppable Sex Machine with your fries?

porkmarras 07.14.2006 11:43 AM

Would you sir like Drop Nineteen with your main course?

porkmarras 07.14.2006 11:43 AM

Did i hear Adorable there?

porkmarras 07.14.2006 11:51 AM

No?Seefeel?

porkmarras 07.14.2006 11:54 AM

Could you pass me some Chapterhouse please?

Sonic Youth 37 07.14.2006 12:11 PM

Spacemen 3 and Loop and Seefeel I consider Dream Pop, so that's why they're not up there. I just forgot to put the Twins up there. The Mary Chain is in essence Noise Pop but they are pretty much the jumping off point of shoegaze.

porkmarras 07.14.2006 12:15 PM

Lali Puna then.

Sonic Youth 37 07.14.2006 12:15 PM

How about lovesliescrushing?

porkmarras 07.14.2006 12:19 PM

Who are they?

Sonic Youth 37 07.14.2006 12:20 PM

Mid-90s shoegaze from Arizona. Like MBV but more electronic sounding. Just two people.

porkmarras 07.14.2006 12:24 PM

I'll check them out if you'd care to kindly up them.Seefeel were one of the bands that were mentioned in the (in)famous article by Simon Reynolds that coined the term post-rock.Main were another one.It's bizarre how that term went on to describe a totally different genre of music.

Sonic Youth 37 07.14.2006 12:35 PM

I would kindly upload them but I have been having trouble tracking down the album.

Savage Clone 07.14.2006 12:41 PM

I know one of those loveliescrushing people. Top guy! Great project too.
The Lilys had an album called "In The Presence Of Nothing" back then that was a pretty fantastic MBV-styled record. They didn't stick with that sound for long, but that album is a keeper!
