"Then there was the whole “shoegazing” scene that we weren’t really into. We had that term tagged to us, and it seemed slightly derogatory. It was partly because a lot of the people in those bands used to go see us when they were younger, then they all formed bands, and they were openly into us. But they all kinda had their own thing going, but what they all had in common was chorus and flanger pedals. That wasn’t what we were doing. It was literally that approach to music that made me do what I was doing. I couldn’t stand that you could hear the pattern of the effect. So instead of being psychedelic, it was the opposite. It was something that your mind immediately recognizes, and ignores. So it was weird being linked to something that was in many ways the exact opposite of what we were about."

It seems like every shoegazer tagged band has an argument going against them for their not being so.

I liked the first Telescopes album (with the Perfect Needle), before they signed to Creation to sound like Chapterhouse & others

i put isis in the same sorting as mogwai, EITS, pelican, jesu, but yeah i think they are a modernized shoegaze band in a way. kind of like sigur ros.

my shoegaze elite would definitely be:
slowdive
swervedriver
pale saints
the verve
lush
catherine wheel
jatmc

I'm not sure if Swervedriver actually count, but they're SO awesome why not. I also think Ride are wonderful, at least their first album. Another great album is The Buried Life by Medicine.

hey I'd like to thank you all for these. I've always liked the sound of loveless, despite only hearing it like twice. I've been wanting to check out some shoegaze so this is helpful.
Also I've heard a few amuesment park on fire songs and thought they were cool.
