I'm just gonna post a couple that I think are elementary, and anyone into shoegaze should have all the stuff these bands put out.
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Practically the holy grail of shoegaze. If you don't have this, you need it.

Slowdive - Souvlaki

I'd say this and Loveless made the greatest impact on where this sound was headed.
http://www.mediafire.com/?qtparycgizqfmr4
Ride - Nowhere

http://www.mediafire.com/?ydznd4t1lmm
Pale Saints - The Comforts of Madness

http://www.mediafire.com/?rlihyakdbji
Lush - Split

http://www.mediafire.com/?gnvjnjj1nvm
Chapterhouse - Whirlpool

http://www.mediafire.com/?4mwncxzwbmn
Cocteau Twins - Treasure (get Head Over Heels as well)

http://www.mediafire.com/?wgunnk005mn
Other good shit...
Curve - Doppelganger

Alison's Halo - Eyedazzler
Catherine Wheel - Ferment
The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa - Pigment
Ultra Vivid Scene - Joy

This band has a new one coming out soon and I hope it brings them even more recognition then they already have. I have heard their music described as "stone-gaze"

I saw them live last year and I love all the noise. He makes his own pedals that are highly regarded by other bands/artists. It would always feel like he was getting his guitar as loud as humanly possible but then would somehow stomp another box and get it to a whole new level. I am a sucker for that sort of thing. Love feeling like my ears are melting off my head.
fuck that sounds toomey
I really fucking love Exploding Head, mixture of like Jesus and the Marry Chain and MBV
The song Ego Death just makes me wanna jump up and down bobbing my head with a huge smile on my face | | Back to top |  |

In the realm of shoegaze-sounding albums, The Appleseed Cast's Sagarmatha is one of my favourites. The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are also notable since they're one of the few modern bands that are authentic to the classic sound. | | Back to top |  |

I couldn't get into them, they aren't shitty but just didn't do it for me.
Yeah, the vocals were hard for me to get into at first but now I dig it. It's like a mash up of bad 90's radio rock and British shoegaze. | | Back to top |  |

I have to say Catherine Wheel is my favorite shoegaze band. Sure, they tend to be more straight up rock at times but fuzzy and lo-fi gets old (IMO). Sometimes you want something a bit more... like in depth song writing. And I think that's why CW hit all angles and deliver such a full sound.

also, I'll up the reissue that came out last year, featuring the Mission of Burma and Husker Du covers. | | Back to top |  |
