By Al. In chronological order.
1. Jesus And Mary Chain-Just Like Honey
Inventors of shoegaze, gotta be on here.
2. My Bloody Valentine-Feed Me With Your Kiss
The undisputed kings of shoegaze, I put this song on it because hopefully everybody’s listened to Loveless over and over by now.
3. Ride-Vapour Trail
Ride’s Nowhere is almost universally recognized as the second best shoegaze album, which I agree with. I almost hate that they’re stuck with that title though, because they really do make pretty good music.
4. Swervedriver-Zedhead
Swervedriver is shoegaze for kicking ass to. Not as much with this song, cause I don’t have Mescal Head.
5. Black Tambourine-Black Car
This band isn’t all that shoegazey, but I still like it a lot. Also, Black Tambourine gave me comfort in knowing that girls can be just as creepy about crushes as guys.
6. Slowdive-Alison
Slowdive is the third of the big three shoegaze bands (MBV, Ride, Slowdive). A lot of people think they’re boring, but I think they’re pretty good.
7. Yo La Tengo-Sugarcube
Yo La Tengo are definitely NOT shoegaze, but I do love YLT. Plus this song is pretty shoegaze.
8. Asobi Seksu-New Years
Not much to say, I like em. She’s Japanese, and sings in it sometimes.
9. A Place To Bury Strangers-Don’t Think Lover
The most talked about band of the 21st century rebirth of shoegaze (I will NOT say/write Nugaze, except for the one I just used). Not sure they deserve it all yet, and the production is crap, but their live shows are supposed to be incredible.
10. Ringo Deathstarr-Starrsha
They’re from Austin!
