Holy Shroud
Lenore Syndrome
Pilot Scott Tracey
Vola and the Oriental Machine
Brainiac
Experimental Dental School
Six Finger Satellite
Thunderbirds are Now (just the early stuff is awesome)
Enon (not a huge fan myself but I knew someone would mention them if I didn't)

Probably a billion more if I sit and think.

I've heard two of those bands, and of those I like only one of them.

I've heard half of them and like 4.

I dont' agree completely. BUT I would tag MBV as "over-rated."

Shifty Prophet 06.17.2009 07:54 AM
Agreed on the vast, unwarranted felatio performed on MBV.

Satan 06.17.2009 07:56 AM
i don't think they're the end all be all of everything but i do love them muchly and no shitty second-rate shoegaze band like lush and slowdive can even begin to compare to them

Shifty Prophet 06.17.2009 08:00 AM
Cranes?

Satan 06.17.2009 08:08 AM
do they even count? they sound more like einsturzende neubauten.

i don't know how unpopular this opinion might be but JESUS JONES SUCKS

Shifty Prophet 06.17.2009 08:09 AM
I always thought they had shoegaze sensibilities.

Satan 06.17.2009 08:12 AM
somewhat but i wouldn't exactly classify them as shoegaze

Shifty Prophet 06.17.2009 08:17 AM
Oh well, opinions.

Trees is filled with very well written songs, sounds fantastic, and the guitars, though mostly acoustic, still manage to sound like Thurston.
Why? Psychic Hearts is total crap haha.

SuperCreep 06.17.2009 08:44 AM
Jeff Buckley probably could have matured into a better, more interesting songwriter had he lived longer, but as it stands, he was pretty crap.

Following off that, the only versions of Hallelujah that should have ever been recorded is the Cohen original and John Cale's version.

Shifty Prophet 06.17.2009 09:00 AM
I can't take Tim Buckley's voice.

Another one for you.
-Though Macbeth has to be in the top 10 best Sonic Youth tracks, I think The Whitey Album really is a bit crap.

atsonicpark 06.17.2009 12:34 PM
true.

Agreed, and will add that I think most SYR's aren't that great either.

And I still don't see why some view Silver Sessions as an epic masterpiece.
