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.

gmku · 07.14.2006, 11:40 AM

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.

porkmarras · 07.14.2006, 11:42 AM

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!
