Alright, another vote for Ride!
As for first album, Nowhere is a good place to go to begin. Lots of swirly guitar and distant vocals...very good stuff. My personal favorite is Going Blank Again, but Smile, the album that combines their first two EPs, is excellent too. Actually, this kept me company on my hour drive to work this morning. Fun fact: The CD of Smile is mastered from the vinyl of the original EPs, while the EPs, if bought separately, are just mastered normally. Interesting.

I can't believe there are only 2 votes for Slowdive who really is the most shoegaze out of all those bands and one of the finest ever!! Nothing against the others
![]() I would also add bands like Low, La Bradford (more of an evolved shoegaze which shoegaze was defined by a time period much like grunge), Bedhead etc. Even terms like Spacerock kinda bleed across that category but maybe they rocked a bit more, dunno, even though I wouldn't even put MBV quite as spacerock....... Musical categories fit much better back in the day and nowadays I can't classify anything ![]()

I had to vote for My Bloody Valentine. Simply because Galaxy 500 wasn't on the list!!!!!!

Jim Reid is one of the coolest people ever. But they do seem to be staring at their shoes quite a bit. |

The Jesus and Mary Chain were a better band, but I think that My Bloody Valentine could hold their own against them. Give them a good run for their money.
