most of my favorite shoegaze-like songs don't come from shoegaze bands. Like Dinosaur Jr's No Bones, Yo La Tengo's Cherry Chapstick, Polvo's Vibracobra. All dense guitar songs.

Good call on Horror Head. I'd add Avalyn and When the Sun Hits by Slowdive too. Cigarette in your bed is a great song too. Oh, and Aika-Guinea by Cocteau Twins!

Indian Bingo "Goon Lagoon"
Nightblooms "Starcatcher"
Bleach "Burn"
MBV "Sometimes"

I dunno...I've always hated the word shoegaze, and so much of the music that is too happy to ghettoize itself as such just plain sucks to me.

I agree. I wish people would relax on all these subgenres. Many of which don't even exist

I just realised that most of my favourite shoegaze songs are my bloody valentine.

i was going to make a list, but as soon as i put a mbv song on it, i put another one, then i put a third one and then i tried to put some other shoegaze songs but nothing even compared to mbv.

seriously, we need an mbv-less shoegaze thread because as soon as i think of them, i forget about everything.

my bloody valentine-sometimes
the jesus and mary chain-just like honey
galaxie 500-snowstorm
ride-seagull
slowdive-soulvaki space station

my shoegaze fandom is not unique, meaning its one of the few scenes/genres that the bands hailed as the best (aka, mbv-1, jamc-2, etc..) by the press (pitchfork, nme, spin, whatever lame indie wannabe mag) are actualy my favorites.

I didn't know The Jesus & Mary Chain were shoegazers, I thought they were considered to be noise-pop.
