Cocteau Twins seemed to have been an influence on the genre. However, logic tells me that the Beatles started the genre.

Did the Cocteau Twins start this alternative genre?

Agreed. Hands down, my favorite song on that record. Does Jesus and Mary Chain count as shoegaze?

Aside from MBV's Loveless, their Glider and Tremolo EP's are brilliant, as are Ride's Nowhere, Smile, and Going Blank Again albums

And, yes : My Bloody Valentine was great before Loveless :

(Oh God that intro)

Greatest noisy pop single to my standards (the actual title is "You Made Me Realise").

Great shoegazing tune :

The noisiest, strictly shoegazing bit starts after 2'30 - note down the singer has some sort of "Morrissey-sing-a-like-contest-winner-" sound about him : )
Great guitar part anyway - the guitar player being Harvey Williams, of Field Mice fame, whose solo albums you might want to check out.

Otherwise, I agree with Mr Shankly : early Lush stuff is great. Check out "Superblast!" for example.

Some people may consider these two Shoegazing:

Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space- Spiritualized

Urban Hymns- The Verve

A Brief History of Love- Big Pink

Primary Colours- Horrors

Methodrone- Brian Jonestown Massacre

And Pretty much what everyone else said. Catherine Wheel and Loveless and Stone Roses, can't go wrong there.

Let me know what else you find, I can't get enough of Shoegazing.

Gala--Lush (pretty good, as I recall)

Beaster--Sugar (not a shoegaze band but this ep is kind of in that genre)

The Straitjacket Fits were a pretty good shoegaze band as I recall.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart is good but is blatant Field Mice plagiarism. Try "Sensitive" by The Field Mice, a classic.

The Word and the Flesh- Band of Susans
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart is new, came out last year...rather gaze-like but I wouldn't say full-on gaze.

Recent "shoegazing", or, more accurately, the ones who have understood best what MBV was about : M83.

Maybe not fully appropriate, but Catherine Wheel was thrown into the shoegazing genre. Might try Ferment and Chrome as they're closer to it than the later albums.

Just need some suggestions, I'm really starting to get into shoegaze as a genre. I would also like to hear some new shoegazing if at all possible.
