Spacemen 3 is the greatest shoegaze band to ever exist. Flying Saucer Attack beats any band previously mentioned in this thread as well.

First part yes; second part no.

In NO way is this better than Loveless 😐

I don't even know if I've heard anyone even say that before.

But, as stated, the first part was right 😁 Probably the 2cd-3rd place shoegaze band. Up with Ride & Catherine Wheel.

Shoegaze is one of those genres that I absolutely adore in theory, but am really meh about in practice. I guess that's why I consider albums like Siamese Dream to be so perfect, and think of things like this to be just okay.

Oh well.
