Excellent top 5. I was worried that Going Blank Again was going to get snubbed from this list. I'm glad I was wrong. Although they're primarily black metal and were therefore probably not eligible for this list, I think that Sunbather by Deafheaven deserves an honourable mention, which somehow managed to successfully blend shoegaze with black metal. Lastly, although #14 is a perfectly fine number, I hope that m b v will rise on these shoegaze charts in the coming years. It managed to do the impossible of being a worthy follow-up to Loveless.
^ Sunbather deserved more than an honorable mention imho. Blended metal and shoegaze better than any Alcest album did - and I really like Alcest. Not a lot of representation in this current decade, for that matter. I really liked Whirr's Pipe Dreams.
Great points, LordMark - I was surprised Split by Lush didn't make it - along with some other disagreements with album and rank particulars.

Jesu is on the list, so Sunbather should be that too.
