Real Shoegaze: A Short Guide
by 
JulianR 
Shoegaze is one of the most underappreciated genres out there, and in my opinion, the critical consensus on what is good is quite bad. There are a bunch of bands out there that are essentially noise post-punk, such as MBV's earlier works including Isn't Anything. These bands, with retrospect, are not really shoegaze much at all, but much closer to noise-rock. So, I have taken it upon myself to educate the masses on what is both real and good shoegaze (yes, I'm consciously on my high horse :). The albums are in a random order, I suppose
Quick PSA: Ride is not shoegaze, and is also extremely mediocre

This is an almost literally unheard of, but stunningly gorgeous, shoegaze album with dream pop leanings.
