foxblood: My Bloody Valentines Day

foxblood 02.14.13	The most foxblood list to ever exist
foxblood 02.14.13	idk where 58 went
Keyblade 02.14.13	4 and 25 are just too good. also u know breathless, fuck yes
foxblood 02.14.13	yeah 4 is fucking crazy. so good, lilys rule
wacknizzle 02.14.13	awesome list, so much new gaze to check out
foxblood 02.14.13	start with 4 wack
wacknizzle 02.14.13	sweet, will do
ethixx 02.14.13	ily buddy ty so much
CelestialDust 02.14.13	Well, looks like I have my work cut out for me
foxblood 02.14.13	hi ethics! u might like 93, i could be wrong but it's really fuckin good cool celestial, dig through the list. there's a lot of essentials
CelestialDust 02.15.13	I've been randomly browsing some bands on spotify and am really digging starflyer 59. Nice list!
OnlyAnchors 02.15.13	this list seriously rules like woah. what are like the 5 or so albums on here that sound the most like radio dept????? im into the pretty/sedate gazing as opposed to noise gazing
foxblood 02.15.13	for some pretty, dreamier stuff check out 63, 25, and 93.
eternium 02.15.13	Most of this isn't dense enough for me and I don't have enough time to listen to each one to figure out which ones fit my shoegaze love (mainly MBV, Slowdive, and Medicine). Skywave is awesome though.
Aids 02.15.13	dude, nice effort. massive list.
DadKungFu 02.15.13	not a shoegaze fan as such, but excellent list.
Chortles 02.15.13	holy shit dude this is massive, great job dude bookmarked hard for whenever i go on a hard shoegaze binge
CK 02.15.13	Now here is a list where I may actually go through and check out every item
foxblood 02.15.13	awesome dude, please do. i'm trying to give this stuff more recognition. also if any of you have any trouble finding some albums i might be able to help you out
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	cool ass list fox. what are your top 3 albums here that arent obvious? ive heard about a third of the more well known stuff.
Keyblade 02.15.13	this list is awesome isn't it
foxblood 02.15.13	thx yankee. lets see, idk what you've heard but i'd say 12,29,42, and 89 are all worth checkin out if you haven't heard 'em.
foxblood 02.15.13	also 32 if you haven't heard it
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	yea ive heard all those besides 29 so ill grab that one now. shoegaze is cool but honestly its not really something I need 50 more albums of ya know. ill bookmark this though and rummage through it if Im in a fuzzy mood ha.
Keyblade 02.15.13	u can never have too much gaze fox do u dig pinkshinyultrablast?
foxblood 02.15.13	ah damn alright. 29 is fucking amazing idk how it isn't more popular. haha then how have you heard all of those if you aren't all that into the genre?
foxblood 02.15.13	i've heard of them (because of 40) but i haven't listened to them yet
Keyblade 02.15.13	dude you'd love em. it's got a japanese quirkiness about it which is weird because they're russian
foxblood 02.15.13	damn i'm always down with some japanese quirkiness. i think the only reason i haven't checked 'em out is because i didn't like the album cover haha. and i'm picky with nu-gaze (this list is mostly 90's) will check tho for sure
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	Never said I wasnt all that into the genre. I already dig like 100+ shoegaze albums, many of them here. Its more I just dont really want 50 more of them lol. Its a good but not a very diverse genre to me. Alot of bands are basically just mbv / slowdive / ride worship not done as well.
foxblood 02.15.13	true, but that's mostly because it was a shortly-lived and mostly unsuccessful genre. there are also a ton of post-punk bands that had a gaze sound much different than mbv or anything
Keyblade 02.15.13	like breathless. mmmh breathless
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	yea it is weird how it wasnt more commercially successful. i guess not enough easily understood vocals and choruses or somethin.
foxblood 02.15.13	people like shit music it's pretty simple well the actual answer is grunge largely, it was in a way a similar but much more accessible and radio-friendly genre.
foxblood 02.15.13	nirvana happened basically
Chortles 02.15.13	nirvana > any shoegaze band lOL
foxblood 02.15.13	lol i actually jammed some nirvana earlier, nevermind is not very good but in utero is that true shit
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	yea but I dont think thats the reason. the alt rock and indie crowds would have definitely taken more to shoegaze if it was pushed more. I didnt hear anything about it growing up. not even mbv really. not enough press is what I think. like i said I dont think they knew how to market it since the vocals were more subdued or whatever.
Chortles 02.15.13	some of my friends would agree tho a few of them are avid nirvana worshipers that think kurt was the savior of music
Chortles 02.15.13	and yea in utero brings the hard jamz
foxblood 02.15.13	well yeah it's complicated, i don't know the actual answer but i do think the grunge explosion lessened peoples interest in america. shoegaze was barely even a thing outside of the uk
Keyblade 02.15.13	grunge also hurt metal, yea fuck that genre
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	grunge was great. post-grunge is what sucked.
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	and yea thats it fox. i just realized like all the top shoegaze bands are from the uk.
Chortles 02.15.13	creed??
foxblood 02.15.13	yes creed
foxblood 02.15.13	yeah most american shoegaze bands had no audience and didn't do well commercially at all. as to why the scene died in the uk in the first place i'm not quite sure
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	i guess britpop happened. the verve is one example of a shoegaze band that went all britpop. even though bittersweet symphony is my jam yo
foxblood 02.15.13	ah i haven't heard urban hymns
Chortles 02.15.13	Scott stapp is my homeboy
YankeeDudel 02.15.13	scott stapp thinks what creed did was completely original. that they started something entirely new and have nothing to do with pearl jam and the other early grunge bands. he thinks he doesnt sound anything like eddie vedder. and that was after he jumped off a building to kill himself only to have T.I. call for help to save him.
Capablanca 02.15.13	Nice call with 61.
Masochist 02.15.13	Momumental list, sir. Though I'm disappointed there was no Starflyer 59 on here...
NOTINTHEFACE 02.15.13	It's awesome to see 43 on here. I had no idea anyone on this site knew they existed. I definitely prefer their albums "Come Over to the Deepend" and "No Thank You" and recommend them if you haven't heard them. Awesome list otherwise. This kind of music is kind of my comfort music right now, so this will be a great reference for me for months to come.
Havey 02.15.13	incredible work man
ViperAces 02.15.13	100 is pretty cul
foxblood 02.15.13	@masochist then look at 19:] @notintheface yeah i'm aware that's not one of their more popular albums but it's the only one i've heard so far, will definitely check out their other stuff and havey thx brotha
NOTINTHEFACE 02.15.13	Everything they've ever done is worthwhile so there's really no way to go wrong with any of their albums. Thanks to this list, Luminous Orange, Jesus Fever, and Tokyo Shoegazer are on my hard drive.
ITsHxCTOASTER 02.16.13	Holy shit this list is so awesome, gotta check out so much
ApplicationToHeaven 02.17.13	how can m b v be perfect when it has 2 bad songs?
demigod! 02.18.13	jeez i dont know where to start with this!
Keyblade 02.18.13	start with 4
demigod! 02.18.13	will do
foxblood 02.18.13	yeah 4 is a good start
demigod! 02.18.13	also i cant believe you like isnt anything more than loveless man whoa
foxblood 02.18.13	well i don't think it's 'better' than loveless. i like all 3 of their albums practically the same for different reasons, but if i had to pick just one i'd prob go with isn't anything
Havey 04.12.13	holy shit Pigment by ecstasy of saint theresa is so good
foxblood 04.16.13	^ dude i know, it's better than the majority of the more famous shoegaze albums out there
teeawgo 02.23.16	Thank you for this
Tyler. 02.23.16	yeah. gonna check a couple things from this hard
Keyblade 02.23.16	51 rules
TalonsOfFire 02.23.16	Awesome list and always happy to discover more shoegaze, but it's missing one of the best of the genre: Stella Luna - Stargazer
GmemberKills 09.15.17	fuck i and thought my list was decent
theBoneyKing 09.15.17	fuck another gaze list with a shit ton of stuff I need to check
