I agree, everyone has its particular idea of "shoegaze": for me it's a genre that's built entirely on the sound and not on the melodic vocal lines. Loveless from MBV and Just For a Day from Slowdive are the best examples for me: oniric sound, voices hidden between guitars and effects, heaven sensations. Other bands, imho, created a shoegazing guitar sound (Catherine Wheel, Ride), but they put on it melodic vocal lines that brought their songs out of shoegaze. But that's only my idea.

it certainly wasn't mbv's 'first' period. second or third more like, depending on whether you count the goth phase & the twee phase. problem with what you're saying is that shoegazing gets reduced to the album, loveless & the band, slowdive; and the later bands in that vein like lovesliescrushing. whatever you think shoegazing should be, it was far more encompassing than that. certainly more than the ridiculous definition on wikipedia!

Thrashy punky feel = that was not shoegaze. You made me realise = song of MBV first period = little shoegaze, little thrashy punky, little noise, little psychedelic. Loveless = oniric dreamy noise = pure shoegaze. That's imho.

[James Dyaimz]

well wouldn't that just make all of shoegazing psychedelic then? I would say there is a thrashy punky feel to this that doesn't exist in psych. unless you want to give me examples...

[pinkfloyd8666]

imho this song is more psychedelic than shoegazing

[James Dyaimz]

this is officially the first shoegazing song (imho) the song that started a genre.
