Question: Is Ride ACTUALLY shoegaze or just noisy britpop?

Apart from Leave Them All Behind I really don't think it's very good.

>>71492766
Just because they don't fit your ideal definition of shoegaze doesn't mean they're not shoegaze.

>>71492766
early ride pre-dates britpop
late ride is just britpop

No I'm just curious since I've seen people argue that Ride aren't "real" shoegaze, esp surrounding their album Nowhere.

>>71492858
those people are asswipes

vapour trail, taste, and seagull are defining shoegaze tracks

retards just seem to believe if a tremolo arm isn't being bent while the chords are played it isn't shoegaze

>>71492858
well it came out in 1990 while britpop was a mid-90's thing so they're wrong

is that the cure?

>>71492746
One of my all time favorite albums. Not Fazed/Chrome Waves/Mouse Trap is one of the best three song streaks around. Arguably better than Nowhere

>>71493282
Yup

>>71493282
Agreed. It's one of the unsung shoegaze masterpieces along with Catherine Wheel's Chrome.
