blank spots have 3+ and usually little-to-no votes

This poll has just served to remind me how much shugazi I haven't listened to.

>>72141768
Was half-hoping this could also help people find shit from the big dead period for shoegaze between the late 90s and early/mid-00s since there's not too many super-critically acclaimed releases from there, mostly since things like slowcore and alt-rock were really gaining traction in the indie world and thus the trends would be reflected as such
Was definitely neat mapping out the different shifting trends in subgenres as years go on
I've still got a bunch of these to listen to

While fishmans are definitely dream pop I don't know if I'd consider them /shugazi/ canon
Only mentioning because Meme Season's leading Swirlies and I can't have that
Also damn you guys hate Ride

>>72140394
Damn, these lists make me realise how much of a Shoegaze normie I am.

You should add a list of album names to the right when this is done.

I'm kinda surprised Pinkshinyultrablast won the last two years, I think the albums were really blank.
I think in 2015 any of the Beach House realeases was better than Everything Else Matters, and Alcest - Kodama was better than Grandfeathered.

If you're suggesting that Kendrick did I think you need to ease up on the shit posting. Half the catalogue is fucking DAMN. or Kendrick threads, and there is a sticky.
This isn't necessary and it's ruining this board.
We should have just ignored your post.

>>72160323
yes because discussing a song that sounds similar to dreampop on shugazi is so bad. it's better to get butthurt and argue about it rather than talk about or ignore it

>>72161289
>>72161305
Sunbather, for me was just so refreshing and new. I recognise Candy Claws was really good but it came at a time where I felt the genre was really stagnating, and a lot of the albums released in recent times were just bad versions of the classics. To be fair, I was mostly listening to J-Gaze at the time.

>>72159925
damn we're still ending up with all the beachhouse albums on the list

>>72160371
It's not even dream pop, it just sounds influenced by it. Influenced by ≠ warrants discussion.

Tame Impala was directly inspired by MBV, but I wouldn't call them /shugazi/. If you really want to talk about Kendrick, there's around 8 threads in threes catalogue right now, we don't need to convert this one into the 9th.

It's a shame they never delved deeper into their alternative/experimental influences, especially with Brian Eno basically being a full-time member.
Some stuff on The Unforgettable Fire was straight-up dream pop, and since then he's used a lot of interesting guitar tones that could be sick outside of a pop-rock context.

I know Hammock are crescendocore pleb shit but their new album is very nice. Beautiful ambience and atmosphere, and the inclusion of vocals set them apart from other bands of the style.

>>72168584
HANL's Woe Unto Us has been stuck in my head all day.
I wish they'd reworked it and put it on The Unnatural World instead of Defenstration; considering how similar the two are I feel like Woe is the stronger choice and fits the gloomy theme better.

So, what got you all into shoegaze? For me, it was pic related. Washed Out's Parascom helped a ton as well though that isn't shoegaze.

Kinda disappointed that I never found anything close to this album but the ride was definitely worth it.

>>72171181
holy shit I didn't even realize it's been that long since it came out

>>72171194
One time I just downloaded a bunch of shoegaze for no real reason and I never looked back. Although, even before then, shoegaze did have that appeal that I always imagined and wanted psych rock to have. Psych rock didn't have it though, and shoegaze was both that and more intimate.

>>72171194

I heard about shoegaze in elementary school but I really wasn't able to get into it yet. I first got into Catherine Wheel sophomore year of high school after being a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan and finding them on youtube. I tried Loveless again that year and it clicked for me. I've been living in a hazey world of guitar noise ever since.

remember, this is /shugazi/, where the real GOAT shoegaze band is [insert generic bandcamp project that totally isn't just a self-shill], not that mainstream bullshit like beach house or deafheaven

I don't get the Psychopomp meme
There's no way this generic indie pop crap is AOTY for a year when Alcest, PSUB, and Sound of Ceres all put out some of their most solid releases
Even if you were going to meme some bandcamp-tier release it should've at least been the Jay Som album

>>72177687
>dae le stupid text to make someone who disagrees with me look stoopid xDDDD
Sunbather is just a boring shoegaze album that only got popular because it just happened to feature harsh vocals as a gimmick. It's not even true blackgaze by that standard. Give me one, just one fucking reason I should like it that isn't "/mu/ likes it"

>>72178086

Neither are "creatively drained;" DC is far less bland and more creative than bloom.

>>72177963
I really liked the one that was a play on the album cover for Fugazi's Repeater. If we could make it hazey amd purple like Loveless I think it would be perfect.
>>72178086
Sunbather has some amazing drumming and managed to use black metal techniques in an uplifting and beautiful manner contrary to the original intent of the style. Also it's structured really well and the two differing track styles that it switches between are all unique in some way so it doesn't get boring.

I want to know what possibly led to 14 people thinking "yknow, I really think that Is The Is Are is one of the absolute best shoegaze albums of 2016, and it deserves my vote as such."

Oshiin wasn't bad, I liked it.

>>72169780
I don't know. Leaving is one of those really special albums so I don't know if BtH tops it, but it's definitely better than Desideratum. Funny you say that about his voice because I feel like he's gotten better as a singer on BtH, especially with the addition of screams.
My only complaint about the album is that a lot of the songs were too short, once he gets into a groove I feel like he could extend some of them a lot more (which is part of what I liked about Leaving, the tracks were droning and it seemed endless and exhausting at times).
Very strong album though, one of the best this year so far. I'm interested to see where he goes next, since this seemed like a continuation of the Desideratum sound.

This is a really great album with such a unique sound, does anyone know if they're still around?

Also- Recommendations for some muffled shoegaze like this? I've been listening to the Fawns of Love who have a kind of similar sound, but I'd love more.

Honestly, what a fucking tossup of a three way tie. I personally like Ceres best, but goddamn I'd be fine with any of them being aoty 2013.

Memes aside I think Sun Bat Her deserves the 2k13 spot. MBV was a nice treat from a well-loved band but realistically it was a ~7/10 and didn't cover any new territory.
Meanwhile, Sunbather brought a fresh spin to a previously niche sound, and brought an album of extreme music more mainstream popularity than anyone could have ever expected.

C&C just wasn't that exciting in any way (in my personal opinion)

>>72189529
Don't forget there is a Grimmrobe Demos with extra tracks only found on Bandcamp.
Bremerton is honestly the heaviest shit I have ever heard from them.
I just wish they could emulate this exact sound live, it would be incredible

I dabbled in it as a young teen. But when I was around 15 I picked up a Sonic Youth record, Washing Machine. (not shoegaze, I know) and I fell in love and started listening to straight shoegaze a lot. That final track is great. I still have it somewhere.

How do you guys feel about the Big 3? Personally loved Souvlaki but didn't care too much for Nowhere. Loveless is right in the middle though it gets better with every listen.

true, it's because of waifu obsessed weebs. If there weren't japanese chicks on the cover and if the singer wasn't korean, it never would have gotten praise from people here.

Nowhere grew on me really well when I was getting into Ride, I fucking love that album. Seagull is one of the best songs in the genre

>>72190682
>Loveless is right in the middle though it gets better with every listen.
I'm in the same situation. I'm listening to the Nowhere remastered version in a couple of minutes in order to see if it gets better with additional listens. I would have to do the same with Souvlaki, even though I've listened to it 3 times now.
On the other hand, these videos, along with learning to play I Only Said (which was an instant favorite when I first listened to Loveless), opened a new perspective for it to me.
