The only thing annoying about shoegaze is that My Bloody Valentine effectively ended the genre almost 25 years ago with the release of Loveless. Every time I listen to a new shoegaze band, I think either: I wish they were noisier and more immersiv and/or I wish they wrote a song with a great melody and hook. And I inevitably go back to Loveless, which did both oh so great. I am also prepared to defend Loveless as the best album ever made. That's not to say it's a fight I'll win, but that's how strongly I feel about it.
