Classic Shoegazing Music

I remember seeing a long interview with the band members of Lush on some CBC program way back in the early nineties, and liked them ever since. This is my favorite song of theirs (apparently, it's everybody's favorite: it's been posted numerous times on YouTube, with this version marginally clearer than the others). They were in the same vein as My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Ride and a bunch of other groups in the "shoegaze" movement, so-called for their tendency to stare down at their instruments rather than looking out at the audience when they played. Obviously, the way this video is shot, you don't quite get that effect, but hopefully you'll enjoy it anyway:
