Thanks for all the advice on which bands are/aren't shoegaze on the other poll, guys! I've taken all your suggestions into account and removed the bands that aren't shoegaze, and now I've added a lot more that definitely are shoegaze. Enjoy!

I truly hope this is satisfactory.

― stephen, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 17:51 (seventeen years ago)

Fuck you for not including Jeff Beck.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 17:52 (seventeen years ago)

What can I say, another "borderline" shoegaze artist. You should have spoken up sooner, Mr. Raggett.

― stephen, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 18:10 (seventeen years ago)

I really like some songs by the "A" groups.

― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 18:39 (seventeen years ago)

Where are Megadeth?

― chap, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 18:40 (seventeen years ago)

No one mastered those effects pedals like Air Supply. Ah, the good old days...

― Bimble, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 18:44 (seventeen years ago)

Out of this entire list, Alan Parsons was the only one who ever admitted that his work could be labelled as shoegaze.

― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 18:49 (seventeen years ago)

Actually, wait, where's Quarterflash.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 18:51 (seventeen years ago)

Tin Machine. Haters are invited to suck a chubby.

No DBG, no credibility.

― Oilyrags, Thursday, 1 May 2008 13:14 (seventeen years ago)

You left out Dave Matthews, dude.

― Michael_Pemulis, Thursday, 1 May 2008 14:35 (seventeen years ago)

My "always vote for Kansas" rule has its moment in the sun!

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 1 May 2008 15:57 (seventeen years ago)

M83 have more in common with these shoegaze bands than the ones on the other thread.

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 1 May 2008 19:57 (seventeen years ago)

I came on here expecting some Drive By Truckers ,y'all.
Fuckin pussies

― Fer Ark, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:05 (seventeen years ago)

Thank you very much, NoTime. I got dead sick and tired of reading about M83 on that other thread. They're boring as hell.

No Bachmann Turner Overdrive, no credibility.

― SeekAltRoute, Friday, 2 May 2008 11:43 (seventeen years ago)

Now that I realize the dragon is gazing at Yngwie's shoes the whole story makes sense to me!

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 2 May 2008 14:35 (seventeen years ago)

anyone have a guess who's gonna win the poll??? :)

― stephen, Friday, 2 May 2008 19:10 (seventeen years ago)

Alan Parsons Project, 'cuz I heard "Eye In the Sky" in a Falafel place the other day. Still great, goes well with tatziki.

― contenderizer, Friday, 2 May 2008 20:30 (seventeen years ago)

hey, where are JOURNEY? Or BOSTON?

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Saturday, 3 May 2008 12:16 (seventeen years ago)

Why worry about Journey when you can vote for Bad English?

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Saturday, 3 May 2008 12:56 (seventeen years ago)

Slightly disappointed that Millions of Dead Cops did not get a slot in the starting grid

― Fer Ark, Saturday, 3 May 2008 14:36 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

This is actually a guilty pleasures poll more than a shoegazing poll. :)

All of those acts are sort of supposed to be bad, but Alan Parsons Project, ELP, Howard Jones and Kansas were all great. Voted Howard Jones.

― Geir Hongro, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:54 (seventeen years ago)

(And would have voted for Dodgy or Thompson Twins had you remembered to include any of those. Probably Ocean Colour Scene as well)

― Geir Hongro, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:54 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Monday, 5 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

I can't believe people actually voted!

― daavid, Monday, 5 May 2008 23:19 (seventeen years ago)

Wow, Primus won a poll.

― rockapads, Monday, 5 May 2008 23:21 (seventeen years ago)
