Is there a big four in shoegaze? I can only think of 3 bands that defined the genre

Angel Evans
Dominic Reyes
mbv
jamc
cocteau twins
slowdive
Carter Sanders
>cocteau twins
Zachary Davis
are you a retard?
Sebastian Green
He's right, although the Jesus and Mary Chain was just as glaring and stupid an error. Neither of those bands were ever shoegaze.
To answer your question, no, there is not a "big four". If you had perused any of the shoegaze charts from the sticky you would have seen that they are all branching trees from Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, Nowhere by Ride, and Souvlaki by Slowdive.
Jaxon Peterson
More like big 3+1/2
MBV
Slowdive
Ride
And of one these: Lush, Pale Saints, Swerdriver depending on your preferences.
Benjamin Harris
Matallica = My Bloody Valentine
Megadeth = Slowdive
Slayer = Ride
Anthrax = ?
Lucas Butler
>jamc and cocteau twins aren’t shoegaze
filtered
Jonathan Allen
i love the people mentioning Ride as if they aren’t a peripheral band
Grayson Bennett
same with lush. shitter band.
Noah Gray
I think he means none of those bands actually saw themselves as shoegaze, even though it can argued they pioneered aspects of the genre.
Justin Mitchell
You could say that for most of these, there is no "big four". I like Ride a lot but yeah, not on the same level.
William Jones
I mean you may disagree with it but loveless, souvlaki, and nowhere are pretty often held up as the big 3 shoegaze albums (and those bands the big 3 shoegaze bands). personally, going blank again is the best album from any of them in my esteemed opinion.
Ethan Young
>getting music history info from Any Forums stickies
ngmi
Nicholas White
>shoegays
lol
William Bailey
coctaue twins are not shoegaze
Henry Morris
LUSH
Fifth is Catherine Wheel, sixth Swervedriver and seventh is Pale Saints
Andrew Campbell
nigger.
Colton Lewis
shoegaze as a genere is peripheral
Kayden Phillips
I used to think that for a while. I think the only thing Chris Ott ever convinced me of is that Ride do deserve to be on that pedestal, even if a large part of that comes from their live prowess.
Juan Garcia
MBV
Ride
Lush
Slowdive
Luke Price
