To say that Ride were "Very, Very average" is just wrong! Ok so the later albums weren't so great, but "Smile", "Nowhere" and "Going Blank Again" were, and still are, some of the best albums of that time.

the "Holy Trinity" should be, at least, a Quaternary. The glaring ommission being 5:30. I'll conceed that they were a short lived band, particularly in outbut. But what was output was quite individual and distinctive as well as massively influential on bands in the second two groups.
I really enjoyed Ride, but perhaps not group one grade.

A friend of mine runs a night called Sonic Cathedral, he's got a label and everything now... You should check it out... I laughed my ass off when he started it but it's been really successful... :S

Five Thirty! I remember a couple of years ago going into someone's office who had an Orange Deluxe poster on the wall.. got chatting to him about how I wish they hadn't split up 530.. turns out it was his band!

I've still got the first Five Thirty single taped off Gary Crowley's LBC show.

Slowdive's second and third LPs for me.

Been to a few nights, really can't see the point to be honest. I love your mate (not that I know him!) for the fact he'll put on Telescopes / Spectrum, but shoegaze is a musical dead end as far as I am concerned. The bands I have seen there, other than the two aforementioned are pretty shite.
I saw some good bands at SC nights. There were a couple of good supports when Jim Reid played there a few years back - The Morning After Girls (i think) and another JAMC wannabe band.

So what's the point of this thread then?

Anyone wanna buy my copy of the first Sonic Boom LP with the crazy plastic thing on the front of it? I'm pretty sure Pete signed it too...
I may have some other crap lying around for you idiots... ;P
I'll give you a quid for it since you hate them and won't appreciate it anyway.

WTF's 'shoegazin'? Lookin at shoes while listening to music?
-
It was the combination of the band's haircut and the need to look at a pedal board so big, that it could probably have powered the early lunar landings... lazy journalism.

If only there was a giant database we could search around here...
