685. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Release Date: 1991
Label: Creation

I have been looking forward to listening to this album for a while. It's one of those records that's been in my orbit for a number of years, but I've never got round to listening to it. This is one of the reasons why I think this book is so rewarding. Anyway, along with Ride's album (684) this is another essential shoegazing album, and probably the best one.

Rating: 8/10

623. My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

Release Date: 1988
Label: Creation

Sometimes you just have to admit that you don't share your musical tastes with all the critics and tastemakers. I've heard MBV's second album - Loveless - is the most important album in their canon, so hopefully we'll have better luck there.
