the best songs ever: the lost years

[gabrielle]

Much is made of the fury and angst of Gen X music: metal, grunge, gangta rap, etc, but I'm going to start off this year with something a little softer, a little dreamier.  There was a trend in the British Isles during these years called "shoe gazer bands."  My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless is believed by some to be one of the best albums of the decade.





Here is a lovely song by Slowdive, but it is not an original song of theirs.  It is a cover of a song by former Pink Floyder Syd Barrett, from his solo works he made before he went into seclusion.
