My Bloody Valentine : Loveless(1991) I saw the record in the shop, I bought it for the cover and some good critic I' ve read. A great record, a monument of Noisy Pop two months after 'Nevermind'. Bad times for my ears, I heard these two records over and over in the subway, a perfect soundtrack for the beginning 90's. I prefer 'Nevermind' but 'Loveless' comes close. Kevin Shields released his masterpice(BTW he would never get back from this), Bilinda Butcher sings like Elizabeth Frazer, you are never quite sure if she sings in English or Serbocroate, it doesn't mind it's blurry, it's beautiful, sometimes it sounds like the 'Cocteau Twins' sometimes like 'Velvet Underground', sometimes like Genesis under Acid, and it's always still Pop, Long Live The Queen!

great band! I've heard "Loveless" a few times, but only own "Isn't Anything," both are excellent.

I would absolutely love to go to Paris, problem is the money right now and finding somewhere to stay there.  I think I'm not going back to school for fall semester as I already am a sophomore anyways, so once I get a job I should have enough money to visit EU, I've never been overseasOuch.

I'm in the minority that prefer Isn't Anything, but I like Loveless enough

One of the most experimental, captivating and hypnotic albums of the 90s.  I don't play Loveless that often, but I'm completely mesmerized whenever I do.  Great album, though I never cared at all for their other material.
