I only just found out about the Zeuhl genre in its entirety in early 2008. I feel like I've wasted the last 15 years of my life, this stuff is REALLY good.

Isn't shoegazer a recent tag? Jesus & Mary Chain have been around for decades.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

But was it called that back then? I remember mod/goth/new wave/new-ro/cyberpunk/industrial (etc.) but not shoegaze(r). And I never heard of J&MC referred to as such.

I don't know about the most important (plus I think I already posted in here somewhere?)  But I'm very glad I started listening to more Soft Machine,  Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Synergy-Electronic Realizations for a Rock Orchestra, and VERY importantly  Edgar Varese

Thanks to that BBC Four documentary I found Egg, got The Polite Force and loved it (as well as Fugue in D minor and Symphony No. 2)
