The Best Shoegaze & Dream Pop Albums of the 21st Century
Another genre to experience a resurgence in the 2000s was Shoegaze and its sister genre Dream Pop. Just like Post-Punk, Shoegaze encapsulates a wide range of styles, and some artists are able to meld them together. Whereas a 90s or 80s list would be dominated by the big three, this list (while still having all of the staples of the genre) explores the lesser known and maybe under appreciated. For those thinking this genre is dead, get ready to find some new favorites!
As with the Post-Punk list, we've tried to keep it to just one album per artist to highlight more contributions across the board. Several of these acts released more than one great Shoegaze album in the 21st century, but we want to give credit to those who are under the radar. Click an album below to read a review
