Even if you mainly listen to rock, chances are you’ve seen your favorite artists mention the word “shoegaze.” Among the bands in the shoegaze genre, which emerged in the UK in the early 1990s, the most famous and important is My Bloody Valentine.

Fans even affectionately call them “MyBra.” The hallmark of My Bloody Valentine’s sound is an extraordinarily original sonic world—epitomized by their 1991 masterpiece Loveless, produced under such uncompromising perfectionism that it nearly bankrupted their then-label, Creation Records—where layers upon layers of noisy guitars fuse with ethereal melodies.

In 2008 they effectively reunited and even made a miraculous visit to Japan, and in 2013 they released the album m b v.

They also have shows scheduled in Japan in 2026, so be sure to experience their legendary live performance.

The song in which she sings about her complex feelings toward her older sister appears on her fourth album, Hotcakes, released in January 1974.

Written from the viewpoint of a younger sister, the lyrics capture a delicate emotional landscape that mixes admiration—and a touch of envy—toward a free-spirited sister who’s always a step ahead.

The acclaimed album that features this track is also known for reflecting the happiness Simon felt during her pregnancy, and this song, with its warm acoustic sound, celebrates family bonds.

It’s a perfect listen not only for those with sisters, but for anyone seeking a sense of familial warmth.

Oh, CandyCheap Trick

Often hailed as the originators of power pop and a major influence on countless later bands, Cheap Trick really set the tone.

Their very first single, included on their 1977 debut album Cheap Trick, is a surprisingly profound track.

The sound blends exhilarating guitar riffs with irresistibly catchy melodies—a quintessential example of power pop in rock form.

Yet the song’s theme is a tribute to a deceased friend, and it’s precisely this contrast with its upbeat tone that showcases their exceptional talent.

There’s even a record noting that this debut effort performed roughly at the equivalent of No.

207 on the U.S.

charts.

It’s a classic with a curious charm—one that not only lifts your spirits, but also reaches out to a heart weighed down by an overwhelming sense of loss.

Released ahead of the October 2025 album “Everybody Scream” in September 2025, this track is said to feature a single-take recording, a detail that speaks to its raw energy.

It’s a song that will stay close to you when you want to tune out public judgment and listen to your own heart.
