973. when you sleep

“The problem with any My Bloody Valentine record is, however brilliant it may be, it can’t exist in same sonic universe of that same song performed live. Case in point, When You Sleep from Loveless. On record, it’s a superbly textured experimental pop song with a pronounced dreamy edge. Whereas live, in the Commodore Ballroom, 1992, it was a gauntlet thrown down by the gods. Swoon in our psychedelic power and complexity, it demanded. And maybe half the crowd did. The other half were gone by shows end, complaining about the noise.” (Philip Random)

980. the finest kiss

The Boo Radleys being one of those bands that never got the attention they deserved when they deserved to get it, which is to say, their early records when they were recklessly, beautifully fusing the weapons grade sonics of My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr with the sweet pop epiphanies of the Beach Boys, Love, The Beatles, Jimmy Webb even — The Finest Kiss (found on their second EP) being a fine an example of all that.
