| Does Porcupine Tree count? I loved them when I was younger?
| selfcorrection - no second questionmark.
| I kinda want to get into shoegaze. Where should I go after MBV's Loveless?
| common recommendation after Loveless is Slowdive's Souvlaki. it's a pretty comfy listen.

Porcupine Tree is more progressive than anything, but it does have a bit of alternative rock. so yeah, it counts.
| to add to the post-rock part; anything by A Silver Mt. Zion or Godspeed You! Black Emperor
| >>272727 Godspeed is good stuff. I recommend the "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" album. Good nostalgic piece of ambient.

listened to LYSF back in god-knows when and it was nice, but i'm more of a Allelujah! guy personally
