Eh... I wouldn't say he pioneered shoegaze at all. If we want to be genre nazis (which I don't object to), the only album that could even be considered a precursor to the genre (from that time period) would be White Light/White Heat... and even that's a bit of a stretch. However, you could say he was an early pioneer of noise rock. His use of guitar feedback (along with The Monks and VU) as well as atonality and dissonance were vital in its creation.
