i've always pegged the start of shoegaze with The Smith's 'How Soon is Now' single. i know it's not indicative of that group's typical output but it's got all the prerequisites, looping bass line, melancholy vocals, sparse guitar drenched in oodles of reverb, all while still maintaining a clear identity as a pop song as opposed to becoming avant garde sonic art.

also please don't overlook SIANspheric in this thread.
