I've loved shoegaze for years, I just find Galaxie 500 to have more long-term appeal than a lot of those bands. For example, today I regard Galaxie 500 as better songwriters than MBV. It certainly hasn't always been that way, I mean I regard Loveless as one of the most important albums I ever listened to. It's strange how over time your opinions change, I remember thinking years ago about how I would always regard Loveless as my favourite album no matter WHAT, I found it so good. But although I've known Galaxie 500 almost as long, I still love them and listen to them often nowadays, which isn't the case really for MBV.
btw I only bring up shoegaze because you often see G500 mentioned in association with that style of music.
