Exactly the song I would have posted to exemplify the genre.
Yep, when the guitars come crashing into “Today,” there’s definitely shoegaze influence in that. You can hear it all over Siamese Dream. It’s not straight-up shoegaze, but that guitar-pedals influence of the genre and thickness of sound can be heard throughout. I guess “some of their more expansive works” is limiting it a bit. I think you can hear it most there, but some of their “poppier” songs also wear the influence.
My bad, I thought that was Jamaica Farewell, in which case what about Jamaica Farewell?
Nah, the 90s version of stoner music would be, well, stoner rock, something like this:
or this:
Which begs the question: what is the one stoner rock track everybody knows? Must be some Queens Of The Stone Age song. What was their biggest hit?
I’d guess "No One Knows. "But I think of “Go With the Flow” when I think of QOTSA “stoner rock.” Was that on one of the Rock Band or Guitar Hero games?
I bet a significant number of people in the US know Trio’s “Da Da Da” thanks to its use in a Volkswagen commercial.
And I remember being aware of Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” and “Der Komissar” (though the English version by After The Fire was probably better known here).
Bossa Nova: The Girl From Ipanema
Good one. Although “Soul Bossa Nova” is pretty well known for its use in Austin Powers.
Or anything by UB40, all of whose American hits that I know of are remakes.
Check this out! It’s a professor and composer of sacred and classical music who does evaluations of metal and progressive music. (Warning: He does take a rip off a bong, so be aware if this offends or triggers anyone.)
That’s a good question, as it depends on how you define New Age. Does Vangelis’s “Chariot’s of Fire” count? Enya’s “Orinoco Flow”? Enigma’s work? It’s … fuzzy. There seems to be disagreement as to whether “Tubular Bells” is considered New Age, but, honestly, that’s the first /earliest popular song I thought of for the genre, so I’m with you there.
For me it was “Blame it on the Bosso Nova” from the “blacks without soul” sketch in Amazon Women on the Moon.
While there were a number of popular songs on the radio for a while, I think a lot of people would struggle to come up with anything other than The Impression That I Get for ska.
Yeah, I somehow forget that Falco had hits in the US, and he surely belonged to the NDW, though being Austrian and having his greatest hit with “Rock Me Amadeus” in 1985, when the NDW had already collapsed.
As for Trio, fun fact: Klaus Voormann, bass player, graphics designer and one of the strongest contenders for being the fifth Beatle, was Trio’s producer. It was a deliberate creative decision to produce music as minimalist as it turned out to be. I really think they didn’t expect the massive success they had.
Sadly, there’s Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da.
How about Horace Silver’s “Song For My Father”? Just heard it this past weekend. Probably not the purest example, though.
Surely the Verve Bittersweet Symphony is the best known example of Shoegaze?
I mean Floating in Space by Spirtualized is the best example, but it would be pushing it to describe it as well known.
I guess the true definition of Showgaze is your video has a long haired stoner walking towards the camera 
No. Not even close.
If you’re not from DC, or even if you are, and you’ve ever heard go-go music, it was almost certainly E.U.'s “Da Butt.”
So what would be? Given I agree with the posters above that its extremely a stretch to describe either the Pixies or Smashing Pumpkins as Shoegaze.
