4. Mazzy Star
How you remember them: This shoegaze band, formed in 1989, was led by Hope Sandoval. Her dreamy voice is a perfect accompaniment to the band’s early material. The group’s biggest song is the romantic “Fade into You” from 1993’s So Tonight That I May See.
How you don’t want to remember them: Mazzy Star only has four albums total. The group followed upSo Tonight That I May See with 1996’s Among My Swan, which did pretty well. Then Sandoval and company disappeared. Well, until 2013, when they came back out of nowhere and gave us the color-by-numbers Seasons of Your Day. Shoegaze definitely had its time, and it’s not now.
