My Bloody Valentine - “When You Sleep”
Ever since Link Wray unleashed “Rumble” on the world, distorted chords were nearly always the means to giving the music some edge or toughness, with the duty of sounding pretty falling to the acoustic guitars. Then shoegaze happened, and all of a sudden, loud distorted electric guitar chords could become beautiful. And so songs like the hazy deep-sleep romantic dream “When You Sleep” came into being, woozy amorphous gorgeousness and all.
