MBV, although it was a toss up between them and Spiritualized...been listening to a lot of both today actually, I find them very healing.

But I do like Belle & Sebastion.

How about Sigur Ros? One of the best "Zone-out" bands I've heard recently.

Mogwai reminds me of them quite a bit. Dreamy, slow, spacy. I'll have to look into some of the other bands you've listed on the poll. Thanks for the leads.

Since we're using a ridiculously distinct term like Shoegazing, Godspeed fits more into the 'post-rock' style, along with groups like Do Make Say Think, KC Accidental, and the Dirty Three.

Or are my heroes. Either way.
I lulled a femme into my dorm with a Mogwai record this evening. :-)
