there's an argument whether MBV or Jesus and Mary Chain's "Psychocandy" really started shoegazing. when "Psychocandy" came out in 1985, it hit everyone like a ton of bricks. here's this new sound that's like noise from hell mixed with bubblegum-pop melodies. when MBC did it with "Isn't Anything" three years later, the sound was already vaguely familiar.
