That guitar/synth wash in the chorus of Smashing Pumpkins' Everlasting Gaze is what dreams are made of. No shoegaze band I've heard has matched that quality that some of those Machina tracks have.

A lot of those late 90s/early 00s not-shoegaze-but bands dont match to it either. No Hum or Deftones or any of their clones can do it. Maybe early Devin Townsend with Infinity and Ocean Machine, maaaaybe.
Look, I love the early Pumpkins. In college, they were my favorite band. Obsessed. But I can admit Billy has a voice that was an acquired taste. But on that song, he was perfect.

I can’t stop loving a lot of smashing pumpkins stuff despite him though.
