I know this will sound like shoegazer blasphemy, but I've always preferred them to My Bloody Valentine (despite the fact that they were named after one of the greatest slasher films of the 80s!). MBV tended to allow aimlessness far too many times; they lost me in some of their musical tangents. Whereas, Lush had a very clear vision of what they wanted musically.
Oh, and they never damn near bankrupted a record label with one record. HA!
And I'll take these two over Kevin Shields anyday...
