Yeah, looking at my growing spreadsheet of song and album selections for the 2000s, there are a number of shoegazer-ish (post-shoegazer?) entries, including:

"Drain Cosmetics" - Serena Maneesh (2006)



and

"Runs Into Flowers" - M83 (2003)



You guessed correctly, Bri, when you noted that most of us were keeping some of our top selections hidden until later in the year. In fact, Stuart has been so hush hush that he's avoiding posting altogether. But this last M83 song will likely figure close to, if not in, my top 10. 'Soaring' is one adjective I'd use for it.
