About this playlist
Even in Boston's fertile scene in the late '80s, Galaxie 500 stood out, taking the dreamlike side of Television and The Velvet Underground to new heights. Built on drowsy tempos and shimmering guitars—with some livelier garage rock between the lines—Galaxie 500's music influenced shoegaze and dream-pop through the '90s and beyond. You can thank them for acts like Low, Codeine, and Beach House.
