20. (Please) Lose Yourself in Me (1987)

You Made Me Realise was a striking, game-changing single by a band who had been largely ignored. You could understand why people thought it came out of nowhere, but it hadn’t. On (Please) Lose Yourself in Me, from 1987’s mini-album Ecstasy, you can hear My Bloody Valentine inching towards the noisily blurred-but-beautiful sound in Kevin Shields’ head.
