## What 2 lists say

### No. 6 in [Shoegaze](https://waxonia.com/genre/shoegaze/)

A Ronettes drum intro drowned in feedback. Predates the scene by years and supplies its founding idea: bury a perfect pop song and let people dig.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

A Ronettes drum pattern buried in feedback, with a love song underneath that nobody expected these people to have written. The template for the decade that followed.
