    My Bloody Valentine’s 20 greatest songs – ranked!

    Feb 02, 2023 4 minutes

    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.

    19. Instrumental No 2 (1988)

    Shields often claimed to be more interested in hip-hop and dance music than other guitar bands, and you could hear their influence on Instrumental No 2, which set a particularly haunting ambient guitar – alternately dreamlike and threatening – to the same Public Enemy-sourced drum loop that Madonna later used on Justify My Love.
