Lines into Shoegaze

All of the following have been cited as having inputs into the first wave of Shoegaze, which happened in the late 80s, early 90s:

Cocteau Twins
My Bloody Valentine (maybe the first actual SG band)
Spacemen 3
Jesus and Mary Chain
The production style of Phil Spector (particularly his work with the Ramones, which directly leads into the sound of J&MC)

There are undoubtedly others but these are the influences I've seen cited.
