The Jesus and Mary Chain’s debut album, Psychocandy, is considered to be one of the most influential albums of all time. Released in 1985, the album helped to define the shoegaze genre, characterized by its use of distorted guitars, feedback, and lush melodies. Surprisingly Psychocandy was a critical and commercial success upon its release. It reached number 31 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the BPI. It is now considered to be one of the most important albums of the 1980s alternative rock / noise rock / indie rock scene.
