Talk:List of songs by My Bloody Valentine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I created this list, and just wanted to explain a few minor things. These are songs I gathered from the various MBV discography pages on Wikipedia. There are many more songs listed at mybloodyvalentine.net that should be added.

As for the formatting, I didn't wikify any of the dates per the suggestion to not link a date unless it was a "zeitgeist event" (I don't think any of the release dates are that exactly). Also, it would have broken the various guidlines in the Wikipedia Manual of Style and have just been overwhelming if they were all linked. If only the first mention of the dates were linked, then it would have been a pain if a reader had to scroll back to find the first date that was linked. And I didn't quote the songs because it would've looked cluttered. I chose the title cell color just because it's the closest highlighting color available that reminded me of MBV (from Loveless, apparently).

I didn't include minor details like the differences between the two versions of "To Here Knows When". I figured that's better left to the respective album pages.

That's about it, I think. I'm pretty happy with it (somewhat proud, actually, even though it's incomplete). Do what you think needs to be done. -ShaneCavanaugh 08:01, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

More thoughts: MBV were on a lot of marginally important compilations over the years, and I've chosen to not include any unless there was something particular about them; such as: there's an alternately titled "Cigarette in Your Bed" on a comp, so I figured that warranted inclusion. Remixes and such too. Anything officially released under the MBV band name should be included, like "Soon", the same version of which was on Glider and Loveless. -ShaneCavanaugh 18:41, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
