Without a doubt, MBV would not have become as interesting without the influence of "Psychocandy", but the latter's noise is not crafted in nearly so much detail.
I concede though that "Psychocandy" should make my list, too.
Terry Riley's 1960's stuff should as well, from "In C" to "A Rainbow in Curved Air" and especially to the Organ of Corti "Terry Riley Archive Series" material. MBV fans should hear volume 4 of the latter, a forty minute excerpt from one Terry Riley's all night long concerts, using echoplex to massively layer organ and soprano sax into one dense twisting, turning, and throbbing organism.
