full_context: Document 1: List of songs recorded by My Bloody Valentine: My Bloody Valentine, an alternative rock band from Dublin, Ireland, have recorded songs for three studio albums and a number of extended plays, singles and compilation releases. Formed in 1983 by Kevin Shields, Colm Ó Cíosóig and David Conway, the band had a series of unsuccessful releases throughout the mid-1980s on various independent record labels. In 1987, after the addition of bassist Debbie Googe and vocalist-guitarist Bilinda Butcher, My Bloody Valentine released "Strawberry Wine", "Ecstasy", and the 1988 EP "You Made Me Realise", which were predecessors to the band's debut album "Isn't Anything" (1988). Considered an independent success, the band released two further EPs before "Loveless" (1991), their second studio album; which is considered their "magnum opus" and which received unanimous critical acclaim since its release. Both albums pioneered an alternative rock subgenre known as shoegazing, a term coined by "Sounds" journalists to describe certain bands' "motionless performing style, where they stood on stage and stared at the floor". My Bloody Valentine disbanded in 1997 after failing to utilise a third album although Kevin Shields was rumoured to have sent 60 hours worth of material to Island Records, with whom the band signed after being dropped by Creation Records in 1991. My Bloody Valentine reunited in 2007 and began completing their third album. The album, "m b v", was self-released in 2013 and received "universal acclaim", according to Metacritic.
