I mean this list is incredible and I need to listen to the whole thing at my leisure but I just came here to decry the lack of Purity Ring that is all, yes I am a critic, I’m sorry

The thing about dreampop is that I love it so much but I've only listened to probably half the bands. It would be aesthetically dishonest of me to just do a google search of "best dreampop tracks" and copy / paste it here, so there will be holes in my understanding of the style. But now I have a new band to listen to so that's a plus!

I am also assuming they are dreampop based on my very dim understanding of what that is so...good luck haha

Fantastic list! I'm really happy to see Pinkshinyultrablast & Blankenberge get a mention here!

OMG. I put on the music and I was right back there on the floor of my friends bedroom on the furry rug holding an orange... smelling it and wigging.

This is an amazing list. I'd personally add "I'm God" by Clams Casino for a more hip-hop angle, and most songs by Beach House, my favs being "10 Mile Stereo" or "Lemon Glow"

Beach House is a good recommendation. There's really a whole lot of music that I could have put on there but didn't.

That's what's interesting about dreampop; it has no recognized locus, and its sounds can be appropriated by all manner of musicians. It's very flexible. I'll have to give Clams Casino a listen.
