Dream pop (also typeset as dreampop) [7] is a subgenre of alternative rock [8] and neo-psychedelia [9] that emphasizes atmosphere and sonic texture as much as pop melody. Common characteristics include breathy vocals, dense productions, and effects such as reverb, echo, tremolo, and chorus.
- Not Drowning, Waving- Another Pond (Rampart Releases, 1984) Our first entry on this list is an unsuspecting and extremely underrated one, released a few years before the genre was “officially” coined, but no less deserving of inclusion.

- Dif Juz- Extractions (4AD, 1985) One of 4ADs most underrated bands also received the magic touch of Guthrie and Frasier, adding their telltale sense of beauty and wonder to the band’s debut album.
