Which are the GREATEST DREAM POP Albums? Yes, tough one to answer, there are so many excellent & amazing DREAM-POP records out there. However, here is my list of the 30 ESSENTIAL DREAM-POP Albums …until now. Understand this is a very subjective issue & everyone has their valid opinions. These 30 Dream Pop bands are suggesting building blocks to your Record collection (especially for beginners) which will be built on by other older & newer artists-records as they get discovered or appear to your likes. Said in a different manner, this is MY choice of the essential DREAM POP BANDS that you NEED TO OWN, listened to & have within any serious Music Record collection… They are just 30 names restricted in number for discipline sake and in NO particular order of ranking.

Realize perfectly well that there are other great BANDS names missing, but had to choose only 30 for this list... The debate is naturally opened & welcomed :O)
___________________

DREAM POP is a neo-psychedelic sub-genre of alternative rock that developed in the 1980s. The style is typified by a preoccupation with sonic texture and atmosphere as much as melody. It often overlaps with the related genre of shoegazing, and the two genres terms have at times been used interchangeably. Common characteristics are breathy vocals and use of guitar effects, often producing a wall of sound. Dream pop tends to focus on textures and moods rather than propulsive rock riffs (Source Wiki)
