Shoegaze / Dream-Pop
by 
Arthurknight 
This is ordered more in favour of recommendations than personal favourites – call it a curation over a critical list, though everything here is great. The issue with 90s dream-pop/shoegaze is the fact many acts predominantly released their best material as either standalone singles or in EPs, which makes including them very difficult considering the parameters of BEA. However, all my recommendations can be neatly found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6tchXLgWtCALLFsfPEaPcj?si=b3d7537830ae4dc4
