More psychedelic than dreamy, but I played [Earthquake](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCu4r9FEeVI) by the 13th Floor Elevators while working at home in the afternoon a couple of weeks ago, and I had to go lie down take a nap.

Ulrich is well represented on the list. My current favorite is [A Letter From Home](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_6Z5C8cE0Q)  
[QUOTE=Ultraviolet]  
Breathe by Telepopmusik  
[/QUOTE]  
This is one of the first songs I ever heard that inspired this style that I like. It was also one of the first songs in a commercial that made go “Woah, commercials have good songs!”

See OP. 😃

Also, I forgot to mention upthread to those who mentioned Yo La Tengo - they are very well represented here. Definitely one of my GOATs. [Pablo & Andrea](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxq3GD93GS0) is my favorite on the mix.

You’re way ahead of me then. 🙂

How about [Falling](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPv2axAdt1c) by Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks)?
