  1. Song to the Siren

    1983 · 4AD

    Ranked No. 1 in Dream Pop

    Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie covering Tim Buckley, with almost nothing behind the voice but a treated guitar. The record that told a whole label what it was for.

  2. Song to the Siren

    1983 · 4AD

    Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    Almost nothing behind the voice but a treated guitar, and it is still overwhelming. A cover version that has effectively replaced the original.
