- Five-Ten-Fiftyfold (Head Over Heels, 1983) The second tune on my first ever exposure to Cocteau Twins. The obscure lyrics, the far-away sound, Fraser’s shrill-yet-beautifully-haunting vocals, and that saxophone coming in in the background.
- I Wear Your Ring (Heaven Or Las Vegas, 1990) Wait for it. Around three-quarters of the way through, this tune changes key, and the effect on the ears is pretty spectacular.
- Blind Dumb Deaf (Garlands, 1982) This is a hypnotic assault on the senses, and contains what is probably, for me, the finest and most simple guitar riff ever used in a piece of pop music, augmented by near-perfect use of effects pedals.
- Lorelei (Treasure, 1984) Treasure is probably my go-to album whenever I’m wanting some Cocteau Twins that isn’t too heavy, or if I’m introducing a friend to the band’s music.

First on this Cocteau Twins songs list is a song that was taken from the band’s eighth and final album released in 1996 titled Milk and Kisses.This was actually written about Jeff Buckley.

This track is from the band’s sixth album Heaven or Las Vegas released in 1990. Although Ivan Watts, the president of 4AD said it was one of the best albums of that year, he let them go due to his personal relationship with the band deteriorating. It was the group’s most commercially successful record, reaching number seven in the UK and ninety-nin...
Next, we back to the band’s early days with this track taken from their 1982 debut Garlands.When the album was released it received much support from renowned British disc jockey John Peel and reached number five on the Alternative album charts.

Here is a song taken from the band’s second album Head Over Heels released in 1983. It was their first album as a duo with Fraser on vocals and with Guthrie provided all of the instrumentation. This track is another classic example of the band’s sound, featuring Guthrie’s sublime guitar sound that just sounds like a spacey wall of noise. The album ...
Here is the opening track from Victorialand, the band’s fourth album released in 1986. Simon Raymonde did not play on this album because he was working with This Mortal Coil on their Filigree and Shadowalbum. The album barely features any percussion, instead having a largely ambient sound. With this record, the band are advancing even more. This tr...
