Propaganda: No Return.
Lark's toungues in aspic pt I and II by King Crimson.
and many many more that will come to me later, but I have to look like I'm pretending to work here.
Hmmm, just had a look on my iPod - the only track(s) I have by artists where I don't have anything else by them are.... pretty dodgy... 
Both the English and German versions of 99 Red Balloons by Nena...

black and white - the dbs move me - the woodentops nouveau western- mc solaar when it all comes down- miaow big- new fads all on you (perfume) - Paris angels one dimension - Simian green raven blond- alpinestars
^^ a much better offering C33, I think that's more what this is about, but I'm too dull, to come up with much.
I crewed for New FADS once. (not MUCH of a claim to fame is it )
Everyone should listen to this:
Missing The Moon - The Field Mice
Much better NO-influenced track than anything by The Killers et al...
