Placebo - Black Market Music

Heidi Barry - Pomegranate: An Anthology
Stevie Nicks - Trouble in Shangri-La
(Billy Corgan knows she's a good songwriter, and the best songs on the record aren't getting any airplay.)

Waterboys - A Rock In The Weary Land
Kings Of Convenience - Quiet Is The New Loud


Song that will make you say "What was he thinking?!? And how can I start thinking that way?!?":

Raymond Scott, "Cindy Electronium" (Released 1959)
Scott, the man who wrote much of the music repurposed by Carl Stalling on the soundtracks for classic Warner Bros. cartoons, used repetitive electronic motifs on this song forty years before the style came into vogue as electronica. Plus, the song's title is a band name waiting to happen.
