there's so many, but here's a few that seem to get little to no love on BEA
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (album pick: Dazzle Ships / song pick: Genetic Engineering)
XTC (album pick: Big Express / song pick: All You Pretty Girls)
The dB's (album pick: Like This / song pick: Spitting in the Wind)
Killing Joke (album pick: Night Time / song pick: Eighties)
This Mortal Coil (album pick: Filigree & Shadow / song pick: Strength of Strings)
The Waterboys (album pick: This Is The Sea / song pick: Spirit)
Arthur Russell (album pick: World Of Echo / song pick: Soon To Be Innocent Fun/ Let's See)
Crime & The City Solution (album pick: Shine / song pick: One Every Train (Grain Will Bear Grain))
Go-Betweens (album pick: Liberty Belle & The Black Diamond Express / song pick: The Ghost & The Black Hat)
Basically came here to post this. Thank you for doing my work for me.
Though for albums + songs I'd say XTC's best is Skylarking and Generals and Majors as the song, and OMD's best was the debut with the best song as Enola Gay. That's just me. I have the limited edition 45 of genetic engineering, tohugh, great song. _________________

haha thanks. it was all off the top of my head, and i chose those particular songs and albums by XTC and OMD because i never hear them mentioned, and they're so incredibly good.

Fair enough! I still hate that Vh1 called XTC a one hit wonder for Dear God. Not even their best SELLING song. One of their best songs, sure, but they certainly weren't one hit wonders for it. _________________

The Gun Club - "Preaching the Blues"/"Sexbeat" (both from Fire of Love)

Flipper - "Sex Bomb" (from Generic Album)
Fear - "New York's Alright if You Like Saxophones" (The Record)
Circle Jerks - "Live Fast, Die Young" (from Group Sex)
Saccharine Trust - "A Human Certainty" (from Paganicons)
Angry Samoans - "Get Off the Air" (from Inside My Brain)
some other punk from outside Cali
Minor Threat - "Stepping Stone" (from Complete Discography)

Killing Joke - "Wardance" (from Killing Joke)
Scratch Acid - "Cannibal" (from Scratch Acid (first EP))

Also if you like these you might be familiar with or might enjoy the following:
It's A Girl - Sweet Baby
Nevermind the Bassets - Sweet Baby Jesus
Everybody's Entitled to their Own Opinion - Mr T Experience
Night Shift at the Thrill Factory - Mr T Experience
Of course all of that led up to the wonderful 90s groups Bomb Bassets, Hi-Fives, and as some don't realize ... Green Day.
