Almost made the list for the novelty/strangeness factor: Golden Earring — N.E.W.S. It’s really good…if you’re into that kind of thing–a hard rock new wave hybrid kind of thing. Sounds like it could be on a parallel universe Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine or a poppier D.A.F. album or something. Nice drums especially and synth bassline, scratchy guitar. Could only have come out of the 1980s.
