walking in the shadow of the big man is the only one i've heard but it's pretty good

Devo Gary Numan and Oingo Boingo if you're a sperg

The Cars if you're a normie

I think you might enjoy Sparks. Start with Angst In My Pants. If you enjoy that one, you'd probably love Kimono My House. If you think Angst > Kimono, move onto Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins and then everything else. If Kimono > Angst, move onto Propaganda next and then everything else.

Elvis Costello my man, he is a little overrated by most critics but its cancelled out by the fact that he is massively slept on on this board.

Listen to the albums This Years Model and My Aim Is True

King Crimson- Discipline for Talking Heads

No joke. Elephant Talk can easily be mistaken as a Talking Heads song.

Devo, Phil Collins Genesis, Television, Elvis Costello, Huey Lewis and the memes

'80s King Crimson.

Early-mid '80s Rush got very Police-ish at times.
