See the third post in the main Diversions thread for links to download the songs.

M
Pop Muzik
Robin Scott
From the album New York, London, Paris, Munich
#1, 1979

M, the alter ego of Brit Robin Scott, had only one song appear on any Billboard chart, a fairly impressive task for an artist with a #1 single. He later worked with Ryuichi Sakamoto and recorded an album with South African band Shikisha.

Gary Numan
Cars
Gary Numan
From the album The Pleasure Principle
#9, 1980

Gary Numan first led Tubeway Army, whose biggest hit in Britain was Are Friends Electric? Cars was his only hit in America. He was arrested in India over suspicions of smuggling and spying while attempting to fly around the world in 1982.

Yeah, if Pop Muzik was a kid that you didn't mind punching in the face and kicking to the curb. Easy call here.
