tom waits - I love the song 'martha' and it's one of his not-screaming songs (early works) but it's a bit sad
the pixies - where is my mind
yo la tengo - today is the day, or almost any of the 1st 7 tracks off of And Nothing turned Itself Inside Out
postal service - such great heights

[Sera]

Howard, thank you, those were fantastic ideas

[Ksandra]

I'd suggest the cranberries.
