Kate Bush - The Dreaming with something of TD/EiaSB sound
King Crimson - Starless(the first 4 minues or so w/the mellotron part) (from Red) using BBK style vocals and the rich HoL guitar sounds
Peter Gabriel - The Family and The Fishing Net (from Security) using a Garlands/Lullabies sound...maybe like Alas Dies Laughing
Genesis - Cuckoo Cocoon using a Victorialand/Moon and the Melodies type sound...think Whale Tail/Oomingmak vocals over Bloody and Blunt type guitar sound.

Harry Nilsson-"Black Sails"
Bill Nelson-"Watching My Dreamboat Go Down In Flames"
