From what I've seen here, I'd say that The Stone Roses are clear winners followed by Velvet Underground and The Specials with an honourable mention to Simple Minds.
Some also rans from me: Japan - Tin Drum (The Art of Parties, Talking Drum, Ghosts), Depeche Mode - Violator (World In My Eyes, Sweetest Perfection, Personal Jesus); Flight of the Conchords eponymous (Foux Da Fafa, Inner City Pressure, Hiphopopotamus vs. Rymenoceros)2 -
