Mirror Man - Talk Talk

[link] One of their very early songs and one of my favorites.  These guys are pop geniuses and I am one of the army of musicians who counts them as major influences. There are a lot of elements, the melody line and Mark Hollis's delivery, the hooks in both verse and chorus, the keyboard figures driving the whole thing, the entire atmosphere (really effective live), the building of the song.  All really singularly great here.
