Here's a couple:

<a href="http://www.cyberus.ca/~cs/Gary Numan - On Broadway (live) (1979).mp3">Gary Numan - On Broadway (live) (1979)</a>

<a href="http://www.cyberus.ca/~cs/Nash the Slash - 19th nervous breakdown.mp3">Nash the Slash - 19th nervous breakdown.mp3</a>

Of course, the first one that made an impression on me was Devo's version of (I can't get no) Satisfaction.
