Best Ever Weather or Technical Songs

I thought I'd start with a band that could be a weather phenomenon with a song that signalled a communications dream! As ever thoughts and comments welcome,

At the risk of overstaying my welcome, possibly the ultimate weather/technical suite ever composed - and here presented live in its entirety at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979, with a very ill band (not that you'd notice). Includes audience participation and poetry reading. Just turn it off if you can't make it to the end, but do try ;)

Cloudbusting?

The January Man, I prefer Mike Harding's version

Anything from OK COMPUTER

Radioactivity - Kraftwek

Harmony of the spheres

Digital Love - Daft Punk

Cars - Gary Numan

I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker - Sandi Thom

Anything from from "Songs from the Flood Plain" - Jon Boden. Stretching a point may be but a brilliant concept of future folk music written in a time when the oil is running out
