    Music that's based on a drone can seem like there's no tune, such as Tomorrow Never Knows or Within You Without You, but 'tune' is in the ear of the beholder, I think. 'Territorial Pissings' by Nirvana and various death metal pieces. 'Oh Superman' has a tune to my ears but not to everyone's. Some of Dylan's live versions?

      I must say the point about U2 is good. Elevation and Desire spring to mind.

        Ha. I liked some of Ride’s stuff, but that just sounded atonal relative to their previous singles.

          I would say quite a lot of Cabaret Voltaire fitted this category (in a good way).

            I'd say O Superman definitely fits my criteria for this. It was the first song that came into my head.

              The Girl From Ipanema or so I remember from playing the saxophone 30 years ago. It's all one note.
