There are some other decent songs in these bands' catalogs, but in my memory they're one-offs. But they're one-offs that shouldn't be forgotten.
This Picture: Naked Rain (1989/1991)
It was too hard to dig out from under all those comparisons to U2, and This Picture faded quickly. If this actually was a U2 song I'd rank it among that band's best.

Times Two: Sweet Jane's Revenge (1990)
So much better than their other stuff.

David & David: Welcome to the Boomtown (1986)
This is as close to Bruce Springsteen as I can bear to come.

Blackbird: Take Me (1992)
From the Dils to Rank and File to Cowboy Nation, Chip and Tony Kinman followed a meandering path. But through all of that this is the song that I love.

Furniture: Brilliant Mind (1986)
This song got some attention from featuring on the soundtrack of Some Kind of Wonderful, which happens to be my favorite John Hughes film.
