Paul Oates

Hoax article. Sources don't pan out, leading to 404 errors and suchlike. Article asserts "Oates is best known for his collaborations with various different bands and artists, including Moving Vehicles, Safari, Dire Straits, Duran Duran, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Go West, Dead or Alive, The Damned, Brian Eno, Los Pacaminos, Foo Fighters, Mike + The Mechanics and Eric Clapton"; if this was indeed true, then there *would* be sources online to verify this. However, there aren't - the only thing connecting the subject with these artists is this article. Created by author connected to the Moving Vehicles bundled nomination below.
