Hinduism in popular (and industrial) music

I'm looking for references to Hinduism in popular music, but in particular I'm trying to remember an industrial band from the 80s that was very influenced by ISKCON. Any other references to Krishnacore, particularly academic treatments, would be very welcome.

This is the first thing I thought of when I read your question. Here's the wikipedia page for the song, and the one for the band.
