I love Tai Shan. Never got what people have against it.

I thought that was a 10cc song until I learned otherwise!
“Cadence and Cascade” is practically the same song as “I Talk to the Wind.”I disagree with this choice.
Almost every KC release has at least one quiet, melodic song that contrasts with their usual intensity.
The Night Watch, Book of Saturday, Matte Kudasai, Cadence and Cascade...
And then there’s Islands, where most of the songs are quiet.

Camel - Remote Romance, trying (too hard) for a hit......

The Doors - Mosquito
The Beatles - "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)." I would have said "Revolution 9," but I don't think it fits the OP's criteria.
Yes - "Owner of a Lonely Heart." Obviously bears no resemblance to classic Yes, but it doesn't even really sound much like the rest of the Yes West catalog.
Black Sabbath - "Changes." I don't know their catalog inside and out, but it stands out among all I've heard from them.
I forgot about these (That’s Herbie Hancock on piano/synths on the Lesley Gore tune):

While the Monkees covered a lot of different styles including psychedelia, this may be their most "out there" song, one that the casual Monkees fan would never be able to guess was one of their songs, especially with Mike's processed vocals and the avant garde instrumental break.

Back on the subject of “female R&B singers do hard rock”:

I'm not a Dylan fan, and I don't know his whole catalog, but whenever I hear Lay Lady Lay, I can't believe it's Dylan. He actually sings in this one - pretty well.
Beatles - Good Night
Dylan - Rainy Day Women
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory
Jethro Tull - Pan Dance
Pink Floyd - San Tropez
Yes - Man in the Moon
Queen - Body Language
Yes, they had funk songs like "Another One Bites the Dust," "Staying Power," or "My Baby Does Me." But those felt like Queen songs with real arrangements. (The live version of "Staying Power" shows the strength of the song as a driving rock epic.) "Body Language," on the other hand, was some half-assed bass line with Freddie Mercury either breathing or screaming the inane "lyrics." Brian May appears only quietly at the end, as if to say, "Yes, I'm in this band and on this song, but I don't want to admit it."
"Arf." -- Frank Zappa, "Beauty Knows No Pain" (live version)
Some more...
Opeth's "Damnation".
Uriah Heep's "Conquest"
The whole albums.
and as far as songs are concerned:
Black Sabbath "Changes"
Kiss "Beth"
