While "The Colour of Spring" bears some traces of their synth pop beginnings, the last two albums are as far from synth pop as you can get.

Drunk pump to this thread (cause there is nothing better than listening to 80s new-wave music after a night-out lol)

Nice additions! Although i have to say that the psychedelic furs are more post-punk than synth-pop thats why i didn't mention them (and yes they are awesome). The Sound was another amazing post-punk group who had lots of synths featured in their music. But who cares, its all new-wave in the end!


Here are a few more which are not necessarily the typical hits of those bands but they are some of my favorite...


Camouflage- That Smiling Face (nice dark synth-pop)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S-TgWu_50Y


OMD- Enola Gay (one of the 80s big hits. Music you dance to while you think of deep stuff...like the second world war...!)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01SBf0tsLyI



Ultravox- Reap The Wild Wind (another powerful synth-pop tune by Ultravox.)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDspWsK_-vQ


The Sound- Longest Days (a masterful melancholic ballad by this legendary dark post-punk group)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIZLmbQbJ10



Clan of Xymox- Imagination (The poppy side of this classic darkwave band of the 80s. Clan of Xymox always deliver. Imagination takes the shadows away)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQvBJVEvdnc



A Flock of Seagulls- European (I Wish I Was) (excellent tune. The way it builds...shivers...)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6COpRgIbRU


This is the pre-apocalyptic pop-music of the cold-war. So good.

No kidding! You know, a lot of people seem to dismiss A Flock of Seagulls as a 'one hit wonder' band but I disagree. Their debut album is mint!


And since we're talking about singles, here are some of the more obscure ones:

Modern Eon - Watching the Dancers
The Silencers - Shiver and Shake
The Mockers - A Winter's Tale
November Group - Heart of a Champion
Rheingold - Looks Good on You
