Giorgio Moroder
 

ANYTHING produced by Giorgio Moroder is worth checking out. An early pioneer of Eurodisco /Synthpop

Examples:
1. Donna Summer "I Feel Love" 1977
2. Sparks "No. 1 Song In Heaven" 1979
3. Japan "Life In Tokyo" 1979

Without him guiding other artists, 80s synth pop wouldn't have become what it was...

Started reading this thread and the following song from 1980 popped into my head!

Alphaville "Big In Japan".....lol...one guy just stands like a robot playing the keyboard while the other dude dances away...

In your room - Depeche Mode

Awesome post and really enjoyable.
