Another few synth groups I would put up are Erasure, Alphaville, Secret Service, Fiction Factory, Men Without Hats, and Falco (although not a group). I agree with Neapolitan's post about the genre blendning..I think alot of groups in the eighties can be considered synth but then someone else will just classify them into another genre. Ah well, I just put them all in my "good" category

Hey! I haven't listened to Erasure in YEARS!!!! So I listened to "A Little Respect" again to remind myself because I actually forgot this duo existed until reading your post. I used to listen to them a lot in the 80s! Now I'm going to listen to more of their music to remind myself of what they sing.
Yes, I liked "A Little Respect" quite a bit. I just watched the video, never knowing what the main singer looked like. He looks like someone with a lot of personality! The other song of theirs I liked was "Oh L'Amour," mentioned earlier by Liljagare. I just listened to it again...probably the first time in 20 years. Wow. That takes me back in time. I like the aching feeling of their music.

I would also like to add Nick Kershaw and Howard Jones to this list (ok maybe I am bumping this thread so that it stays above the Ke$ha thread for at least a few minutes and because I think they deserve that).
" and Gary Numan of course (with Bill Sharpe in this one). Last edited by Liljagare; 04-24-2010 at 06:01 AM. |
