have to agree with Howard Jones being awesome. always liked this one best



and the hair is definitely not doing it hahahaha

also, how the hell does an 80s synth pop thread get to 4 pages without Duran Duran???



they just don't make them like they used to hahaha

Howard Jones did have some pretty darn catchy tunes goin' on... my eight year old brain was probably pretty easily sucked in to that...

The Fixx - One thing leads to another.
 
The Fixx - One thing leads to another, is one of my favorite from this specific era & genre. Howard Jones was always a fav, and Duran Duran too.

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. I absolutely love synth pop, so I'll repeat what I posted in the new wave thread, 'cause these are such great songs: Visage and Gary Numan


But I'll add something more: Soft Cell


My favorite electro pop is the one with a more raw sound and a punk immediacy like Fad Gadget and those German EBM bands like DAF and early Die Krupps



But, my absolute favorite I discovered recently: a New York minimal synth band Dark Day led by Robin Crutchfield, ex-DNA member (of No Wave scene). A catchy, hypnotic quality - what more can you ask from a synth band. These two songs below are from Exterminating Angel (1980)

Don't forget the unmistakable sound of Ceta Javu. The lead singer is now a professor of geography in a university somewhere in Europe.

I'd never heard of Dark Day before, dankstra. Your description is spot on...a catchy, hypnotic quality.

Lovely song! I like the hard beat contrasting with the pretty bell-like tones.
