Good song, but I like Love action better:


Incidentally, did they ever produce anything remotely as good as Dare?

http://www.musicbanter.com/games-lis...litz-game.html brings us here this morning.

The "Week" threads, dedicated to a different genre each week, were one of MB's better institutions imo, though they were finally abandoned due to lack of member support.

Anyway, no reason why we shouldn't revisit one - after all, we have seven years of developments in synth pop to catch up on. What's happened since adidasss posted Human League in 2010 ?

My only worthwhile contribution is to say the Eurythmics are fun.

Early Depeche Mode maybe? Simple Minds?

I was literally just listening to Strawberry Switchblade, and then Discovery by ELO.

Ah there's plenty of good synthpop out there. Discovered these through my Albums of 2017 thread.

"Blood in your veins" by Massive Ego

a-ha are still masters of this art

"Oranges on Apple Trees" by a-ha

and then there's


"Beautiful Loser" by William Control

I've already posted this in some other threads recently but it fits in here, so...


Solid Space - Space Museum (1982)

Rather obscure, early 80's synth-pop with a low-budget, home demo sound. I'd guess it probably was actually recorded at home.

Not a bad track on the album.

Gary Numan and Tubeway Army were okay for a while. Numan had a huge hit with Cars in the US

^ I was just about to post something by Gary Numan. He's still making albums and touring to this day. I think his newer stuff is some of the best he's ever done.

One of his early hits re-worked live in 2014...


Gary Numan 'Are Friends Electric ' Basement Sessions
