I'm not really into 80s synthpop but I like this one:

I like it mainly because Alison Moyet sings on it, I like her voice.

DaforiusMarvelous

[@1114676,HairbrushDiva] I love yahoo as well…such a great band.

Oneofthestormboys · 51-55, M

[@1114676,HairbrushDiva] I’ve seen her live twice - once with Yazoo in the 80s, and then completely by surprise a couple of years ago as she was supporting Tears For Fears. She was bloody good both times.

HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F

[@477979,Oneofthestormboys] I don't care much for Tears For Fears.

I Ham by a Flock of Hamgulls.

Ladystarlight25 · 51-55, F

I'm going to go with Planet Earth by Duran Duran 🎼🎹🎵🎶

Oneofthestormboys · 51-55, M

[@1157717,Ladystarlight25] Oh I remember that one!
They were the band that all the girls loved, but they were a proper band who could play live. Ah we lived in a great era for music for sure!

Ladystarlight25 · 51-55, F

[@477979,Oneofthestormboys] Posters of them covered my wall. I really had it bad for the drummer 🥁😍😂 I never did manage to convince my rocker brother that they were a real band.

Has to be Depeche Mode, though I like their 90s stuff better. From the late 80s onwards, they went in a rock tinged goth direction. But much better that the actual goth bands:

Here’s one for the Dolby fans - cracking track, and little bits of Eddie Van Halen on guitar as well! This one’s a really groovy one...[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SSAqXKPZns]
