80's Synth Pop

I need reccomendations. Anything happy, upbeat, and synthy, I want it reccomended. 80's only, cause it doesn't have the same feeling without the nostalgia tickin' my music muscle.

 

Please and thank you.

Orchestral Movements in the Dark (OMD) is pretty good, sounds like just what you're looking for. Also, you've most likely heard of New Order and Depeche Mode. Those are the obvious suggestions.

Erasure, Duran Duran. Echo And The Bunnymen, Joy Division (not to upbeat), INXS, Midnight Oil, A-Ha, Wang Chung (decent but not great), Thomas Dolby, The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys.

 

And more..

I'm very fortunate that a local radio station has 80's night every friday and saturday. I'll try and pay better attention for more ideas.

The Smiths aren't synth-pop in the slightest, nor are they really that upbeat. They are worth listening to, though. Listen to the Human League if you want 80's synth pop, they're pretty upbeat.

Depeche Mode

 

Tears For Fears

 

Duran Duran

 

 

You need no other names. Those are some of the best.

Uhh...

 

Have you listened to...

 

This Charming Man

Panic

How Soon Is Now?

Sheila Take A Bow

Still Ill

 

...lately? Not all their songs are upbeat, but many are. Sure, they have a lot of 'downer' lyrics, but that doesn't make the song downbeat. Listen to the music. It gets you toe-tapping.

Reincarnated

She blinded me with science by Thomas Dolby is pretty funny/good. Hmm.. there was a lot in that era though. Check out a top 10 list or something Shifty41s_beerhatsmilie2.gif
