Bananarama - I Heard a Rumour

Pure bubblegum pop, but very catchy and very musically complex...not sure there is anything organic on it (vocals included!)

second skin the chameleons u.f.orb the orb pearls girl underworld

Of course anything by New Order. The Perfect Kiss, BLT, True Faith, and Blue Monday, especially. The rectangle of godlike synth greatness.

Dissapointed, TT, Haze, Make it Happen by Electronic are also on that list.

God, so many Depeche Mode songs, and every Kraftwerk song. Some Orb.

"Its a Sin", "It's Alright", "West End Girls", "Heart", "Minimal", all by PSB are among the greatest.

There are a few Simple Minds tracks, notably some of the older tracks from Sparkle in the Rain and New Gold Dream.

"Hypnotic Tango" by My Mine. "Love Can't Turn Around" by Farley "Jackmaster Funk" and Jesse Saunders. "Papua New Guinea" by Future Sound of London

Of course Human League's "Mirror Man", "Lebabon", etc. Fischerspooner's "Emerge". "Let Me Go" and "Temptation" by Heaven 17. "To Look At You" and "Don't Change" by INXS. Very haunting synth lines.

God, there's so many to choose from.

My favorite synth song(s) of all-time would be a tie between TPK, BLT, True Faith, and Blue Monday, though. No doubt about that.

200 light years from home , moog played by brian jones, and strange days , moog played by ray manzarek, both1967. mickey dolenz acquired his moog before both the rolling stones and doors acquired theirs. waters ,wright and gilmour added their deftness soon after. and eno had a couple of ideas

Nobody has mentioned Hubert Kah yet. Many may say "it's just as well".

Decide for yourself:

And if that's not enough, here's an extended version of the English translation - the original vocals and lyrics were performed in German:

The fairlight was brilliant in the Propaganda album track The Murder Of Love. I used Trevor Horn's bassline on the Frankie's cover of War for my first reinterpretation of New Gold Dream in 2004.

Enjoy!

Actually, I do like "So many people" by Hubert Kah.

This classic from 1978
