Another 80s synth pop / New Wave thread

[Falconkick]

Here we are. Needed to lighten up my mood so figure Id get the Mayberry to roll an 80s synth gauntlet.

Starting with this gem I have not heard in years.



These boys from Melbourne also helped out on Friday the 13th part 5 with the classic "His eyes"



Lets hear some more golden 80s synth tunes. Very interested too hear fans of the genre on Listening, such a good tune!!

Cool thread, TS! I love the songs in your OP, and love that style in general.




Does this count as synth? I'm not even sure.

Talking Heads are so good. Keep it coming people!! ❤ also you are the man glad you dug the tunes. Listening is a banger, I haven't heard it in years its blowing my mind all over again

Was there a reason for why synth music was so popular in the 80s, a fascination with new tech? Home PCs were becoming mainstream at that time.

Yeah, not really my genre exactly, but on Sundays, a handful of years back, I used to listen to a station, on the way to work, that plays throwback '80s songs.

I'm actually more of a '90s and such hiphop type first (who likes a pretty eclectic mix of stuff otherwise) - which is why



I was never here
