They get my vote for those albums.

They are not winning here because they are usually loved on PA for their experimental work. 

I'm surprised and disappointed to see The Human League has only picked up one vote so far (from me). Cry

I love this song, recorded back in the days when Phil Oakey used to have a full head of hair. Smile

I'm Dancing with Tears in My Eyes now that Ultravox has finally drawn level with Talk Talk. Thumbs Up

Yes, it's an interesting Situation, so Don't Go away, as I have a Yazoo video for Only You. Smile

I didn't expect you to thank me for posting these famous songs (which is just as well), but it really doesn't matter if you've heard these Synth Pop classics a hundred times before, as they still sound great over forty years on, and anyway, it's better than posting them on a Top 7 YES albums thread. Tongue

yeah, but it's rather redundant posting the videos. You can just list the song titles, makes more sense to me. These songs are so famous, no videos are necessary here if you ask me.

Voted Soft Cell, if only for the song Tainted Love. 

Everyone make sure to check out Coil's cover version of it, preferably the music video. 

edit: silly me, Soft Cell's version is already a cover of Gloria Jones song.

Hardly redundant. It's so long ago since I saw some of these classic Synth Pop videos that it's almost like seeing them for the first time again. Smile

You're probably right. I may be flogging a dead horse in trying to revive an appreciation of 80's Synth-Pop on a Prog-Rock website. Tongue

^^ has it dawned on either of you, that you sound like an old married couple on a park bench, where the superficial squabbling is underpinned by a deep affection formed over a number of years living in close proximity.... LOL

it's funny and strange in the same time how my interaction with Paul is no good, whether we argue or we're kind to each other. Ouch

Yes, it has been said before, and there's more than an element of truth in that insightful observation too. Tongue

Here is what you said to me in one of our discussions, Cristi. "I never like to argue with anyone. 
Let's just stay away from each other." Why can't you do that with Paul?

I thought you and me were supposed to stay away from each other. 

As for me and Paul, we're getting along just fine, despite our differences. I can't stay away from Paul, he'll miss me and then, what? LOL
