80s quintessential synth

Some synth-laden/electronica songs from the 80s that were iconic (meaning that I really really liked them).

SAGA - On The Loose



Thomas Dolby - One Of Our Submarines


Howard Jones - Hide & Seek (Long Version)


Real Life - Send Me An Angel


Gary Numan - Down in the Park (A live version from just a few years ago)


A Flock Of Seagulls - Quicksand


Depeche Mode - Fly on the Windscreen


Kim Wilde - Chequered Love


Ultravox - Hymn


Devo - Beautiful World


The B-52s - Quiche Lorraine


Yazoo - Don't Go


Herbie Hancock - Junku


Feel free to add to the list, 'cause Lord knows I probably missed a few dozen!
