Obviously we can´t have all the bands in the world listed, that´s why there´s "other", where everyone can post another band they prefer over the above.

I voted Depeche Mode of course...

I would have voted for De/Vision or 18 Summers but I had to vote 'other'...I don't like those eighties bands!

I voted for OMD. I´m sure that the great band "Other" is gonna win this comfortably though :-)

Jonatan

31 Dec 2002, 15:21

Yeah Other has released so many great records and won so many awards!!

hardin

31 Dec 2002, 15:25

Kraftwerk
Jean Michel Jarre
Ultravox...

the answer will be "other"

31 Dec 2002, 15:39

I would think that DM would beat Other, but we´ll see...

Adiville

31 Dec 2002, 15:45

I voted for DM but i would also have to say : Pet Shop Boys and Pink Floyd !

Avil

31 Dec 2002, 16:03

DM is not even on my top 5.
I voted Other which would be either Dust of basement or Red Flag

Alien

31 Dec 2002, 17:12

I voted Duran Duran of course. [smile2]

I could have voted a-ha, but it would have only been a half-truth. I could mention also: BeeGees, Ultravox, Deep Purple, Foreigner, Herbert Grönemeyer or Red Hot Chilly Peppers. So I chose "other" (hey Russ, I am sure such a band exists).

Never heard the Bee Gees synth pop stuff...or that of Deep Purple, Foreigner and RHCP. Pedantic moi? Sorry :-) and hi all!

I picked "Other" category... Is there anyone on this forum who may like Tarkan?...[shy]

Mags

02 Apr 2003, 11:39

I voted for "other", which would be Erasure!!! Alphaville and Erasure might be the only two bands that I have adored since the eighties, and still love. Bernhard...Vince...[love2] the synths.

boblinda

03 Apr 2003, 04:47

You make it tough Willy, because I like them all, and have all their CD's....hard choice...put I guess it should be Pet Shop Boys....

Phoenix

22 Apr 2003, 06:31

I voted for A-ha though the last two albums of the group are rather colorless...But I love their earlier stuff...The Sun Always Shines On TV is one of the greatest songs of that period, to my mind.

Couldnt agree more, Sparks are my childhood heroes and remain my favourite to this day so they get my vote! AV fans might like their ''No. 1 In Heaven'' album which is possibly the first synth pop album ever and also the ''Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins'' and ''Balls'' albums will probably be of interest. The last album ''Lil Beethoven'' sounds like nothing else ever made as is a must hear!

JaJaJa

14 Jan 2004, 14:12

Sparks are damn cool. *sighs* There´s so much to recommend... A proper conditioning drug
might be "Plagiarism" , which is some kind of tribute album to themselves.

simpledumbpilot

14 Jan 2004, 14:35

Agreed, Plagiarism is a very good starting point, it has a bit of everything altho I dont think it represents the guitar based stuff very well, and I dont like those collaborations with Faith No More but I think people here would probably be more interested in the synth stuff tho.

Joker

14 Jan 2004, 20:05

... voted for other...

it's Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Texas and many more ...

Kaz

14 Jan 2004, 22:48

17 Jan 2004, 22:17

Duran Duran at the moment. I've been a new A-ha fan for a whole week and a half, though.

Rammstein isn't an option in the quiz, though! *blink*

Icelin

25 Jan 2004, 21:29

De/Vision!!!

My taste in music varies. I could be listening to AV one day, something harder the next.

My favorite all-around is Van Halen. As far as which era (David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, whoever...), it doesn't matter to me, so long as the music still kicks!

Loralai

30 Dec 2008, 07:35

This is a difficult choice. I listen to just about everything but if I were stuck on a desert Island and had music from only two bands to choose the other choice would be Queen. Of course I would sneak in Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.

davidhorizon

30 Dec 2008, 11:31

Mylene Farmer at the moment. Before it was Ultravox.

Richani

30 Dec 2008, 13:22

"other" because I love Ultravox..

Mateusz

30 Dec 2008, 15:02

other, because i like more than one band.. From this list for me are: DM, OMD, A-HA and that's all

TheMoonBoy

31 Dec 2008, 02:29

Selvføljelig er det a-ha! (of course it's a-ha)

lorenzo

01 Feb 2009, 01:52

My other favourite band is A-ha ,but i listen a lot of songs of depeche mode , erasure and duran duran.[wink]

I have liked a band called Shriekback for a long time and they also continue to record after starting in the early 80's like Alphaville. They probably have a more obscure fanbase than Alphaville.

Foolship1077

12 Feb 2009, 22:26

I just started hearing Shriekback's stuff recently, thanks to the XM Radio station.

They call it "1st Wave" now; it used to be "Fred on 44" up to the time they merged with Sirius.

Anyway, they do have some good stuff!

TheBlue

13 Feb 2009, 22:54

I almost chose PSB, since it's band I like from the list (especially Fundamental is great), but there is one band that is definetely second best after AV and that is Dire Straits. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it before [smile2] World is full of great bands, but AV and DS are definetely the best, since I like almost all of their songs, not just one or two.

Sappy

01 Oct 2009, 08:29

I'm a hardcore collector of stuff with and connected to The Beloved.....I do also collect Depeche Mode, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys and Yazoo......Alphaville have made so many great tracks though I've never collected all their releases but few singles and albums.

lorenzo

03 Oct 2009, 19:15

Duran Duran and Erasure.[smile2]

Ultravox i reckon

Marina Orchid

10 Oct 2009, 10:17

Hi, everybody! I can't say that I'm a fan of any other group also. I simply like some songs of this or that group. And this or that group can be of my interest and respect. I voted "others".
Alphaville is the true music of my inner world. It's a poetry! And the voice of Marian is the most pleasant suffering of mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
