I voted for a-ha even though I don't consider them a synth band since they've always had acoustic instruments as well. They're my number one band. They're certainly no synthband since after 1990.

The best real synthband except Alphaville would be Erasure I think.

Cassiel, they are on the list - vote on "Other (please post)" and write Alan Parsons Project.

Impossible to name them all in 1 poll.

Anyway, I wouldn´t call them a synthband either.

We discussed this and agreed that a-ha were a synthband in the 80s. The poll is about synthbands in the 80s....not the 90s or 00s. A band like Depeche Mode isn't really a synthband either anymore....in my opinion anyway.

I am surprised about the few votes for Depeche Mode !!
I thought they would win this competition and have at least double votes compared to number two on the list.

DM of course.
They had the most hits of all.

What Kraftwerk did in the 80s was not much and certainly not that pioneerishly as in the
second half of the 70s.
Human League were big pioneers, especially in 1980 when they released "Travelogue", still
not enough.
Anyway...don't care about categories like synthpop anyway though.
