Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others..

the Church-Blurred crusade-A great lp by one of the most criminally underated band of the 80s...they flirted with the bigtime years later on "starfish"...nice clean production as well...

Real Life-Heartland-a lost synth pop classic from another Aussie band....

Thomas Dolby...first two lps....

The Woodentops....any lp...

Close Lobsters...Foxtails....

I thought I was the only one who knew about the Woodentops! A real influence on much of what came out of the next decade. Dolby's LPs were fantastic.

Let's not forget these other 80s synth-pop kings:

Wang Chung
Naked Eyes
Re-Flex
The Cars / Ric Ocasek
ABC
Lene Lovich
Howard Jones
Peter Godwin

and plenty I can't think of right now!

Macdadtexas,

I have 5 copies of the Producers self titled album...the cover with the directors chairs...a fantastic pop record beginning to end!
The CD has 2 albums on one CD and is way out of print (I can't find another copy anywhere).

Cajun Pepe-Mon Frere, I have a terrible copy of that album on vinyl, only at this point. Can't find my CD copy, bought in the 90's, to rip to digital.

I do however to my great delight, have a PRISTINE vinyl copy of You Make the Heat, that gets played regularly.

Why did that band never get bigger? I hear they still play gigs in Atlanta.

I just picked up Ultravox's "The Collection" from '84 -- nice. I also dig New Order.
