alot of the synth-y 80s stuff is really dated now and i rarely listen to it, but the guitar-based brit bands still sound good to me--echo & the bunnymen, teardrop explodes, psychedelic furs, chameleons. more under the radar, and even better were comsat angels, the sound and sad lovers & giants
under the radio early 80s new wave....
Looking for lost gems from this era...like Gary Myrick, Felony, the Flirts,etc....
