I'm starting to get into 80's synthpop stuff like Depeche Mode and New Order, and I'd like to go further. Recommendations?

Heaven 17 - Recommended Songs: Penthouse and Pavement, We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thing, We Live So Fast, Let Me Go

Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - Recommended Songs: Bombers, Cars, Down in the Park, Are "Friends" Electric?, Me! I Disconnect From You

Sparks - Recommended Songs: Mickey Mouse, Upstairs, Angst in My Pants, Cool Places, Tips for Teens, All You Ever Think About Is Sex

Yaz - Recommended Songs: State Farm, Don't Go, Winter Kills, Situation, Midnight

Erasure (Warning: Erasure is quite possibly the cheesiest band to ever exist outside the power metal sub-genre; you have been forewarned) - Recommended Songs: Oh L'Amour, Star, Chorus, Who Needs Love Like That, Love To Hate You

Hope this helps! Most of these songs can be found on Youtube.

awesome! i somehow missed AC's post (i can't express how hungover i am after last night), and those are some great picks.

AC, also check these bands out that i recommended to instantdeath when he asked about new wave... it's not all synthpop, but i think you'll find it still tickles a similar bone...

sparks (sound familiar?), the flying lizards, XTC, split enz, the sound, prefab sprout, the boomtown rats, the teardrop explodes, OMD

[schmeankman]

love, the turtles, the left banke, kaleidoscope, os mutantes, the millenium, chocolate watch band, the association, chamaeleon church, the free design, tomorrow, and the lemon pipers.

Y thank u.

[Alright_Computer]

Thanks to both of you. I'm not exclusively looking for synthpop, so I'll definitely check out afterstasis's recommendations as well as Runesmith's.

Alright I went through them all.

Battles wasn't too bad, I wouldn't mind looking more up by them.

Dol Ammad has a solid sound but I didn't particularly like that songs as well as the others.

Kaddisfly is along the same line of Battles.

Karnataka was great, it's a different take on progressive rock then I am use to but it was a cool song. Magenta was awesome, both of these female fronted bands were good. I haven't heard a lot of progressive rock with female vocals really(besides Renaissance), so it's a nice change from the norm.

Now that I think about it, I've heard of Orphaned Land, Nevermore, and Battles(from you) before hand. Nevermore was solid and Orphaned Land was decent too.

Thanks for putting up the video samples, even if they weren't the best that you wanted.

I'm curious about glam rock. David Bowie and now Semi-Precious Weapons got me curious about the genre. Other recommendations?

sweet, t.rex, slade, wizzard, mud, gary glitter, and later shudder to think (though not really glam rock it's definitely got a similar vibe, and were one of my last hopes for quality music of that sort).

[SevinWoohoo]

Does anyone know any bands similar to Gogol Bordello?

Would Hanoi Rocks count as glam rock, too?
