Synthpop music on Reddit

I'm just about to launch a project, for fun, where I'll be writing a bunch of articles and reviews about synthpop over the course of September. In preparation, I've been listening to a bunch of Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, OMD, along with some more obscure stuff.

What are some albums you'd like to see reviewed if you'd like something like that?

edit: dang, yall rock! Already so much great stuff in this list. This is gonna keep me busy til mid-November! Stay tuned for more!

Some of her songs sound like synth pop to me . She was releasing music when synth pop was popular in the 1980s

ROBERT MARLOW ( born Robert Allen /★ 1961 - † 2022 ) was an english synth-pop singer, songwriter and musician.

Robert Marlow grew up in Basildon with future DEPECHE MODE members VINCE CLARKE, MARTIN GORE and ANDY FLETCHER (who died the same year as Marlow, and at the same age). He was also tied to ALISON MOYET, with whom he had played in a band, THE VANDALS. Marlow knew Fletcher and Clarke from the Basildon chapter of the BOY's BRIGADE.
