Ladytron, the band, has almost single-handedly brought the synthesizer (keysynth) back to center stage. Thank you, mates! Looking forward to Velocifero!
The same could be said of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round". Like I said, if you're talking about the 80's, everybody was using synthesizers. If you're talking about the 70's, you're not really talking about a band that has *brought back* synthesizer. If anything, New Order kept synthesizer going when bands began to look to other things. Probably no way to win this debate. Too bad you weren't a teenager in the 80's. A really great variety of music during that decade.
Lots more than that! The whole "New Wave" was marked by synthesized music. And not just the New Wave. You're only 21. What do you know about it? I was a teenager in that decade. And what about early-mid 90's dance music? All synthesizer.
Joy Division and New Order don't get credit for making synthesizers acceptable. Everybody was using synthesizers in the 80's. If anything, DEVO should get the credit. They were in business in the late 70's.
i don't think any of those bands have a whole lot to do with this particular sound. unlike those mentioned the sounds they created on 604 and light & magic were much more analogue-y and closer to the experimental sounds you heard by bands of the 60's and early 70's . and you know if you're going to praise pioneers you really need to take a look at joe meek,the united states of america and suicide. these bands and artists were already revolutionising synths before any of those mentioned.
Is anyone else obsessed with these old ladytron videos? I am!

Saw them supporting goldfrapp in 2006. Thought the speakers and synths were going to explode when they did this. So good
The best! I love you all!

I'll accept Eno, but now we're back in the 70's and not talking about the 80's.
Just noticed how badly the sun was in their eyes.
Personally, I dunno why this one gets played more than "The Way That I Found You".

Synthesizers were still "in" during the 80's.
Any video where I can see Helen and Mira is fine by me.
