The 80s spawned some great synthpop albums. Even if the synthesizer had started to creep into pop music in the late 70s, the new decade saw the rise of some incredible acts that took this relatively new instrument in as the basis of their sound.

In no particular order, here are 10 albums that has meant a lot to me and inspired me to make my own music within the same soundscape:

The Human League - "Dare".

Growing up I listened to so much synth-pop and it's only natural that my own music takes inspiration from many of the acts I loved back then. I still love them and listen to them!

Howard Jones, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Erasure, Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, The Human League, Propaganda. FGTH, Ultravox, OMD, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Jan Hammer, Alphaville, A-ha as well as loads of artists doing what is now called Italo Disco. And many more great acts like Nik Kershaw, Spandau Ballet, Wham, Dire Straits ++
