One of my favorite bands. I preferred their earliest stuff (especially their first album. "Sister Europe" is a gorgeous tune.) but I have never not liked any song they put out. I never really considered Richard Butler to be a great singer..but for some reason, when he sings, I just really enjoy listening to it, regardless of the tune. Besides the bands reccommended, I would add The Smiths, (early) The Cure, Dragon, OMD, and perhaps even Ultravox (not the same sort of music..the Furs were not Synth but Midge Ure has a very good voice). Room Nine as well.
