It's always a good time for sarcasm. :D This is one of my favourite 80's synth-pop songs. Aviador Dro (the "Spanish Kraftwerk"): Nuclear sí ("Nuclear Yes", 1982).

"The Sun Always Shines on TV" by A-ha has to be the best Synth-pop song ever! I am a big fan of the band and Morten Harket had a fantastic vocal range.

They used to my favourite band to an unhealthy degree in that I barely touched many other band's work. Looking back they had two fairly alright and solid pop-rock albums in True and Parade, two pretty inconsistent New Romantic synth pop albums and one absolute turd. (Through the Barricades) But as you said they have a pretty good collection of singles.

just got the rest of Ultravox and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's albums that I don't already have

of coz i ain't touching the non-John Foxx and non-Midge Ure Ultravoxes
