Best of 80s synth pop

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. I absolutely love synth pop, so I'll repeat what I posted in the new wave thread, 'cause these are such great songs: Visage and Gary Numan

But I'll add something more: Soft Cell

My favorite electro pop is the one with a more raw sound and a punk immediacy like Fad Gadget and those German EBM bands like DAF and early Die Krupps

But, my absolute favorite I discovered recently: a New York minimal synth band Dark Day led by Robin Crutchfield, ex-DNA member (of No Wave scene). A catchy, hypnotic quality - what more can you ask from a synth band. These two songs below are from Exterminating Angel (1980)
