Is synthpop the absolute best genre of music? You can dance to it, wallow in pity while drunk to it, have sex to it, drive to it, and have introspective thoughts to it.

Also, best New Order album right here

if by best you mean worst, then yes.

but in all honesty, the only good synthpop is the cold, gothic shit like what you posted. anything else is trite garbage.

depeche mode ftw

iamamiwhoami ftw

best new order is brotherhood

I don't know how anyone could hate synthpop, it's the best pop imo

used to think this was their best but realised power, corruption and lies and low life are better

That album is shit aside from a few tracks mainly because half the album is watered-down Post-Punk/Britpop

How is it watered down? It's neither of those things so I'm not even sure what that means

This is real Post-Punk
youtube.com/watch?v=9qgFGqJz9yc

This is shit
youtube.com/watch?v=c_QlZ_qhGUA

New Order isn't trying to be Post punk, it's a false comparison. I personally liked New Order way more than Joy Division for what they were.

It's one of the only genres that can convey cheesy happy times and cheesy depressing times

Still, I think all of the non-synthpop tracks on Technique are boring.

> best New Order album

Not even close

I just love the really cheesy drum sounds you get on a lot of synthpop records. Just fantastic.

Both are awesome but New Order never did anything remotely as good as Unknown Pleasure, none of their albums come close

youtube.com/watch?v=mW9ImnTL2jk

Never heard of synthpop
I'm usually not a melomaniac fag, but a curious fag
What albums should i listen to ?

did somebody say..
synthpop?
youtube.com/watch?v=JtH68PJIQLE

Get that crud outta here, she's not even cute for having crap music.

>New Order never made an album about being a sad virgin so they aren't as good

The second track is much better than the first

stay in your containment thread pls

this is the reason why i hate synthpop

OMD is the best synthpop group of all time

youtube.com/watch?v=d5XJ2GiR6Bo

Lol you can do the same with rock music

this is 80s af

Name fucking one awful song of theirs. You can't. You just can't. Don't even fucking try. You can't. You won't. Because you can't. There isn't. Because you fucking can't.

>posting Ultravox
Look where that led me.


youtu.be/vkWOBW7GA54

It is literally from 1980, so you are right.

You're right, user.

Ladytron ftw.

Stop comparing 2 legit great genres. Both songs are great. Period.

I personally like some of New Order's post punk-ish songs like Ceremony and Age of Consent better than most of Joy Division's music.

but Ceremony is a Joy Division song.

Not even close. Movement is undercooked (the first track is exceptional tho). The real best New Order album is the compilation Substance.

old stuff:
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
Gary Numan - Pleasure Principle
OMD - Architecture and Morality
The Human League - Dare
Pet Shop Boys - Introspective
New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies

new stuff:
The Knife - Silent Shout
Goldfrapp - Supernature
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Ladytron - Witching Hour
Royksopp - The Understanding
Grimes - Visions

entry level af lol

>Grimes - Visions
go.

By the way, I forgot to add Depeche Mode - Violator here >entry level af lol
And you're an autist. This dude never heard of synthpop, so of course he should listen to entry level synthpop first. And what you call entry level is actually the best synthpop. And finally, entry level =/= bad.

>And you're an autist. This dude never heard of synthpop, so of course he should listen to entry level synthpop first. And what you call entry level is actually the best synthpop. And finally, entry level =/= bad.

stay pleb

>autists hating legit awesome music
Your loss.

You're the autist for not comprehending why people don't like shit music.

Before stopping talking to a mouthbreather like you, post your "patrician" list, if these awesome albums are pleb to you.

Thanks a lot

You're welcome. Don't forget about Depeche Mode - Violator, that album is utter perfection.

Substance > UP. Yes, it's a compilation, but those singles weren't part of their albums with few exceptions.

No shit, moron

I'd recommend Singles, has the superior version of Ceremony

Music's quality isn't determined by the number of things you can do while listening to it. Really, you could do any of those things listening to anything. And no, that's not the best New Order album. Still damn good though.

this guy gets it

Here's Depeche Mode's worst music video

youtube.com/watch?v=1t-gK-9EIq4

Here's New Order's worst music video

youtube.com/watch?v=mfI1S0PKJR8

Here's OMD's worst music video

youtube.com/watch?v=EtYre1GABao

Singles has the 7" versions of their singles. If you prefer longer songs, pick Substance. But ofc Singles is more complete.

One of the best New Order songs, Regret: youtube.com/watch?v=71ZHVmSuBJM

And the slightly underrated Crystal: youtube.com/watch?v=eH-GzcgZj48

>Here's Depeche Mode's worst music video
>Everything Counts
What about Leave in Silence or The Meaning of Love or See You? Everything Counts is a fantastic song with a decent (for that time) video.

Red Frame/White Light
Locomotion
We Love You
Julia's Song
about half of Sugar Tax is awful
Liberator and Universal are terrible

And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Those videos are all fun though.

Everything Counts has that awkward zoom in of the 3 members doing the chorus. I just hate it.

Yes, OMD weren't exactly consistent. The best original synthpop bands were:
Kraftwerk
Depeche Mode
New Order
Pet Shop Boys

did anybody like Lost Sirens? i didn't find it particularly amazing but the first two tracks are somewhat decent

youtube.com/watch?v=4nM4o5-g_z8

>Those videos are all fun though.
Agree. Esp. True Faith is not a bad video by any measure.

>Everything Counts has that awkward zoom in of the 3 members doing the chorus. I just hate it.
The worst part. The rest of the video is much better. '80s was a strange decade.

Hellbent is the best thing from those WFTSC B-sides.

Synthpop is electronic music with soul.

youtube.com/watch?v=gzfaJRDfveo

I actually didn't know that, neat


Forgot to say, Pleasure Principle is one of my favorites, the synth is so raw and awesome. And although I don't like Pet Shop Boys much, Introspective is pretty good.

and Depeche Mode's best music video

youtube.com/watch?v=5YUlMuMLD7A

and New Order's best music video

youtube.com/watch?v=tkOr12AQpnU

and OMD's best music video

youtube.com/watch?v=d5XJ2GiR6Bo

>Bizarre Love Triangle
best single

>Pleasure Principle is one of my favorites, the synth is so raw and awesome.
Did you listen to Tubeway Army's 2 albums? Tubeway Army was Gary Numan's band and they sounded almost the same as on Pleasure Principle.

I just now realized that Martin Gore and Vince Clarke are different dudes.

It makes total sense now why the album Speak and Spell sounds so different from everything else DM put out.

Yes, Replicas is also great. I haven't heard it as much though, Pleasure Principle really hooked me so I've neglected his other works since. I need to give it some more attention.

great taste OP

Extremely underrated

youtube.com/watch?v=R3EK02lhMnE

Yeah... Vince also went on to do Yazz/Yazoo and then Erasure with his lover Andy Bell.

Is cut copy the only good modern synthpop band?

Hot Chip is the best modern synthpop band. Anyone who has heard One Life Stand cannot refute this.
youtube.com/watch?v=omV-JqtpTps

Hot Chip are underrated tbqh
Saw them before Christmas and they were awesome

>not posting based age love song
The best a flock of seagulls song

Yeah, that one's great too. The whole album is, actually.

youtube.com/watch?v=vKFjD28qPwQ

Pretty good, but why does he sound like Morrissey whispersinging backwards?

Don't any other song by them than I Ran So Far Away, but I love it.

New Orders best music video is perfect kiss tho

>satanic trips confirm it

I come in here and the first reply is a post that claims Technique is "cold" "gothic" "shit". How can you people be so full of crap?
