Best 80's Synth Pop Duo?

Wang Chung · Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2006 2:15 am Post subject: Best 80's Synth Pop Duo?

Read this before you vote unless you know the bands pretty well.

1. Wang Chung

Members: Singer Jack Hues, bassist Nick Feldman, and drummer Darrel Costin
Hits: Everybody Have Fun Tonight, Dance Hall Days
Info: Jack Hues is kind of scary looking...

2. Hall and Oates

Members: Singer Daryl Hall, guitarist John Oates
Hits: Out of Touch, Man Eater
Info: From wikipedia -

Quote:

They are best known for hits like "Sara Smile", "Out of Touch," "Private Eyes," "Maneater," "Rich Girl," "She's Gone," "Kiss on My List," "Say It Isn't So" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)."

The duo recorded over a dozen top forty hits in addition to the songs already listed. They last reached the pop top forty in 1990 and the two slowly faded from public view, although they did not formally break up. They have continued to record and tour with some success. In total the act scored thirty-four hit singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. As of 2006, Hall and Oates have seven RIAA platinum albums along with six RIAA gold albums.

That about takes the cake....

3. Tears for Fears

Members: Singer/Dude Curt Smith, Guitarist Roland Orzabal
Hits: Everybody Wants to Rule the World, SHOUT (let it all out)
Info: Two popular songs, probably the creepiest of the group.

4. Naked Eyes

Members: Singer Pete Byrne, other guy Rob Fisher
Hits: Always Something There to Remind Me
Info: The dark horse candidate, but a very important group.

Let me know if you have any additions. I'll have some song samples in a bit.[/quote]

"And my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears, and I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom"

Jesus, everyone really likes Tears for Fears. I'm shocked no one voted Hall and Oates.
