while I love TTD, delicate is not one of the best synth lines ever. it's too repetitive, IMO.

Pink N Blue- Andre3000
Blinded me with science- Thomas Dolby
Moloko- Fun For me
Don't stop the music-Yarbrough & People
Junie Morrisson- Seaman First class (Jock Rock)

Oh yeah not Prince.

Notice most of these songs listed above came from the 80's?

We gotta bring back some killer synth lines back into 2days music!

This is a really fun topic.All your entries bring back very warm memories.I'll think of more,but I was drinking all night.How about Betty Davis Eyes?

I totally agree. If I were a musician, I'd absolutely be all over a revisit of this sound.

I love the 80s! Duran Duran inspired me to write music. People tell me my music sounds like 80s music, probably because I mainly use synths and vocals. When I get a band together, I'd like to have real drums, bass and guitar, but the synth STAYS!
