A Dozen Favorite Synth Pop Duos

(in order of preference)

 

  1. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (sample track)

  2. Yaz (sample track)

  3. Erasure (sample track)

  4. Naked Eyes (sample track)

  5. Eurythmics (sample track)

  6. The Postal Service (sample track)

  7. Soft Cell (sample track)

  8. John Foxx and Louis Gordon (sample track)

  9. The Bird and the Bee (sample track)

  10. Unison (sample track)

  11. Pet Shop Boys (sample track)

  12. Purity Ring (sample track)

    Note: I think highly of Tears for Fears, but their first album aside, I hear them as a rock band with accompanying synthesizers rather than a synth pop band, and I think the Thompson Twins are underrated, but they were better in their very early eight-piece band days or as a trio than they were later on as a duo.
