Top Five Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Albums

(They peaked early, which is the only reason that finest-synth-pop-band-of-the-80s laurels are usually bestowed on New Order or Depeche Mode instead. Here, in order of preference, are the five OMD albums I like best.)

 

  1. Architecture and Morality (1981)

  2. Organisation (1980)

  3. Dazzle Ships (1983)

  4. Live with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (2018)

  5. English Electric (2013)
