Bands like New Order? What are some good 80's synthpop/new wave bands? My fav album from them is Brotherhood

Depeche Mode, of course.
>>60602793
what did you think of the new album
>>60602793
Severed Heads - Rotund for Success
>>60602793
Metronomy
Kraftwerk
>>60602937
not op but I thought it was pretty good. plenty of replayability
>>60602793
try also Ladytron
>>60604325
nope, what? not similar to new order or not as good as new order?
>>60604295
that's one of the most 80s album covers i've ever seen

OP asked for good 80s synthpop or new wave acts. Only applicable band of the bunch is Depeche Mode but they're pretty cringe IMO.

>Depeche Mode but they're pretty cringe
Maybe their earlier stuff. But try anything since A Great Reward and you'll see the difference.

Can't believe that no ones mentioned the GOAT synthpop group, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
>>60604855
Mentioned already (as OMD) >>60604543 Great group, but not quite on the same level as Kraftwerk or Depeche Mode.
>>60604898
didnt notice that,
i can understand that you would rate kraftwerk over omd tho. they're bretty gud aswell

This is my favourite synthpop track, but if you like the 80's sound, don't be afraid to check out stuff like tears for fears or daryl hall and john oates.
>>60604977
It's a pleasant song, but I prefer more energetic synthpop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTTwlAT_AwU
>>60604476
You right, I'm just being a dick. In that case, avoid Metronomy. They are a decent group but are more alternative dance than anything.
>>60604977
Souvenir is by far the best thing OMD ever did, such a great song. Dazzle Ships is pretty underrated too IMO
A Flock of Seagulls
>>60602793
if you like jangly new order more than synthy new order
pauline murray and the invisible girls
their s/t was produced by martin hannett
>>60607599
cont.
they seem to have predated the musical style the smiths would later pursue
Carmody - A Better Spider.
Go check it out, a bit more dark-wave than New Order though
