Cheers chap. I was hoping to get their greatest hits cd for my birthday today so I could blast Saturn 5 out on my way to my kids football later but it hasn't arrived. So your upload thingy is much appreciated!

[Live by the sea]

OMD were one of the first successful keyboard bands, as well as Kraftework, and then followed by early depeche mode. Then of course Howard jones and nick kershaw

Visage, great call, a song that epitomises the music of the 80's.
How about Oxygene - Jean Michel Jarre.
Rick Wakeman with Yes and Wonderous Stories.

Much as I loved The Stranglers at the time, their main Unique Selling Proposition was patently the highly accomplished keyboards = entry-level punk for students and older brothers who never quite 'got' punk and who would far rather be listening to The Doors. They mainly loved The Stranglers because 'they could play their instruments'.

Yes there were some who were like that, but I very well reemember the summer of 77 in Brighton, going to 4 or 5 gigs a week, Alhambra, Basement, Vault, Poly, Top Rank, the odd trip up to London (Roxy, Vortex) and the Stranglers were very much part of the wallpaper. They were also one of the first to release an album (Damned, Clash, Stranglers) and I had RN on vurtual loop in the Spring of 77. Yes they were quite musical, but so were The Adverts and, once they learned how to play, the Banshees. And of course we loved Elvis Costello, a virtual Mozart. You didn't HAVE to be a one chord wonder to be acceptable...... and pretty soon there were musical post punk bands all over the place - Alternative TV, Wire, The Cure . . . . . the Stranglers had their place. Anyove see Cornwall playing in Brighton a few years ago? My brother took me for a birthday treat. He is still unapologetic about 'I feel like a wog' which very certainly upset a few black friends of minee back in the day. But I digress

Norwegian band Casiokids had a track out a few years back that should have won them awards.Have a listen to this and tell me I'm wrong.

Likewise, Fail Forever by Danish band When Saints Go Machine. Seriously good.

OK, so the keyboard part is mostly playing the bassline, but it's as iconic as they come and a personal favourite......
