My all time favorite is the French synthesizer artist
Jean Michel Jarre, not everybody's cup of tea, I realize, but
check it out
anyway.
More synthesizers, but infinitely more danceable music than Jean
Michel Jarre can be found on the
Pet Shop Boys homepage.
Go one step beyond on the small, but only
Madness webpage.
Another Eighties band which is sorely missed by me and many
others is
The Police
His death was tragic, but the music of
Queen
will live on forever.
