<description><![CDATA[Musicians evolve at the risk of losing their audience -- fans always prefer known quantities to variables. David Bowie is one performer who's made a career out of defying rock convention so flagrantly and with such finesse that fans not only forgive him for it, they worship him. From the fey folk of his pre-<i>Space Oddity</i> days to the right-angled, martinet funk of "Fashion" and Tin Machine's bloated hard rock, Bowie's only constant has been his inconstancy. Considering his vast, diffuse output -- three dozen or so albums and counting -- you can hardly fault him for the occasional bit of slag, especially when there are more than enough nuggets to make all the panning worthwhile. At every career turn, Bowie has often sustained his flashes of brilliance -- <I>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust</I> and <I>Hunky Dory</I> are two examples among many. His Janus ability to perform with utter candor (as on "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and "Quicksand") and then, in the blink of an eye, don a mask and enter a role (witness the plastic soul of <i>Young Americans</i>) makes Bowie a living puzzle. We're still awaiting all the pieces.

<description><![CDATA[Duran Duran are largely responsible for bringing New Wave and New Romantic music to the mainstream. Taking their moniker from the film <i>Barbarella</i>, Duran Duran personified the 1980s by utilizing an exciting new concept called the music video. Anyone watching MTV back then was introduced to five English dandies from Birmingham who were jet-setting all over the globe.
Duran Duran's signature style of seductive pop music is rooted in Funk rhythms, crafty Pop arrangements, and Glam rock melodies. The band first broke with the serpentine hit "Is There Something I Should Know." Shortly before the video for the glamorous, Eno-influnced "Girls On Film" was released, Duran Duran became a front page phenomenon; but it was sexy hits such as "Hungry Like The Wolf" and "The Reflex" from <i>Seven and the Ragged Tiger</i> (1983) that made Duran Duran a household word -- especially in the homes where teenage girls resided.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With albums that reek of cigarettes, absinthe, and sex, Roxy Music helped shape the artier side of 1970s and '80s Punk with their incredibly rich (yet deliciously subversive) early albums. Their first four records, released between 1972-1974, are filled with intensely passionate, undeniably beautiful, and downright groundbreaking moments. The voice, face, and stylistic force behind Roxy was Bryan Ferry, chief songwriter and dapper vampire-about-town. Megaproducer and ambient pioneer Brian Eno was an original member. He appeared on the first two records, adding bubbly, noisy, and sometimes decidedly non-musical synth effects. With strange usage of keyboards, sax lines that ranged from atonal skronking to soulful R&B, and supple guitar playing that rivaled Mick Ronson, the band was a musical powerhouse. Ferry's love of pop melodies and his ability to croon, bellow, and vamp with such disarming power brought all these elements together. Roxy always varied from sleek, sexy pop to jagged rockers to swelling ballads, and the former won out by the time of <I>Siren</I> (1975), culminating in the lush, gorgeous music of <I>Avalon</I> (1982). They ended their career revealing just how intoxicating romance can be.

<description><![CDATA[Boy George's foppish fashion sense may have won Culture Club their exposure, but his soulful tenor was the real deal. Culture Club were linked with early '80s synth pop, but a quick re-listen to such hits as "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" demonstrate that at their core they were an ultraslick, Philly soul-fueled Pop band. Culture Club lost their footing when they tried to move away from soul into straight dance, and teens quickly got bored seeing a man dressed as a woman. Boy George's personal demons tore up the band and his solo career has been a spotty affair, careening from modern disco to proto-punk to folk pop. On the surface, the tart-tongued Boy may be the life of the party, but underneath lies a fine-tuned soul man.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the highlights of British Synth Pop is in fact not simple synthesizer melodies, but attention to vocal harmonies. This is especially true for the Human League. The charm of their first hit, 1981's "Don't You Want Me," lies mostly in its unforgettable, highly emotional narrative delivered through deadpan vocals that harmonize like the Beach Boys. Even when the subject matter was desperate, their male and female vocal exchanges always maintained either a New Romantic cool or the emotional distance of a Godard character. But this is not to give their instrumentation short shrift: at their peak, their driving basslines, post-Disco beats and keyboard symphonics were unmatched and a perfect match for their vocal depth.

<description><![CDATA[It's hard to say which had more of an impact, the single "Take On Me" or its accompanying video. Either way, a-ha's spot in the pantheon of 1980s bubblegum Synth Pop is guaranteed. Composed of an electronic bass-pulse, a clattering drum sound and singer Morten Harket's near-yodel falsetto, the Norwegian trio's sound has 1985 written all over it. Subsequent forays into smooth, adult-oriented love-pop proved unsuccessful in the U.S. and they sank into obscurity. Nevertheless, the band is featured on virtually any collection that has the words "'80s" and "Hits" in the title, and their ebullient, strangely European pop will forever remain just under the surface of the public consciousness.

<description><![CDATA[These '80s rock mavens descended on the New Wave scene like pigeons on popcorn -- they came to clean up, and clean up they did. On the strength of a single hit, "I Ran," the Gulls epitomized all that was right about floppy hair and dizzy, layered synthesizers. Fortunately for the nostalgic, the band hasn't flown the coop: a truncated version of the original band continues to perform their rhythmic dance/rock, complete with soaring electric guitars and their trademark synths.

<description><![CDATA[One of the earliest and most successful synth pop groups, Soft Cell first burst onto the early '80s electro dance scene with such hits as "Tainted Love," "Memorabilia" and "Sex Dwarf." Made up of singer/songwriter Marc Almond and producer Dave Ball, the duo released a total of three albums before breaking up in 1984. Ball went on to found the famed techno outfit, the Grid. Almond formed Marc and the Mambas, and then Marc Almond and the Willing Sinners before finally embarking on a successful solo career. In March 2001 --17 years after their split -- the two reunited for a Soft Cell concert in London. The success of the show led to the recording and release of 2002's <i>Cruelty Without Beauty</i>. That same year, Almond was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident, putting future work with Soft Cell on hold.

<description><![CDATA[Bryan Ferry's satiny smooth vocals were the force that made the space-age cabaret premise of Roxy Music not only credible, but incredible. "Virginia Plain," "Love Is the Drug," "More Than This"... under Ferry's direction, Roxy Music produced some of the milestones of modern Pop, but he has also been a prolific solo performer. Devoting much of his catalog to tender re-workings of songs varying from Soul to rock standards to canonical tunes from the 1930s, Ferry has pursued each of these vectors with characteristic delicacy and tendresse. His succulent voice possesses such powerful magnetism that even his less inspired performances are difficult to resist.

<description><![CDATA[During the first half of the '80s, ABC's catchy, synth-driven Dance Pop scored a number of chart hits around the world, although the band's popularity was strongest in their native Britain. Frontman Martin Fry's pin-up looks lent him to glossy teen mags and MTV audiences ready to devour the next big thing. That, coupled with ABC's R&B-influenced Synth Pop (featuring strong hooks and memorable choruses) resulted in a one-two combination that knocked audiences out. For a while, anyway. ABC's popularity waned with the passing of the decade.

<description><![CDATA[Dead or Alive is the brainchild of flamboyant androgyne Pete Burns. Thanks to his vampy charisma and impressive vocal range, the band enjoyed a fair amount of success in '80s New Wave circles as the darker, deeper stepsister of Culture Club. "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and "Brand New Lover" were both MTV staples and disco anthems.

<description><![CDATA[After leaving experimental synth glam outfit Japan, David Sylvain began a sonic journey into the enchanting realm of ambient music to gain almost as much credibility in the field as Brian Eno. He teamed up with composer Ryuichi Sakamoto for his first solo single, "Bamboo Houses" before the two embarked upon scoring the film <I>Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence</I>. The success of their chemistry paved the way for an ongoing musical partnership.

<description><![CDATA[In the mid-1980s, getting through high school without listening to Alphaville's "Forever Young" was about as difficult a feat as getting through high school without a pimple. While many German dance bands of the era pursued the EBM course, Alphaville coolly waltzed along, playing swooning, romantic Synth Pop in the tradition of Roxy Music and Ultravox. Marian Gold's preening vocals provided the lush backdrop to many an evening of teen whoopee. During the '90s, Alphaville of course attempted to reinvent themselves with a string of "mature" albums that only succeeded in pointing out their irrelevance. But hey, wasn't it grand while it lasted?

<description><![CDATA[Together from the late 1980s to the early '90s, Minnesota-based quartet Information Society saw numerous chart hits throughout the length of their career. Best known for such radio/club crossover debuts as "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" and "Walking Away," these Electro-oriented anglophiles evolved over the years from a clean Pet Shop Boys-inspired Synth Pop sound to a brooding Industrial Dance/hip-hop hybrid that made little effort to convert new fans.

<description><![CDATA[With their big, spiky hair, pin-up looks and liberal use of make-up, Kajagoogoo epitomized the '80s more than any other band, short of Duran Duran. In fact, it was Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes who produced Kajagoogoo's best-known single, "Too Shy." ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What set Heaven 17 apart from so many of their contemporaries were their perfect vocal harmonies that mixed with a small symphony of synthesizers. They continue to craft smart, elaborate pop songs as well as lend their tracks to tribute remix projects.

<description><![CDATA[Indonesian singer Taco hit it big in 1982 with his synth-heavy take on Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz." He gave similar treatments to other Depression-era hits, such as "In the Mood" and "Singin' in the Rain." The results were less popular, if equally inexplicable.

<description><![CDATA[Japan were everything Duran Duran wanted to be. Looking like Nick Rhodes' five androgynous elder brothers, boasting cheekbones to spare and pseudonyms to match, Japan (David Sylvian, vocals; Mick Karn, bass; Richard Barbieri, keyboards; Rob Dean, guitar; Steve Jansen, drums) had only one weak suit: timing. Formed in 1974 but arriving in a puff of foundation in 1978 just as punk was obsessing over street credibility, their Roxy Music-inspired debut, <I>Adolescent Sex</I>, vanished without trace, as did follow up <I>Obscure Alternatives</I>. It took the advent of New Romanticism for third album <I>Quiet Life</I> to hit a nerve with both press and public. Following the success of an extraordinary cover of Smokey Robinson's "I Second That Emotion," you could almost hear the collective groan going up through the country's sixth forms as the band announced they were to split following sublime Top 5 U.K. hit "Ghosts" and landmark album <I>Tin Drum</I>. The four core members reformed in 1990 as Rain Tree Crow, but by then the time for their exotic combination of glamor-puss pop and Middle Eastern rhythms had passed. Still highly respected, David Sylvian has since worked with everyone from Robert Fripp to Ryuchi Sakamoto, while Japan's foppish influence can be seen in everyone from Fischerspooner to Franz Ferdinand.

<description><![CDATA[Specimen's penchant for wild costumery made their fashion influence on Dead or Alive and Depeche Mode's Martin L. Gore more significant than the band's music. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," their most noticeable single, was a saucy mix of dance pop and Goth schlock that captured the essence of the band.
