Giorgio Moroder's apparently, although I've never heard the pre-Chicory Tip stuff myself

Gary Numan's, natch.

I would add also Sonic Boom's, but that's just me.

Van Halen to thread. Also, ZZ Top - you may not dig Eliminator, but without it & the accompanying videos, they're out of a contract by 1986.

It wasn't the guitars that saved ZZ Top. It was that cool car in the "accompanying videos."

If it weren't for synths, Dead or Alive would still be playing polka songs in that fruity singer's mom's basement. or maybe they still are. regardless, i dont know what radiohead wouldve done without them. maybe just knives out over and over again.

Ha ha good one Curtis! Actually, you could go so far as to say that Bob Moog saved the synthesizer's career.

The Faint... they may be reviled now by many of you, but they never would have been known if they kept sounding like their first CD, "Media"
