of course, you also want to be checking out early human league, OMD, new order etc.

chromeo - mercury tears

well, maybe not a classic...
yet

then - roxy music - more than this (well... you know)
and... silverman - love me too (this can hardly be called a classic, but in my opinion easily tops my melancholy chart)

Maybe not a classic yet, but Annie's "My Heartbeat" is an obvious answer here. A melancholic touch at least.

yeah that kind of vibe is what i'm looking for. if someone could give me a list of albums to check. that would be a little easier to search for

Visage's "The Damned Don't Cry" has cornered the melancholic synthpop market
Also "Crocket's Theme" from Miami Vice (which has been covered and made more danceable a couple times under the name "Ocean Drive")
