Best synth artists?

Postby WeLiveSoFastx83 » Mon May 25, 2020 3:49 pm

New wave has a few different forms, but which artists have a stronger focus on synth?

I'm talking about artists similar to Gary Numan, John Foxx, Ultravox (Vienna era), Spandau Ballet (Journeys to Glory era), Heaven 17 (Penthouse & Pavement era), Yaz, Depeche Mode, OMD, Cee Farrow.
