Best Synth-Hook
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 6:40 amWhat song do you consider to have the best synth-hook out of the New Wave era? You know, the catchy keyboard licks that instantly become the song's, if not the artist's, trademark?

Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:14 amCould Be "Girlfreind Is Better" by Talking Heads.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:21 amEnz, I agree! Yazoo's "Don't Go" is too cool for words. You really get the full effect on the two mixes from the 12" vinyl Extended Version!
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:24 amOH! you mean Hooks! Thought you meant "solos". well then, "My secret garden" or "just can't get enough" by Depeche Mode
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:44 amDon't You Want Me - Human League.
I too think Just Can't Get Enough's is one of the most recognizable!

Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:47 amI'd say Suburbia - PET SHOP BOYS. The extended version gives it a more feel to it.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:17 amLime - Babe we're gonna love tonight. One of the best synth lines ever.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:26 amOops, I forgot, Yazoo's "Bad Connection" Talk about synthesizer hook, this track takes it to an art form.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:30 amHands Down....NEW ORDER - BLUE MONDAY (Ya with me Marvy?)[;)]
I would have give a VERY Honorable Mention to the original (Bobcat label) version of 'West End Girls'
That synth intro is a timeless classic.. Bah dum.. bum bum bum bum bum bum.. ahh.. aah.. ahh,ahh,ahh,ahh [:p]
