some 80's synth music :s ?

Question

I would like some more 80's synth-pop type music.
I have only a few artists at the moment:

Depeche Mode
Yazoo
Eurythmics
The Human League
A Flock Of Seagulls

Can you suggest some more please?

Genuine 80's stuff, not the modern reproductions eg la roux (eww)  

Thanks! x

I love you for hating La Roux! It is so NOT 80's synth pop - it's a wailing, warbling cachophony of horror!

Also, try Alphaville.
Its a German synthpop band, but don't worry the songs are English.
Start with their album Forever Young.
