I know that Showdown by E.L.O is a good "synthesizer song." Any other suggestions?

    Sizzle Chest put out a pretty good list there. Add in:



    - Nine Inch Nails

    - Anything by Georgio Moroder

    - Van Halen had some surprisingly good synth tones (courtesy of the Oberheim OB8)

    For synths of a totally different character, try anything by:



    Bill Leeb He does rip off a lot of samples but he is king of bass synth,



    Rhys Fulber really atmospheric stuff mostly but works with more hardcore bands, and



    cEvin Key or (and often with) Dwayne Goettel.



    [added Fulber]

    Gary Numan

    Howard Jones

    Herbie Hancock



    Go for crazy moog stuff too - try Jean Jacques Perry. Moon Safari by Air (french band is a great album too) but I'm diversing there... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
