Thinking about bands missing from this board and OMD came to mind. What a great synth band who I think have stood the test of time better than all the others.
Sugar Tax for some reason is my favorite, but their early stuff is still brilliant.
What are your thoughts?

I don't have any of the individual albums but do have the best of.
I love Pandora's Box and If You Leave always gets me humming it too.

Yeah, for me probably one of the most consistently good bands of the 80s and 90s. Favourite album is probably Liberator with Souvenir and So in love my favourite singles.

"If You Leave" was a huge US hit, but didn't quite make it over here. It was in a film, though i forget which one!
I still prefer their earlier stuff like "Enola Gaye"

I can make a mix cd with it on - what else you want on it and do you want it CD or mp3? (can add to Kaiser Chiefs button and poster (if I find it - looked last night and didn't see the poster...))

I just rediscovered Sugar Trax by chance yesterday (I was searching for a Yello CD, but found OMD instead). It's the only OMD I have, but I love it. If I was to buy another album, which would you recommend next ?
