Gringo alert.
Watching Prince music videos since they're on youtube now.
After New Wave Thursday, I listened to Nicks/Prince Stand Back several times. I don't know who gets all the credit for the composition of the synth instrumentation, I know Prince laid it down, and urban legend is that she used Little Red Corvette as inspiration...but man...the synth on that track is about as good an 80's synth sound as you'll ever hear.
I listen on occasion to Retro New Wave on youtube, some good stuff but nowhere near the same quality.
