"Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order

New Order is a synth rock outfit that emerged in 1980 from the demise of Joy Division after the lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. New Order scored a few minor hits in the 80s and 90s that have become classics in the genre, including "True Faith" (#32), "Blue Monday" (the 1988 version peaked at #68; the original 1983 version did not chart but is in the R&R Hall of Fame), and "Regret" (#28). Members of the band also recorded in other groups, including Monaco and Electronic.

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is one of those songs that everyone seems to know, but it floundered on the charts during its initial release. Originally released in 1986, it failed to chart at all, but managed to reach #98 in 1995. New interest in the song arose after the quirky Australian band Frente! did a beautiful acoustic version that went to #49 in 1994.

"What Do You Want From Me?" by Monaco

Monaco was a synth pop duo formed by Peter Hook (New Order) and David Potts. Their lone album was released in 1997, entitled "Music For Pleasure."

"What Do You Want From Me?" was the lead single. It is catchy and engaging, and a vicious guitar solo comes out of nowhere and shreds. The song made it to #61, but deserved much better.
