This is possible not something that you would expect me to get, but I really liked Soft Cell back in the day. I'm not going to say that they were a guilty pleasure because I feel no guilt in admitting that I like them (either now or all those years ago). Yes, I *know* that they are about as far removed as you can get from the NWOBHM, but I don't care - they were (and still are) a bloody good band

I wasn't a big fan of the other synth bands of the day, because they were too uptempo and jolly, but Soft Cell had a dark and sinister / sleazy underbelly that you only really knew if you were *in the know* (if that makes sense)

To me, they were (tonally and lyrically if not musically) an updated version of The Velvet Underground
