The sounds of new technology, synthesizers and electronic keyboards, along with drum machines, lend an electronic, distinct sound to most 1980s records. New Wave music, or Synthpop, a form of synthesized pop-rock, is popular throughout decade, especially the early eighties. Top-charting artists of the 1980s include The Police, Lionel Richie, The Go-Go's, Duran Duran, Van Halen, Def Leppard, U2, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Bon Jovi.
