My opinion is by far Depeche Mode. Most of their song is strong enough to be the single hit of any one hit wonder.

Anyway, I think it was kinda an odd choice - there's so many synthpop band - and And One is a synthpop/EBM crossover.

There's barely any electronic band, in the range from synthpop, darkwave, techno, ebm, new industrial, futurepop, electropop, regular pop and so on, that isn't strongly influenced by Depeche Mode.

Other modern or classic synthpop (or synthpop-like) bands that could be mentioned are:
- A-ha
- Alphaville
- Assemblage 23 (kind of)
- Deine Lakaien
- De/Vision
- The Echoing Green
- Erasure
- Iris
- Opium
- Pet Shop Boys
- S.P.O.C.K
- Syrian
- Urceus Exit
- Wolfsheim
- Wave In Head
