EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I was wondering if any of you knew of a list or group that might discuss
what synth made signature, milestone or distinctive sounds that have been on
hit records. I do programming and production for a 80's copy band and I try
to copy the synth timbres of newwave and funk tunes as closely as I can, but
I'm not always sure of the source I'm trying to emulate. Besides having a
number of modules, I've also invested in a number of 80's style VSTi's like
Pro52, PPG Wave, FM7 (and of course an EXS24 w/ Xtreme Analog). With these
resources I think I can nail a sound if I have an idea where it they came
from. Any advice how to determine the source of synth sounds or on doing
80's style synth production would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
