The Logic Off Topic list

I was wondering if any of you knew of a list or group that might discuss
what synths 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 new wave 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 EXS24 w/ Xtreme Analog, and
I'm really anxious to get ES2). 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
