“Oh L'Amour” is my favorite erasure song. I see them every time they tour

Vince Clarke creator from depeche mode and then moved on to Yaz/Yazoo then Erasure where he was let go to create strictly for himself. He has shaped music from the late 70's all the way until today. He Is Nothing Short of Amazing. makes me smile !

Erasure is such an underrated band! Andy and Vince ... amazing! Oh L'amour must be done too!

"Who needs love like that" hooked me to erasure

Vince is a genius, and he finally found his stable muse in Andy. So, so many things to explore here - "Chains of Love" and "Stop" are a must from this era - but there's so much to follow.

Chains of Love is probably Erasure's "signature" song. "The Circus" is a good message song. And my SO particularly likes "I love to hate you" a lot, what's the meaning there?!?!? Always happy to see the love between Jordan and Amber.

The lead singer dances like the world's not watching, It's great!

The Circus and Ship of Fools, even now are absolute bangers.

This was their first hit in the UK and I've loved them ever since! I still dance to this one around the kitchen when it comes on. I think Jay's right - you should've started with this one. Try 'Oh L'Amour' and 'Stop' next both great tunes. Truly sorry to hear of your recent loss. Sending all the love from the UK.

"Oh, L'Amour" and "Drama" are a couple of my Erasure favorites!

They're just as good live, even today. Their album "Pop!" has their first 20 great hits on one album- so good. I highly recommend "Always" for your next reaction to Erasure.

ALWAYS loved this Song!! Thank You So much for reacting to this! ❤❤

It's high time for Fascination by The Human League! Great bass guitar, synth, drums, singing, and very catchy! 👍👍👍

Vince Clark is an absolute music genius. He was the writer and support in the band but also worked on early Depeche Mode and the fantastic Yahoo. Great vid and get well soon!

The guitar is a resonator guitar, which is made a little differently from a regular acoustic guitar since the entire main body, or at least the resonating chamber itself, is made of STEEL instead of wood, so it has a very distinctive sound when played. Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, for example, ALWAYS plays one when he plays acoustic, so their songs always have that very clear, distinctive sound (Romeo & Juliet has to be the very best example of that). You see them a lot in 80s music videos because they look REALLY COOL, too.

Erasure are the masters of the 3-minute pop song.Vince Clarke and Andy Bell are so creative in many ways lyrically and musically.

Back to my college days! Absolutely my favorite from them. Try "Stop," and "Chorus." Their version of Tina Turner's "River Deep Mountain High" is classic as well.

anything Erasure will make me happy, even their sad songs. Have had the privilege to be very close to the stage hearing them live. Both Andy and Vince deliver.

BLUE SAVANNAH is probably my favorite song by Erasure.

Great to hear this again. This was their first big hit in the UK back in the mid 80s. Saw them live in 88 in Ireland, amazing.

I was living in London as a kid 86/87 and I remember this song was played everywhere. On the radio, in the shops, on TV. Love it!

"Oh L:Amour" needs to be your next Erasure song. Fantastic group! I'm so glad you are enjoying them.

It's so great to watch young people enjoy the music I grew up with! Such a wonderful couple and you always bring great joy to my heart. For me and you guys, and thank you for listening to music this brings back such great memories.

Awesome. Next one by Erasure has gotta be Chains of Love. 80s gold. 🔥🏆🎶

Great fave to bop to on the dancefloor and sing along to in the car. I just love Andy's voice❤ Vince Clark, fantastic Synthpop/NewWave innovator, was previously with early Depeche Mode and Yazoo

This is one of my faves by Erasure. Andy's voice and the synth is so ethereal. My favourite song by them is "Fingers and Thumbs". Give it a listen guys. Cheers, Paul.😀👍📀❤️

That Silver guitar is called a Resonator Guitar. Very cool sound!

It's time for y'all to get back to Erasure. You can't go wrong with almost any of their singles between 1986-97. But you REALLY need to watch the hilarious video for their UK#1 cover of "Take a Chance on Me" by ABBA.

Vince Clarke is a musical genious and Andy Bell is a great singer, what else can I say...

Such a vibe and the lyrics are so clever. I'm gonna suggest again (from a year after this was released) Sam Brown and her single Stop. Her voice is so unique. This was a massive hit here in the UK and definitely one for FEMALE FRIDAY.

The one Erasure song you must react to is "Ship Of Fools", not just an amazing song but the story behind it is heartbreaking and the song tells it so well.

I love them so much, Vince and Andy are amazing. Vince has had a hand in more than one successful group

Absolutely love Erasure! Fantastic 80's... These are legends of the 80's

You can't go wrong with any Erasure song, but some of my favorites you may want to react to are Chains of Love, Don't Say Your Love is Killing Me, Always and Star.

The “backing” vocals are just Andy’s harmonies. He has an angelic voice 🎉😮❤ I loved how you both started swaying as soon as it started!

My fav Erasure song! I feel honored that ya'll did it and liked it. Thank You 😁 also still a lot of synth pop you have yet to do 😸 a lot. Oh L'amour should be the next Erasure song and then "Stop' and "Who needs love like that" and "Victim of love"

Stop! Is a banger of a dance song. Of course Chains of Love is their biggest hit they had. Vince Clark founded Depeche Mode, then Yaz or YAZOO and finally Erasure. He is the synth wizard behind them all.

Definitely their BEST song along with 'Always'. Please do 'Always' :)

“Chorus” is one of my favorites by Erasure!

Erasure is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time! This was their "breakout" song and their first hit in the UK. Went to No 2 over there. You have to do more of their songs to really understand why they are so loved. Oh'Lamour, Stop, Drama and Blue Savannah Song for sure!

I love Erasure. This was the first I song I heard when it came out and fell in love with them. That Yeah Heh was a game changer. It was their 4th attempt to break the UK top 40.

When Vince Clark was in Depeche Mode it was all synths. Both Depeche and Vince in Erasure eventually went on to include guitars and real drums in their arrangements.

Love this song. Used to play this album on repeat back in the day, ca. 1987

Don't say your love is killing me, Always, Blue savana, Oh l'amour. Amazing songs. Very underrated band.

Please do ALL of Erasure, they are simply brilliant. Andy Bells' voice is so bloody strong and wonderful to hear alongside Vince Clarke's melodies. The songs from The Chorus album are the band at their commercial peak...

Drama! and “I love Saturday”. Two great songs by Erasure!😃🎶

Erasure put out an album called "Abbaesque" in which they covered ABBA songs. DEFINITELY check it out -- it's awesome. But honestly, you can NEVER go wrong with Erasure! Also, did the video's set look familiar? It's the same on they used for Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself."

Seen them live three times and all three were entertaining and everybody was dancing

Victim of love is another great song and don't see it getting enough ' love' here😊

Erasure , beside their great and distinctive synth pop is such an incredibly cross over band.

"Drama!" Should be your next Erasure hit to check out. Huge dance hit.

Erasure has so many great songs, you really can't go wrong with any suggestions from other commenters, but i'd say my favourite is "Always" hauntingly beautiful in every way.

Her mother and I used to play this endlessly when my daughter was still in her mum's womb. It was the only song we could dance her to sleep with when she was a baby and she still loves it now she is 33.

Ship of Fools is often overlooked but I love it!

Ohhh! Erasure has so many good songs!! Ship of Fools, Always, Love to hate you, Oh L'Amour!! So many great songs!

Rock Me Gently is another Erasure classic :-)

This is my favorite Erasure track. And I agree with the comments about the mix of synths with the more organic instrumentation such as the acoustic guitars. Jay, I think you would appreciate “Blue Savannah” based on your comments about you love of synth pop. Amber, I think you would appreciate one of their bigger hits called “Always”. Hope you get to more Erasure sooner than later. Love you guys!

Here’s a few of their great tracks: Who Needs Love Like That / Oh L’Amour / It Doesn’t Have To Be / Hideaway / Victim Of Love / Spiralling (“Orchestral” version) / Chains Of Love / When I Needed You / Blue Savannah / Drama! / Star / Gloria / Piano Song / Chorus / Waiting For The Day / Breath Of Life / Am I Right? / Stop! / Take Me Back / I Love Saturday / Man In The Moon / Always / Run To The Sun / Because You’re So Sweet / Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer’s Day) / Stay With Me / Love The Way You Do So / Don’t Say Your Love Is Killing Me / In My Arms/ Boy / Rock Me Gently / How Can I Say? / Freedom / Here I Go Impossible Again / Breathe / Don’t Say You Love Me / All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love / I Bet You’re Mad At Me / Tenderest Moments (Acoustic version) / Sunday Girl / A Whole Lotta Love Run Riot / When I Start (To Break It Down) / Under The Waves / Hey Now (Think I’ve Got A Feeling) / Nerves Of Steel / Tower Of Love / And a must is their Abba cover & video of Take A Chance On Me. (On an EP of four Abba covers, but these weren't their first Abba covers either - they also covered Blondie's Heart Of Glass & Rapture and released a whole album of other covers)

Jay & Amber, here’s a fun one for you and the girls! Jackie Wilson “Baby Workout” on Shindig 1965. Great voice and dance moves!!

Love this song, and the emotion expressed in Andy Bell's voice.

I've always said this is 'the' perfect pop song. Love 'em!

I've not seen it mentioned in the comments so far but the trumpet solo is done by Guy Barker, an MBE awarded fairly well-known jazz trumpeter and composer.

Love some Erasure

Chorus is amazing.one of my favourite erasure songs. Got to give it a listen

Vince Clarke putting an acoustic guitar over the top is genius Erasure, everyone synth pop guilty pleasure

Erasure has so many great songs to choose from. One of my personal favorites is Drama! Super catchy, and the video is really good. Thanks for reacting to them! They are my favorite

Iconic! Feel-good vibes!

This is a pretty good song, imo. Good dance tune as well. Very nice 80s song. 💃 🕺

Ive loved listening too Erasure since they first hit the scene in the 80s. Stop! never fails to get me in a great mood.

Love the joy you guys are showing...erasure reminds me of days in the clubs dancing the stress out the door!!! 😊

Always, In Your Arms, Blue Savannah, Chains Of Love, I Love Saturday, You Surround Me etc.

I believe this was their first hit song?...I saw them in concert 4 times and they were awesome EVERY time! Vince Clark is a MASTER song writer. Please review Oh L'amour or Ship of Fools next! :)

"I Love To Hate You" or "Oh Lamour" Two more great songs by Erasure....❤

yup, that's what new wave does....takes the pain and betrayal of life and transforms it into a celebration of life you can survive by dancing through it

One of my fav vintage Erasure songs comes off one their arguably most popular albums, “The Innocents”. Every song is a hit. Check this one out. Erasure - “Phantom Bride”

My favorite Erasure songs are their covers of Abba songs on their Abba-Esque album. Their version of Voulez Vous and Take A Chance On Me are so good. The original music is good but Abba-Esque is such a good album.

Erasure are awesome Am i right Breath of life Chains of love Chorus All need to be heard especially Breath of life Am i right Ship of fools

Erasure are THE BEST!!! Guaranteed floor fillers at any disco! 👍👍👍 Stop! is your next stop 😊👍👍👍

I've just listened to the Very Best of Erasure. I'm an 80's child and grew up listening to their music. Stop, Blue Savannah and Oh L' Amour are great. Their version of ABBA's Take a Chance on Me is brilliantly funny.

Brilliant band and great song. Vince and Andy in synth masterclass 🎹👍🏻 Check out “Ship Of Fools”, “Stop” or “Always” next. Rob Squad You are the best - greetings from Denmark 👍🏻😊🇩🇰

2:45 the way he sings “Desire” still gives me life all these years later.

I grew up with Erasure, i was a full card carrying metalhead and Erasure was and always has been my guilty pleasure

LOVE ERASURE!!!! Check out "Oh L'Amour," "A Little Respect," and "Ship of Fools"

One of my favourite bands ever and I'm so glad you are discovering them. Stand out songs for me are also 'Stop', 'Chorus' and 'Chains of Love'. Their only UK chart topper was an EP of ABBA songs called 'The Abbaesque EP' including the ABBA songs 'Take A Chance One Me', 'SOS', 'Lay All Your Love On Me' and 'Voulez-Vous', the video to 'Take A Chance On Me' is hilarious and a real tribute to the ABBA ladies 🙂

This type of guitar is called a resonator - a steel bodied acoustic with a resonating cone (or 3) inside. Originally designed to give huge volume for live performances, before electric and amplifiers arrived. Very cool.

80’s Gold 🤩

Short haired dude with the guitar is Vincent Clarke, who was the keyboard genius behind the 80s... depeche mode, yazoo, and erasure.

The 1980s music scene saw the emergence of dance music and new wave. As disco fell out of fashion in the decade's early years, genres such as post-disco, Italo disco, Euro disco and dance-pop became more popular. Erasure shifted the style into dance pop.

a huge hit..... ♥ it

Erasures songs were/are fabulous to dance to. ❤🇬🇧🔥🕺💃

MORE Depeche Mode please - "Personal Jesus" is a must, but songs like "Blasphemous Rumors", "Master & Servant" are worth a listen

I am so glad you both reacted positively to this track, it's this style of music that fills us 50 somethings with fond memories, like our parents had with the Beatles :)

The man with the chromed guitar is one of the greatest 80's producers, Vince Clark was one of the founders of Depeche Mode and some years later, the mind of Yazoo! He's a New Wave/Synth Pop master!

Finally got see them a few years back and they were soooo good. Great reaction thanks

Mastermind Genius of Synth Pop Mr.Vince Clark !

ERASURE have made album after album of fantastic, smart pop songs.

Fantastic stuff. Erasure have had many hits in the UK. They were the backbone of Pop! in the 80's and 90's. You mentioned not ever seeing an acoustic guitar in a synth pop song. But just wait until you react to their single Drama! and see a Minimoog fall from the sky.

Erasure has a huge catalogue of brilliant xx

Another great song from an incredible band! They've got so many others in their deep collection too, but I agree with others. Oh L'amour is another must listen.

Loved Erasure back in the day.
