 Enjoy the silence has to be Depeche mode's pinnacle!! the song was great and the anton corbjin directed video is so memorable.
  For anyone that like's this song, you might want to check out Laccuna coil's recent cover of it, it's probably not as good as the origional but it's an interesting rockier version of it.

Of that lot, I voted Tainted Love.   Does Making Plans For Nigel - good as it is - qualify as an 'electro song' - it's not even got much keyboard on it?

Making Plans for Nigel, crap lyrics.

Out of those it's "Don't you want me" - Human League

Should have had some Thompson Twins stuff on there though.
