The Anniversary rock!! If you like them you should check out Motion City Soundtrack, and The Pettit Project. Also great moog based emo-ish bands.

As for a synth for you... hmmm i dunno much about synths... but check out pawn shops... maybe you'll get lucky?

You can find a Moog Rogue, Micromoog, Opus-3, and a concertmate MG-1(made by Moog for Radio Shack, essentially the same as the Rogue) all for under $500. You might get lucky and find a Moog Prodigy for very close, if you look hard enough.

If you've got a MIDI keyboard, you can score a used Nord Lead 2 rack for under $500, and probably an original Nord Lead keyborad for the same. The polyphony is limited, but you only need one voice for "Moog"-like rock leads.

There are some great Moog sounds (over 40 classic sounds) for a Roland JV-1010 using a Vintage Keys expansion card - within your budget (second hand). Check Evil-bay for deals

But if you want more control over editing your sounds, then you might need to look for a second hand synth.
