Music Appreciation
Depeche Mode has had a major influence in electronic music since the early 1980s.
Formed in 1980 in Basildon, east of London, the original members included Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, and Vince Clarke. Vince Clarke was replaced with Alan Wilder, who then left the band in 1995.
The band has had many top albums and awards since their inception. Perhaps the album that introduced Depeche Mode to international fame was their seventh album, Violator, which was released on March 19, 1990 with hit songs that included Policy of Truth, World in My Eyes, Personal Jesus, and Enjoy the Silence.
Violator has been considered by magazines such as Rolling Stones, Q, and Spin as one of the best albums of all time. Being someone who appreciates all types of music, I would say this is one that should be in everyone's music collection.
