Depeche Mode - Violator

from The Albums That Saved Us Hosted by Doug Smith

By the late ‘80s, Depeche Mode had already evolved from their early synthpop roots into one of the most successful and influential alternative bands in the world. The group had built a devoted following with dark, electronic anthems, but their sound was still evolving. Music for the Masses had pushed them into stadiums, proving that electronic music could be as powerful live as rock music. But with Violator, Depeche Mode would transcend their status as cult heroes and become true mainstream icons.
