Memento Mori is Depeche Mode's 15th studio album and it's first as a two-piece lineup of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, following co-founder Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher's tragic passing in 2022.
The reason Depeche Mode’s Violator is a quintessential benchmark of pop, rock and electronic music is because it marries dance, goth-rock and synth-pop with good ol’ fashioned Motown funk and rock n’ roll so seamlessly.
This is a neon-infused journey through the era of big hair, bold fashion, and even bolder beats. With hits like "Girls on Film" and "Planet Earth," Duran Duran's debut isn't just music; it's a crash course in how to party like it's 1981.
Joy Division's dark, brooding sound has inspired more artists than could be listed. With the sad passing of Ian Curtis, from the ashes rose New Order; the same core band but with a new fresh approach.
