Depeche Mode is the greatest 80s/90s band of all time with their 48 singles and brilliant minds. Most of their songs are gold, and people just don’t get that.

When you think of ’80s music, you probably think of, at most, three things. Hair metal (Poison, Mötley Crüe, et al.), the big pop stars of the day (Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Bowie) or the dance-y, new wave stuff that’s soundtracked every wedding and retro ’80s night you’ve ever attended (Duran Duran, The Cure, Depeche Mode).
How did Queen change music in the 80s?
Very much the 80’s brought a change to the type of mainstream music and with that Queen went with that flow. Songs like bohemian Rhapsody and We are the Champions were some of this band’s finest from the 70’s but in the 80’s produced their 2 and only US no. 1’s, which were Another one Bites the Dust and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
Were Duran Duran the best band of the 80’s?
Duran Duran were the definition of the 80’s! There really is no comparison. All the bands that came of England such as Tears For Fears, Eurythmics, Culture Club, Bananarama, Spandau Ballet, Wham!, and Durab Duran were the best. You take five good looking boys from Birmingham and you get a supergroup.
