No doubt, they were inspired by songwriter Martin GoreвЂ™s assimilation of bluesy guitar riffs into the bandвЂ™s sound, achieved to full effect on вЂњPersonal Jesus.вЂќ But the alt-rock scene was also simpatico with GoreвЂ™s unflinching lyrical approach to psychological pain, which complemented frontman Dave GahanвЂ™s heightened role as the tortured rock star forced to confront his personal demons, armed only with a powerful baritone. These artists span an unimaginable variety of genres on an international scale, and they provide ample justification for the bandвЂ™s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.Дoyens of the вЂ™90s alt-rock scene, particularly, covered tracks from Violator, as is evident from even a cursory glance at The (Al)most Complete Depeche Mode Cover Versions website. The breadth of artists whoвЂ™ve covered its songs is testimony to the albumвЂ™s impact. Today marks 30 years since the release of Depeche ModeвЂ™s bleak, unit-shifting masterpiece, one of the most influential records of the вЂ™90s, and one that made #342 on Rolling StoneвЂs 500 Greatest Albums of all Time in 2012.

The British synthpop group had grown steadily in popularity since signing to the independent Mute label in 1980, even to the point of selling out the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena (over 90,000 seats) in 1988. You Want it Darker, the title of Leonard CohenвЂ™s farewell album of 2016, might also have made an appropriate moniker for Depeche ModeвЂ™s 1990 release, Violator.
