They both feature lots of synthsizers and a few guitars. Both started with songs full of harmonies. They both broke into the English music scene in 1981 and consolidated their success in 1982. Both were often on Top of the Pops and were famous for outrageous fashions. Both broke big in America after years of failure. Both Depeche Mode and Duran released a repackaged compilation LP for USA. They both released dozens of videos and extended version recordings. Both are touring America almost 30 years after forming. The press are calling these "come-back" tours.
They do have a few major differences.
Depeche Mode was from the London area and on a small label while Duran Duran was from Birmigham and on a major level. It would be interesting to know who has sold more LPs.
Can you tell them apart?
