After four albums that are now considered classics but didn't spawn any hits in the U.S., the Ramones gave into management and agreed to record with producer Phil Spector. The sessions didn't go well and the resulting album was not one of the band's favorites. Despite the initial thought that they should be a good match their recording and production styles clashed throughout, and a set of mostly tired and forgettable songs didn't help.

INXS's 1988 album Kick was one of those '80s albums that kept delivering the hits over a year later. That gave the band some time to rest after their tour and regroup, releasing X in 1990. Since the previous hits made it feel like they never left the new songs helped them stay on the charts as they molded their slick dance pop into something that resembled the alternative scene at the time.

Violator was Depeche Mode's international breakthrough after spending the latter part of the 1980s on the verge of worldwide success. The album didn't depart much from their style, but a surprising element was the inclusion of guitars and other traditional rock instruments along with the usual synth sounds. In 1993 the band went all in with Songs of Faith and Devotion, creating a recording now regarded as one of their best, but at the cost of a founding member.
