    "comment": "Released on this day in 1987!\n\nDepeche Mode founding member and keyboardist Vince Clarke wrote this synth-pop landmark. Musically, it was inspired by \"To Cut a Long Story Short\" by Spandau Ballet, released in 1980. To that point, Clark wasn't into dance music, but the Spandau Ballet song turned him around.\n\n\"It was the first time I was actually impressed by a rhythm that went 'boom-thwack, boom-thwack,'\" he told Rolling Stone in 2000. \"It was the first time I discovered dance music for myself, and to write a song around the rhythm was quite a revelation for me. 'Just Can't Get Enough' came out of that.\"\n\nClarke had just turned 20 when he wrote this song, which turned out to be the last one he wrote for Depeche Mode. He left the band after the Speak and Spell album was released, later joining Yaz and Erasure. The \"Just Can't Get Enough\" video is the only one he appears in.\n\nEarly Depeche Mode, under the direction of Clarke, had a more upbeat sound. In a Songfacts interview with Vince Clarke, he explained: \"Martin Gore writes in a different way than I do, so that's obviously the main difference. And they've developed this kind of a rock feel to their music. I'm more a fan of pop music, or I'm more of a fan of writing pop music, that's the most difference, I guess.\" https://tinyurl.com/yc2a3vn7",
