M83 is a French electronic project led by Anthony Gonzalez, celebrated for creating expansive, cinematic soundscapes that blend 1980s synth-pop nostalgia with the wall-of-sound textures of shoegaze. Their music often feels like the soundtrack to an epic, "teen-dream" adventure, using soaring melodies and explosive crescendos to evoke a sense of cosmic wonder and deep emotional yearning. Does this equate to a Hall of Fame nod? Probably not, but this acclaimed act earns a spot here.
