Depeche Mode, Anyone?

Anyone here besides me a fan of Depeche Mode? I've been a fan of their music for over 17 years and think they've put out some wonderful music. ...Enjoy The Silence, Personal Jesus, I Feel You, Policy Of Truth, It's No Good... the list goes on and on.... what do you think?

Everything Counts and their cover of Route 66. 101 aint bad but....

They have a few good albums from the middle of their career, but the stuff from the beginning is mostly mediocre new romantic songs and the later albums are too dull.

Never bought anything by them and remember one reviewer saying they "dont have the spunk and cheeky playfulness of New Order" which kind of summed up why i dont care much for them.

last album i bought by them was "Violator", favourite album is "Black Celebration".

They`ve got a 3cd "Greatest Remixes" album out in october,it must be nearly christmas!

Violator is a CLASSIC. Every song is good. SOFAD is like that also, but not as good. Some Great Reward is a great older album, and Ultra is a good chill-out album that I've rediscovered lately. They're steadily becoming a lounge act, though...as seen from the progression from Ultra to Exciter.

Gone off them a bit though, i've heard "Ultra" and "Exciter" and they did nothing for me, but at least they are still around.

I can't really see them as a lounge act, though, unless they just play "I just can't get enough" for a bunch of teenagers who want nostalgia.

101 is my favorite live album of all time. i have always loved depeche mode but interest lately has been dying. exciter sucked, ultra one of my fav's, violator is classic but i over-played it over the years.

Despite leaving behind their cheesy 80's pop songs on the last tour in favor of the boringly earnest lounge music of Exciter, I think we'll see the video for 'It's No Good' as portending more than you know.

Violator is one of the best albums of all time, and I could play World In My Eyes all day long and would not get tired of it at all.

I concur, Tristan. WIME was the song that got me into them in the first place. I love 'em!

Any song you play all say you'll eventually get sick of...even if you forget about it playing for a while. I've done that with World in My Eyes. For me, Enjoy the Silence would be the one I'd repeat if it weren't for that extra long outro on the album. Good thing I have the single!

shake the disease :)

Policy of Truth is another good one to repeat ad nauseum. Same with Never Let Me Down.

depeche mode are my favorite band, my favorite albums by them are black celebration and construction time again, and the best songs are world full of nothing, behind the wheel, waiting for the night, and the love thieves

Definitely for DM. My CD/DVD/VHS collection is over run by both bands (DM/NO). Although I would have to say (even the some die hard fans would have to agree) DM is a bit better live.

There SHITE

Master and Servant's a fairly good track by them.

Fucking love em! Always have! Have WAY too many CD/DVD/LPs of theirs...and NO ONE can talk me outta them...they're Grrrrrreat!!

Not a bad band at all, shame it took me so long to get into em.

Wouldn't it be great if DM and NO both released their new albums within weeks of each other, and both are on par with Black Celebration or Violator, or Low Life or Technique

Oh, thank God, another great band. In fact, I've never really made up my mind between NO or DM. I guess it depends on the mood I'm in. My favorite album is Songs of faith and devotion. Oh, my God, I just can't get enough of Walking in my shoes and Mercy in you

I'm a bit tired of Depeche Mode's singles so I'm not especially excited about their new remix collection. That being said, they have a ton of lower profile tracks that are excellent.

Off the top of my head:

But Not Tonight The Things You Said Halo Waiting For the Night Blue Dress Judas The Bottom Line When the Body Speaks

They are Gay ! errr

I still remember a 1990 review saying about 'Violator': "Imagine New Order playing Muddy Waters";)

By the way, I once asked Dave Gahan to sing 'I just Can't Get Enough' for the encore and he did. But somehow he was pissed off - all the people were screaming out Martin, no voice for poor Dave. Actually I like their B-sides and decently made remixes (like 'Enjoy The Silence', 'Rush').

The Things you Said is an excellent, underrated track. But, they're still mostly a singles band.

Mostlty a Gay Band you mean
