If I had to pick any one album as my favorite... I'd have to go with "Ultra".

Never got into them, I always associated them with gay guys, emo kids and moody chicks. I was more of a metal guy  Anybody got a link to the Venture Bros 'Yard Sale' clip?  I love that scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeCW_u6j8Ps&feature=related I was mostly a metal guy in the 80s, but I thought Depeche Mode has some really good songs. |

'some great reward' was one of the first tapes i ever bought. also like speak and spell, black celebration, and MftM. really didn't care too much for the stuff after that. favorite songs: -never let me down (101 version) -but not tonight -everything counts (101) -just can't get enough -stripped -shake the disease just hit wiki, and found an interesting note––both crystal method and linkin park cite DM as a significant influence. |

Interesting, as the usual cutoff for people is between Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion. While it all retains a very DM feel to it, the most defined transition is there (instead of between Music for the Masses and Violator). Quoted:

And speaking of covers/remixes... Rammstein's version of Stripped is also good - albeit different - and by all accounts, DM agrees (that it is good). |

I liked Lacuna Coil's remake of, "Enjoy The Silence" too. Depeche Mode is a big influence behind the entire NDH genre  The members of Oomph!, the band who started NDH, are all big Depeche Mode fans, and you can hear it quite a bit in some of their early work.
Edit: For those that don't know, NDH is the genre that Rammstein also plays in. A whole genre of music has been inspired by DM's work. Pretty cool, imo. |

one of the only badass things that came out of the eighties. any fans? I took my little sister to see them at the Paladium in Hollywood back in the early 80s. I can't recall whether Vince Clarke was still with them before going on to form Yazhoo. I like them and used to play them a lot on a radio show I did back then. I like that period of music, from the Clash to PiL, to the Cure and Depche Mode. I've got a lot of LPs from that time and it's always good to break them out and spin them. Chris |

Chris I think Vince hooked up with Alison Moyet in early '85 and they formed Yaz....in '86 Vince hooked up with Andy Bell and formed Erasure. I think my dates are close.... HH |
