Ok, well I listen to most kinds of music, from current to the 1920's and everything in between. I've often heard of this band (mostly on here) but I don't recognize a single song. What gives?

When I was running my Jody game, the songs would be more sexy. Maybe more like The Yeastie Girls or Lords of Acid. But yeah, the original song might be good for land grabbing.

Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode!!!

I see what you're saying and I agree. Personally I'm not a big fan of DM prior to Some Great Reward, but they really hit their stride to me on Black Celebration View Quote Yeah, the earlier stuff is weaker. There're some solid tracks in there, but I don't listen to those entire albums as much as SGR and onward. (Best stuff from the first three albums? New Life, Nodisco, Just Can't Get Enough, Leave in Silence, Love in Itself, Everything Counts. Which is pretty much all of the singles from those albums. (Oh, and also from that era, there's Get the Balance Right, a single that is just excellent.) |

View Quote Yeah, I'm the same way. I like all sorts of shit. Just tonight, we've bounced around playing Youtube Roulette, and we've listened to the Doobie Brothers, 3 Doors Down, Snoop Dogg, Louis Armstrong, Sammy, Dean, Frank, and Johnny (gotta post that one), and much other shit. But I don't know shit about Depeche Mode. Anyway, Heeeeeeere's Johnny! Betcha didn't know he could sing. Rat Pack - Birth of the Blues (Live) Earl sez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK7tq4RdH1I |

Most of their fan base in the 80s was trench coat wearing Darias, they were almost entirely underground in the US. They got a lot more popular in the 90s.
They were synth innovators and good music writers. Most of their stuff would sound less femmy and anemic if played across guitars, etc. |

Robert Smith (The Cure) is better, but Depeche Mode had some good songs.

Obligatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu4JbvTCfvE Huge DM fan here. Already have their new album pre-ordered through Amazon and am eagerly awaiting the US tour dates. Exciter is probably one of the worst albums to judge them from, OP. As stated, Violator is really good. I am also partial to Songs of Faith and Devotion. Really, I love pretty much all of their albums, with the possible exception of A Broken Frame, which is the weakest - and they acknowledge as such. Exciter doesn't get as much playtime for me either, but more than ABF. View Quote David Bowie Tribute | The Venture Bros. | Adult Swim |

Great band! The 80s had some amazing music, too bad it was mostly overshadowed by shit bands. The departure from the styles of the 70s was so abrupt it's fascinating.

Depeche Mode
Tears For Fears The Cure The Smiths The Human League Morrissey New Order Pet Shop Boys Eurythmics Howard Jones Thompson Twins Echo and the Bunnymen Simple Minds Yaz Erasure And any number of others in that sphere of music, however my musical taste was more expansive than that. Depche Mode got the most airplay on my Sony Walkman. |

Banged my leftover HS girlfriend to "Enjoy the Silence" in my dorm room with the blacklight on before her dad picked her up out front at the start of my freshmen year of college.
I'm a "fan". Taxi service was appreciated daddio. Even better because it was a 4 hour drive round trip. |
