The Obligatory Depeche Mode thread

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Eno’s name came up once, but then he started working with Coldplay so we couldn’t do that even if it was a possibility.

I hate being this age. Friends, family and people I admire are leaving us much sooner than I would like. My understanding is Fletch was the glue that kept DM together. Kept Martin L Gore at ease.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Would you believe it, I have no records by DM - and yet this massive thread suggests there's overlap and I might like them. Go on then - which album should I buy if I were tempted to dip my toe in. I do like the pervy master and servant record though - though don't read too much into that, obviously.

I think Black Celebration is regarded as their masterpiece probably followed by Violator and Music For the Masses.

I like Some Great Reward the best.

Life is one huge disappointment my friend. If you believe 90% of Depeche Mode’s output.
