The Obligatory Depeche Mode thread

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

Yay! Merci, Madame.

The Landscape Is Changing gets my vote. Maybe it was best Wilder's songwriting contributions were left to a minimum.

What a preachy pile of doo-doo.


I love that song, especially the outro. I also really like If You Want from Some Great Reward, the fade out is pure Wilder genius.

Stinkers -

A Photograph Of You
What's Your Name? (possibly their worst song ever...Thanks alot Vince)
New Dress (sounds OK but the lyrics are beyond cringeworthy)
It's Called A Heart
All of Exciter apart from Shine
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

I love What's Your Name? and a Photograph of You (actually form 2:15 on).

I do like "If You Want". Probably my second favorite song on Some Great Reward.

Why from 2.15 on, is that when you finish work?

I'm finished with work about five minutes after I clock in. 6000 posts don't write themselves.
