Depeche Mode

[Mojooo]

Bit different to what I normally listen to

I see Depeche Mode are playing O2 next month - anyone recommend some of there best tsuff? And also stuff they will likely play at these shows

[telecat]

If it's mainly material from "Sounds of the Universe" Then "Wrong", "Miles Away", "Jezabel" and "Corrupt" are ones that stick out. As for anything else... I haven't got the room! My Favourites include "Blasphemous Rumor", "Stripped", "In My Shoes" and I could go on for quite some time......

Anything after Vince left was dissapointing

[Libertine]

I went to see them for the first time a few years ago, 2 days after seeing The Cure for the first time. And although I prefer The Cure's music, Depeche Mode were better. Dave Gahan is a great front man. It will be a good show..even in an awful venue like the O2.

Here's a setlist they played last night in Italy. Recent gigs have been fairly similar, bar a few additions/subtractions..

I'm young () and haven't heard much by them, but Mike Shinoda did a remix of their song "Break the silence" which i quite like

I'm fairly young, but after watching an 80s tribute act last month thought I'd get their greatest hits. It is a great album!

[telecat]

They are one of the eighties stand out bands with a back catalogue that just is amazing.

Start with Music for the Masses.

[Deerfoot]

Songs of Faith and Devotion is pretty damn fine too.

I'd say start with Violator then Music for the Masses, personally.

Indeed Violator is pretty much perfect, Songs of Faith and Devotion is a blooming good listen as well. The new album is very good (Sounds of the Universe) but as mentioned above they only play 3-4 tracks from this during the set so get yourself the best of albums.

They are fantastic live and cant wait as seeing them in Brum and the O2.

Glasgow SECC a week on Saturday - soo excited

[clonmult]

Was never a big fan of DM back in the early 80s (was more of a Duran fan), but of the last ten years I've started to appreciate them considerably more (I've grown up, but still a Duran fan!).

I can listen to Personal Jesus on repeat for the whole of a 1 hour session on the treadmill. Utterly fantastic track.

I should dig through my old CDs, sure I had a copy of Barrel of a Gun somewhere.

Quite. 'Speak and Spell' then, well, nothing really.

So only the very early 80's pop bit of their work then. I like all I have heard from Depeche Mode but Violator, Some Great reward and Playing the angel are my favourites.

Yeah, proper Depeche Mode. I even pronounce it correctly! I'm such a snob!

[Alfanatic]

Some Great Reward was always my favourite, pipping Construction Time Again.

Violator is also good the whole way through, it took me a while to warm to it but it's quite a unique album.

101 is also really good.

Absolutely fanflippintastic last night at the SECC!

[Morningside]

One of my favories cassettes (remember them!) was "The Singles 81 -> 85", which I DID purchase in about 1986.
Now have it on CD - whoooo, modern technology.
