Depeche Mode (favorite song, single, albums, covers, orchestra)

crimepartner · 07-23-2006, 01:22 AM

I feel like people are missing out on depeche mode or I might be missing out on newer stuff, however I downloaded "Free love" and it is worth checking out. its from the albulm Ultra which overall is sexy/romantic.
Its weird to like music that is so old yet so good. most people that like the same music are always like " o yeah I used to like them in high school, their still around?."

My favorite song by them is probably macrocosms from their latest album Playing the Angel

However I don't think they're anything much to write home about. But they arepretty good. And I'm suprised by how much I like thier latest album. Although their earlier stuff is still better and maybe a tad overrated since Marilyn Manson did a cover of their song Personal Jesus. And I'm not too upset to admit that I like the cover better than the original. Although not by much.

Richard Cheese does a rather good version too.

I like "nothings impossible" from that album the most.

just saw them for the first time ever! LOVED it! I've not paid much attention to their recent albums but have loved them for over 15 years...

They are loads of awesome. Just plain great band. Every album I've gave a listen is great. And could some fanboy tell what album/ep the cover of Tainted Love is on?

Same here although I havn't heard all their stuff yet, What I have listened to so far I find to be pretty Awesome and addictive

tainted love? never even knew they did a cover until now. Google only brings it back as a single. I don't think it was on an album or I'd have it...

This is a band that has more stuff out there than you can ever get... I have a full album of their songs done by a full orchestra and 2-3 albums of covers by other bands... some good stuff in there...

I didn't think it existed till rt and I found it. I thought it might've been on record company compilation so I emailed them asking for the tracklist and they replied "scheduled for release early next year" which makes no sense. I suppose it was just a single so, thanks.

I'm listening to Suffer Well right now. I like this song as much as I like their earlier stuff (if not more). Bands that keep up the same standards over such long periods of time are quite hard to find, I think.
