You put me to shame with your variety, I`ve always listened to a looooooot of stuff, but its mostly always been within the paramerters of rock, pop and metal.

The nearest I ever got to reggae was some Bob Marley stuff and the Clash! The nearest I ever got to soul was Hall and Oates!

Thats not very near Reggae. You should check out the reggae section here, lots of good suggestions. While i normally would say something about Hall and Oates i just can't. They were dominating the charts in the early 80's and my mom absolutely loved those guys. Plus i've met the John Oates via work and hes one hell of a nice guy.

I think we are straying from the topic as Mode has nothing to do with RNB.
If you can make a connection from R&B to New Romanticism and then somehow connect Depeche Mode to that, then yeah they can be germane to said argument at hand.

I did notice that. Actually mentioned in a previous post how depeche mode wasn't very rnb, but i'm sure Dave and Martin have karaoke'd some Motown in their day. This thread has gone every which way to Sunday indeed.
