S'kay-whatever. I'm not writing anything offensive and if longtime members' don't understand=NBD!

Plus, maybe somebody else who's new will understand and be glad to find that something.

Stranger things've happened.

Violator is "unassailable".

They've got only 2-3 disappointing albums. The rest is good to great.

Only album I've heard in full and own is Violator, which is pretty good.

Never gotten around to hearing much of their other stuff.

Violator is indeed great.

Yup. I once did a nearly 45 minute live remix of Enjoy the Silence.
A guy named Randall taped over the cassette copy of it.
Really pissed me off. Still wish I had it.

For all D.M. Violator fans:

Best live: Devotional tour

"Enjoy"...

Black Celebration, Some Great Reward, Ultra, Exciter, Delta Machine, Spirit. All of those are among my favorites and it's hard to pick. Songs of Faith and Devotion is also good, but I need to listen to it more (it was one of the last DM albums I got my hands on).

Depeche Mode is amazing!
They were the first of their kind of music, they are so unique and dark and awesome!

My favorite album of theirs is Playing the Angel.
