Any lurking Depeche Mode fans?

[U2DeathBear]

anybody else here a fan of DP?

 

[U2DeathBear]

oops...i mean dm

 

[Mirrorball Man]

You mean "80's synth pop band" Depeche Mode don't you.
Yes, I'm a DM fan.

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

yep, I'm a DM fan all the way.
"Violator" is hands down one of the best synth pop albums ever.

 

[HelloAngel]

I looooove DM. Martin Gore is amazing.

 

[Bonochick]

I DM!! After U2, I have more albums by them than anybody else.

 

[Sicy]

 

[u2popmofo]

I like.

I agree with HeadsOnSticks (like always), 'Violator' is the best.

 

[Mirrorball Man]

I can't choose a favourite album. Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion are their best imo, with Ultra and Music for the Masses very close behind.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

me. i am a big fan!

 

[Squid]

Violator =

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Good stuff

 

[Elvis Presley]

I really like Depressed Mode ....seriously, great band...

 

[AcrobatMan]

did you know that all initial DM band members were cancerians..
just like me..

I like DM

 

[Bunbury]

They are without a doubt excellent. Them and U2 and a few other bands from the 80's.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I know a few songs, mostly the hits and stuff.

 

[womanfish]

Songs of Faith and Devotion and Ultra are my faves, then probably Violator after that. Seen them a few times live and they were quite good.

I remember waiting between Zooropa and POP for a new U2 album and getting very impatient and thinking, maybe DM could be my new favorite band??? It was only a passing thought, but I do love em.

Let Me See You Stripped!!!

 

[Mirrorball Man]

Let Me See You Stripped!!!

Oh no, not strippers in this post as well.

 

[DrTeeth]

You should hear the Rammstein version of 'Stripped'.

Anyway, Ultra and Songs of Faith and Devotion Live are my favourites.

 

[cass]

people are people so why should it be
you and I should get along so awkwardly?
it's obvious you hate me though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you so what could I have done?

or is that just a blasphemous rumour?

Classic

back in the day, there was an Australian band that emulated them called "Big Pig". They tried, but not near as good as the original.

Stripped
Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you crying
Just for me

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were open

Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquility

Fancy song

I've always liked 'Things You Said'

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I have too many favorites to mention.

Does anyone have their video collection? My ex-best friend bought it 2 years ago and we laughed our asses off at some of them.

 

[Mirrorball Man]

Mercy in You

You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you

I can?t conceal
The way I?m healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you

I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

Superb lyrics.

no i don't have their video collection, however my best friend and i in high school were massive fans of Depeche Mode probably more so than U2. we were determined to go follow them around on tour. lol we had our own videos that we did to Depeche Mode songs.

Music For The Masses, Violator, 101 and Catching Up With Depeche Mode holds a very special part in my teenage life.
