it's synth pop. new wave is stuff like the police, talking heads, xtc, blondie. @EskWIRED Electropop is an EDM subgenre. @GBGB_1977 there's no punk in depeche mode's music and Electro is more funky and upbeat.
@ I was speaking off the cuff with the Beatles and Stones in mind🤷♀️ But there are arguments for probably 20 great bands to fight for top 3 depending on individual tastes😊✌️
Depeche Mode 80's Royalty 👑, the song's that started my new wave quest "Just Can't Get Enough " and "People are People" loved this Great new sound. Peace 😊✌️ Gary "Personal Jesus" a hit, Today you did 4 great song's Thank you 👌 it's four thumbs up👍 👍 👍 👍! Also Thankyou Brit's for sending us so many great groups in the 80's😅
Dave Gahan (singer) is one of music's great survivors. He very nearly died, the heroin had a really, really big bad hold on him. He not only recovered, this video is of him post recovery. A remarkable strength to come back from those depths, back to the top again. I have endless respect for recovering addicts.
@CBGB_1977 I'm GenX and Freddie Mercury is my Freddie Mercury! I don't really see the comparison, other than the basic thing that they're both great front men. And I guess they both partied hard. But not in the same way! Dave would take the comparison as a huge compliment though I'm sure 🙂.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 and unlike many bands out there, he is singing 100% live vocals🙌🙌 I saw them in 1994 and again about 6 years ago. They absolutely killed it both times. Two of the best shows I’ve ever been to🔥
Dave actually had one of the more humorous experiences with addiction. Having a Bugs Bunny doll chained to your front door because it keeps 'moving' and dragging your TV into your closet to watch the Weather Channel for hours on end. Honorable mention to the Cowardly Lion statue for taking fire. 😂
Now we're talking. The pride of England. This is a rabbit hole you'll never get out of. You just have to check out NEVER LET ME DOWN live in Barcelona! The most epic live performance EVER!
I'm 56 y/o, and still so proud of the music that I grew up with and how it's stood up for so long. How many new songs of the 2020's will be played forty or fifty years from now? And here you have a song from 1989 getting added to playlists today and generating excitement. Glad you're loving our music, MollyBoyTV! We've still got a lot more for you.
My favorite thing about 80s new wave is that it has gotten better with time. During the 80s, at least in pop and rock, there was a bit of division. You had fans of what would become classic rock, people inspired by the 70s. Then there was glam rock and the proto new metal. Of course there was overlap between those two groups, lots of it. Then, finally, there was new wave, and not a ton of overlap. There were radio stations that would play Deep Purple and Def Leppard but if you wanted to hear Echo and the Bunnymen you needed to spin the dial. At the time, the criticism of new wave was that it was 'soft' as compared to rock, with absolutely no commentary on the quality. Now, of course, with people our age, the overlap in fans for all of those genres is near complete. Nearly all of us would be happy with a radio station that went from Boston to Metallica to Tear for Fears. More, though, in terms of artistic merit, new wave has finally gotten its due. For my money anyways, new wave is much more timeless than that late 80s glam rock.
I’m so with you. I wish kids these days would have as much fun as we did with great friends, parties, great music, movies, hair 😆 instead of sitting in front of a computer all day and hating life.
Dave Gahan is an amazing front man! The crowds love him. Check out their live performance of “never let me down again”. It’s up there with this performance. “Personal Jesus” is a banger too
Love this! There is a whole culture of this era, this music. Tears For Fears, Simply Red, U2, INXS…all should be checked out! I see you falling hard! :)
I was born in 1972...in High School, this was my favorite band, I listened to all kinds of music, from Slayer to Tchaikovsky (band geek, played trombone and tuba) , I got to see them live at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, in 1990. I am so glad you have finally gotten here, so nostalgic! Check out 'Master and Servant', 'People are People', 'Personal Jesus'....really? any of their early catalogue.
D🌹M has been my favorite band since the 80s. I am a Devotee big time. I have seen them several times in concert. The feelings that they give you are euphoric live. They are the BEST. Go down that rabbit hole, you won't regret it.
The whole violater album that this is from is pure genius. I got into Depeche because i loved electronica and thats the sound they started with and they always kept that electronic thread❤❤❤❤
Man, Depish Mode is so cool! I'm getting nostalgic for these guys. Thanks 💞💞💞, Molly. Next time you like it, you can do “depeche mode personal jesus.” ❤❤❤
Depeche Mode is a mix of 80s industrial rock, nu-wave, synth-pop, and goth. Goths love them, metalheads love them, and pop listeners love them too. Enjoy the Silence is technically synth-pop or synth rock. And they are British. And from the 80s into the 90s. But came out with a new album last year. My favorite song is Everything Counts. I heard that song first as a cover by a Swedish Death Metal band. Personal Jesus is a favorite of mine too. Depeche Mode is the most covered band in the world. Enjoy the Silence is the most covered song ever in history. Every modern band from emo to gothic to swedish death metal has either covered this song or covered another Depeche Mode song.
IMO, when the crowd sings the bands song(s) like that, it’s pure love. It’s love from the fans to the band and love from the band back to the fans. It’s such an incredible feeling to be a part of it. I’ve been to a bunch of concerts and shed many tears when this happens. That’s why i go to concerts. To be in room of complete strangers yet we all have something in common, love for the band.
Their “101” performance at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in front of 60,000 fans is iconic. Whatever song you choose next, if the “101 version” is an option, you can’t go wrong.
Depeche Mode was something I shared with my younger brother (one of the few groups we both loved to listen to). He died last Fall and so listening to this now both brings back good memories and lots of tears.
TRUE STORY when i was young (a long time ago) I saw these geniuses at Hammersmith Odeon London they started their set and everyone started dancing about . 15mins in David stopped, security were trying to stop people upstairs from standing up. he got the spot light and shone it on the guard and in the politest way told him to F off they have paid money to come and dance. security guard scurries away not to be seen again and the group go back into their set to loud loud cheers. great time was had by all.
I'm 70...and I have a shoe box full of concert ticket stubs from dozens of concerts I went to from 1967 until now. Last rock concert was my 50th birthday and saw THE ROLLING STONES!!!!😎😎👍🏼👍🏼❤❤
Usually this kind of music is not my style. I love Depeche Mode though. With Dave Gahan a real character as lead singer. For a while it didn't look good for him back then. But he got himself together and they are still here. Lots of great tracks. An underrated and not too popular one is the later "It's No Good" with a fantastic music video in my opinion.
I can’t wait. Saw them a couple years ago with my daughter. It had been on my bucket list since the 80’s..lol 😅 then to come full circle and share them with my kids.❤❤❤
This particular video is spectacular. Dave Gahan is one of the best front men in the business. Their mvs are artsy and cool. Their music is legendary. Fasten your seat belt!!❤
Depeche Mode, New Order and Duran Duran are my favorite New Wave bands! You need to do ‘Black Celebration’, ‘Policy of Truth’ , ‘Never Let You Down’ and ‘Precious’ by Depeche Mode next!!!!!
My 3rd fave band of all time, been following them since 1984. They are insanely fantastic live. Dave Gahan's one of the best frontmen of all time, he can make an audience do whatever he wants. Check out a live version of Never Let Me Down Again if you want to see more incredible audience participation.
Nice pick, mate. Iconic song by an iconic band with an iconic performance. I wouldn't consider myself as a big fan, but they do have some damn good songs.
Hi from Galicia ( north of Spain). I love Depeche Mode and Simple Minds. The best of 80's british music for me, even they still make great music today. You must react Simple Minds songs "Alive and kicking" and " Love Song" and " never let me down again" and "world in my eyes" of DM. Thank you for your videos.
YES, my favorite band of all time. Saw them perform last year - it was a great experience! Although my fav DM song is 'Stripped', i'd suggest 'Never let me down again' next.
You could actually call Depeche Mode industrial as People are People really put them on the map with an industrial sound. They are legendary, I have seen them live many times, always the best experience. You've only dipped your pinky toe into their catalog and picked a great song and performance to start with. Keep going, do the entire Violator album, you will not be disappointed!! 💙🤟💙
So glad you’re getting to experience the music I grew up with! Just shows you how talented, creative and fantastic music singers and writers were. It’s so fun to watch your pure joy and love. ❤
Always makes me SO happy to see yet another “kid” discovering a band like Depeche Mode. April 2023 I had to move mountains to get to San Antonio, TX, nine hrs from my home in central Arkansas, and overcome a list of other complications and hurdles, but I managed to see them at the beginning of their last tour, and was really impressed with how much energy they still have onstage. Dave is still the ultimate frontman, still all over the stage throughout-he always manages to hold the audience in his palm the whole time. I knew there would be a sizable number of younger fans-I’d say about 30% (at least) were under 30. They’re still popular with younger people, like my 17 year old, who has grown up being introduced to this from both parents, and really loving it. She was actually the one who was supposed to go w/me-but of course something had to screw that up and keep her from being able to go. (Obviously I still went and loved the show, but just wish she’d been there w/me.)
I love it when young people discover their grandfather's music. You have to be careful, you quickly become addicted to "Dépèche Mode" and the music of the Grandparents. Thank you to life for allowing me to be young in the 70s-80s-90s, it was pure musical happiness.
It took me a few years to appreciate how good Depeche mode is. I was a due hard rock/ metal guy and wouldn't listen to much else. Their full live Paris show on TH-cam from a few years ago is definitely worth checking out. In fact from the thumbnail I think it is from that show.
My favorite band of The 60’s - The Doors The 70’s - Pink Floyd The 80’s - Depeche Mode The 90’s - Radiohead My favorite band of all time - DEPECHE MODE. It is the soundtrack of my life.
I already commented but I’m very passionate about them. Seeing them in concert was one of the most exciting experiences I’ve had. Their 88 concert at the Rose bowl , was the most attended bowl concert at the time. They are revolutionary in the industrial pop rock genre. You could dedicate an entire channel to their career.
Just subscibed. I'm almost 72 and since the 60's, the British have dominated music. There are many quality rock bands from the U.S. but, to me, the brits take the prize consistantly.
Finally, welcome to the world of real musicians and what I call "Superstars". If you wanna enjoy the full range of Daves voice, then be free to listen to their song "Condemnation". Goosebumps every time!👌
Dude! Get ready for a huge rabbit hole here. Depeche Mode is a good introduction to what we used to call it in the 80s, New Wave. This will lead you to: The Cure (a personal favorite), The Smiths, Morrissey, New Order...just to name a few and I AM HERE FOR IT! 🎉🎉
It's so good to see more people getting into Depeche mode, I've followed them since they formed in 1980, and been a fan club member since then...you have a treat coming when you start to listen to their back catalogue
I've been a DM fan for many years. I've had the pleasure of seeing them in concert 9 times. It is an amazing experience. To me, they are one of the greatest bands ever, but seeing them live is where they really shine. Everyone in the crowd sings along with Dave on every song and on stage Dave takes his performance to another level.
I'm always happy when I see someone stumble across Depeche Mode and respond the way you do. This band is one of those bands that are a soundtrack to my life. I live in Australia and have frequently travelled internationally just to see these guys tour. You can't go wrong with any track from 'Black Celebration', 'Music For The Masses', 'Violator', or 'Songs Of Faith and Devotion'. These guys are just legends!
Declan you have just witnessed musical religion. Depeche Mode is not just music they are an experience I’ve been lucky enough to see 3 times im my life. I suggest going down the rabbit hole you’ll never want to leave
Personal Jesus next please! British alternative/New Wave (mid 80s-early 90s) is my sweet spot - it is SUCH a vibe. New Order, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, The Waterboys, early U2, and more
There is not a bad DM song. The rabbit hole is real. I was 16 when this song was first out. I’m 50 now. 😊 I saw them live in vegas on their Playing the Angel tour. They are amazing!! Try People Are People, Personal Jesus, Strangelove, Master and Servant among others. ❤ Dave Gahan is one of the sexiest front men ever. Martin Gore writes the songs and sings lead sometimes like Home, Somebody etc
The whole Violator album is spectacular.
🌹
100%
Absolutely an album to be heard from beginning to end, on repeat.
Cleanest production on an album in that period, not a single lemon
It's definitely one of my top 10 albums
This kid is like a kid in a candy store discovering our music from back in the day, kind of fun to see a young guy get into it
So so good, and this music stays with you forever
I wish I could go back to those days. We had so much fun! 🎉
@@FlutterbyXOX1 It was the time of my youth, and hell yeah it was the best time of my life! I'm a 58 yo German and I don't wanna miss this time!
He's diving into his parents' youth. Must be irritating for him somehow.
Agreed. It makes my day every time.
"Personal Jesus" has to be the next one you do. The music video is the way to go.
No it's NOT. Then he will miss the epic one minute jam session at the end. Album version 100 times better!
There is a line dance for personal Jesus.
Oh yes please.
Then "Never Let me down"
@@bifferoni14agreed, it's one hell of an outro!
Out the same time as the cure, the cult, midnight oil, simply red, U2, INXS, Tears for fears, New order, Duran Duran. All worthy of a listen!
New Order.. Blue Monday is a must
Indeed, Duran Duran “Save a Prayer.”
Yes to all of these!
Such a shame you didn't mentioned Talk Talk...
At the time, the genre was named 'Post-Punk New Wave Modern Music'...
Depeche Mode is a great rabbit hole to go down!
I would consider this “New Wave”
Definitely 80s New Wave like New Order, Talk Talk, The Cure and Psychadelic Furs.
Or Electro-pop, an offshoot/important part of New Wave.
New wave / post-punk / electro
it's no rabbit hole... it's the friggin Grand Canyon
it's synth pop. new wave is stuff like the police, talking heads, xtc, blondie.
@EskWIRED Electropop is an EDM subgenre.
@GBGB_1977 there's no punk in depeche mode's music and Electro is more funky and upbeat.
Never Let Me Down Again
Such an epic classic
I 2nd this
Another great song
Yep
They’re pro, dad
Depeche is from Basildon, UK. And one of the most influential bands in history.
Yeah, I’d have to say in the top 3 UK bands ever.
And Canvey Island. I grew up nearby in Essex.
@@brandeebeckfitness8121 with who else? If your answer isn't Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, me and you is going to fall out 🙃.
@ I was speaking off the cuff with the Beatles and Stones in mind🤷♀️ But there are arguments for probably 20 great bands to fight for top 3 depending on individual tastes😊✌️
@@jonnylumberjack6223DAF and The Smiths come to mind.
This is one of the bands that defined the 80s. You can't overstate their influence throughout the decade.
Yes! And my other favorite, The Cars
Agree 💯

Peace 😊✌️ Gary "Personal Jesus" a hit, Today you did 4 great song's Thank you 👌 it's four thumbs up👍 👍 👍 👍! Also Thankyou Brit's for sending us so many great groups in the 80's😅

He was basically legally dead 3 times. He is here for a reason! He’s GenX’s Freddie Mercury.
@CBGB_1977 I'm GenX and Freddie Mercury is my Freddie Mercury! I don't really see the comparison, other than the basic thing that they're both great front men. And I guess they both partied hard. But not in the same way! Dave would take the comparison as a huge compliment though I'm sure 🙂.

This one is a MUST!!!
Definate !!

The song I love the most! Studio version has the best stereo I know. Eargasm.

Dave Gahan is an amazing front man! The crowds love him. Check out their live performance of “never let me down again”. It’s up there with this performance. “Personal Jesus” is a banger too
Depeche Mode are iconic for the 80s, so is the song People are People, I think it established their unique sound.
THIS❤❤❤
So glad you are going into this era !!! Also a MUST - THE CURE, JOY DIVISION, SIOUXIE and THE BANSHEES !!!!!! All incredible 🔥
Post punk🖤
Totally agree on The Cure, especially Just Like Heaven and also Lovesong
Bit of New Order too.
Great call for Joy Division and can't forget their metamorphosis New Order
Good call on Joy Division
I saw them last fall! ❤ nothing’s changed, he still twirls around the stage.. 🎉❤
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough
Hell yeah! 🎉
💯
My favorate Depache Mode song
Welcome to the world of New Wave. Synth...Depeche Mode, one of the few iconic groups that created the new wave synth genre of the 80s! Love my 80s!❤
Such an 80’s vibe. Whenever I hear Depeche Mode or Tears for Fears I’m tea spy immediately back to the 80’s
Tears for Fears are amazing too!
You should start a dark wave band called Tea Spy
Oh my god, you have a rabbit hole here.They have been around since 1981 and are absolutely amazing live.
Love this! There is a whole culture of this era, this music. Tears For Fears, Simply Red, U2, INXS…all should be checked out! I see you falling hard! :)
I was born in 1972...in High School, this was my favorite band, I listened to all kinds of music, from Slayer to Tchaikovsky (band geek, played trombone and tuba) , I got to see them live at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, in 1990.

Born in 72 and absolutely agree!
Well, I was born a decade earlier than you but I loved the eighties music! Also, fellow band geek here... bassoon and clarinet were my jam.)
Born in 73 and that was my first concert ( Dodger Stadium) at age 16. It was an amazing show!
I saw them in 1993 at Crystal Palace in the UK. It was excellent. We missed the last train home and ended up crashing at the station! Great memories.
I was a Devotee the first time I heard them and continue to be one to this day.
“Devotees” are hardcore Depeche Mode fans.
you think it would be fans of Devo. Seems like a better fit. Moders was out?
@@JourneyofOne971I know, right? Haha! But we are ride or die devoted to Depeche Mode 🖤
D🌹M has been my favorite band since the 80s. I am a Devotee big time. I have seen them several times in concert. The feelings that they give you are euphoric live. They are the BEST. Go down that rabbit hole, you won't regret it.
Always awesome to connect with another Devotee. 🖤♥️
The whole violater album that this is from is pure genius. I got into Depeche because i loved electronica and thats the sound they started with and they always kept that electronic thread❤❤❤❤
Blows my mind when someone says they’ve never heard of Depeche Mode … especially in the UK.
Man, Depish Mode is so cool! I'm getting nostalgic for these guys. Thanks 💞💞💞, Molly. Next time you like it, you can do “depeche mode personal jesus.” ❤❤❤
you're right.
+
Definitely Personal Jesus
So nostalgic right now... Policy of Truth is a good one, People are People, It's No Good are all some of my favorites
Yeah, it has been nearly 40 years after living with a Depeche Mode fan and I am finally able to appreciate them again. 🤣
I’ve seen them 6 times and I just can’t get enough ❤
Looking forward to seeing you react to one of THE best live performances you'll ever witness. Flawless vocals, Dave Gahan is mesmerising 🔥 🔥🔥

101 nothing. Brilliant
It was called New Wave. Late 80s, early 90s. Personal Jesus is their most iconic song.
It is the best song, that little chime at the start !! Loved it then, love it now 💕
Dave Gahan is an amazing frontman and absolute loves getting the audience involved. Imagine the chills being there in person. It’s amazing.
Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again ( Tour of the Universe Live In Barcelona 2009). This is another iconic live performance.
Depeche Mode was something I shared with my younger brother (one of the few groups we both loved to listen to). He died last Fall and so listening to this now both brings back good memories and lots of tears.
The whole Violator album is a vibe. The layering of the synths is fantastic the whole album through.

I wouldn't consider myself as a big fan, but they do have some damn good songs.
Words like violence break the silence...❤ I relate to this so much, as many of us do.
Wow! I’ve only heard the studio version. This is great!!
Yeah same enjoyed this a lots because of the "live vibe "
Surprised me because I'm not really into this 80s style

Personal Jesus
Also for another band that was a contemporary of Depeche Mode : INXS - New Sensation. Its fkn great.
YES, my favorite band of all time. Saw them perform last year - it was a great experience!
Although my fav DM song is 'Stripped', i'd suggest 'Never let me down again' next.
Good call. Better yet, *both* (;
@mctrashpedal Agree with that!
Violator album for Depeche Mode is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
Have loved Depeche Mode since they first came on the scene. Thanks for all your reactions today. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
The concert experience of a beloved band that you’ve moved through life with is a great experience. Definitely make the effort
Maybe you should take a look at INXS also, "New Sensation" would be a good one to start.
You could actually call Depeche Mode industrial as People are People really put them on the map with an industrial sound. They are legendary, I have seen them live many times, always the best experience. You've only dipped your pinky toe into their catalog and picked a great song and performance to start with. Keep going, do the entire Violator album, you will not be disappointed!! 💙🤟💙
So glad you’re getting to experience the music I grew up with! Just shows you how talented, creative and fantastic music singers and writers were. It’s so fun to watch your pure joy and love. ❤
Always makes me SO happy to see yet another “kid” discovering a band like Depeche Mode. April 2023 I had to move mountains to get to San Antonio, TX, nine hrs from my home in central Arkansas, and overcome a list of other complications and hurdles, but I managed to see them at the beginning of their last tour, and was really impressed with how much energy they still have onstage. Dave is still the ultimate frontman, still all over the stage throughout-he always manages to hold the audience in his palm the whole time.
I knew there would be a sizable number of younger fans-I’d say about 30% (at least) were under 30. They’re still popular with younger people, like my 17 year old, who has grown up being introduced to this from both parents, and really loving it. She was actually the one who was supposed to go w/me-but of course something had to screw that up and keep her from being able to go. (Obviously I still went and loved the show, but just wish she’d been there w/me.)
You're in for a fantastic treat with this one. That head of yours will be nodding big time! Enjoy, I definitely will❤
I love it when young people discover their grandfather's music. You have to be careful, you quickly become addicted to "Dépèche Mode" and the music of the Grandparents. Thank you to life for allowing me to be young in the 70s-80s-90s, it was pure musical happiness.
It took me a few years to appreciate how good Depeche mode is. I was a due hard rock/ metal guy and wouldn't listen to much else. Their full live Paris show on TH-cam from a few years ago is definitely worth checking out. In fact from the thumbnail I think it is from that show.
Berlin...
@kharius1 another good one ...was it from the same tour ?
One of the best Live performances Ever!
OMG. This takes me back...my sister and I were such fans!!!! LOVE this song.....hope you like it too.
I saw them in concert for this tour back in December 2023. The entire crowd sang along. You'd have to experience it live to totally appreciate.
Depeche Mode was my favorite band when I was a kid in the 80s, and into the 90s.🙀🥁
My favorite band of
The 60’s - The Doors
The 70’s - Pink Floyd
The 80’s - Depeche Mode
The 90’s - Radiohead
My favorite band of all time - DEPECHE MODE. It is the soundtrack of my life.
Great band! I have fond memories listening to them as a kid and teenager.
Enjoy watching the concerts. Add the studio version to the Playlist.
Love the Playlist myboy!
Love love LOVE this band! We all listened, loved, danced to Depeche Mode in the 80’s! I still listen to them all the time! Enjoy! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
I already commented but I’m very passionate about them. Seeing them in concert was one of the most exciting experiences I’ve had. Their 88 concert at the Rose bowl , was the most attended bowl concert at the time. They are revolutionary in the industrial pop rock genre. You could dedicate an entire channel to their career.
Just subscibed. I'm almost 72 and since the 60's, the British have dominated music. There are many quality rock bands from the U.S. but, to me, the brits take the prize consistantly.
Just listened to this last night and thought Oh he would love this one
Finally, welcome to the world of real musicians and what I call "Superstars". If you wanna enjoy the full range of Daves voice, then be free to listen to their song "Condemnation". Goosebumps every time!👌
Dude! Get ready for a huge rabbit hole here. Depeche Mode is a good introduction to what we used to call it in the 80s, New Wave. This will lead you to: The Cure (a personal favorite), The Smiths, Morrissey, New Order...just to name a few and I AM HERE FOR IT! 🎉🎉
It's so good to see more people getting into Depeche mode, I've followed them since they formed in 1980, and been a fan club member since then...you have a treat coming when you start to listen to their back catalogue
Excellent song!:Excellent reaction as always~❤
I've been a DM fan for many years. I've had the pleasure of seeing them in concert 9 times. It is an amazing experience. To me, they are one of the greatest bands ever, but seeing them live is where they really shine. Everyone in the crowd sings along with Dave on every song and on stage Dave takes his performance to another level.
They have sooooo many good songs. You should really check out "Barrel Of A Gun" and "It's No Good"
They are absolutely amazing live. Incredible front man, he dances his ass off all show.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Alternative Rock
I'm always happy when I see someone stumble across Depeche Mode and respond the way you do. This band is one of those bands that are a soundtrack to my life. I live in Australia and have frequently travelled internationally just to see these guys tour. You can't go wrong with any track from 'Black Celebration', 'Music For The Masses', 'Violator', or 'Songs Of Faith and Devotion'. These guys are just legends!
Oh Dave Gahan is a beautiful, incredibly talented man ❤
If you like this one I recommend I Feel You and Walking In My Shoes
Oh, this brings back memories! I’ve seen Depeche Mode live many times. One of the best bands ever! Awesome!
Declan you have just witnessed musical religion. Depeche Mode is not just music they are an experience I’ve been lucky enough to see 3 times im my life. I suggest going down the rabbit hole you’ll never want to leave
Love Depeche Mode! Went to their concert a year ago. Never stopped dancing, the energy was electric. Dave is a showman for sure!
Personal Jesus next please! British alternative/New Wave (mid 80s-early 90s) is my sweet spot - it is SUCH a vibe. New Order, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, The Waterboys, early U2, and more
“It’s no good” is their best song. It’s a banger.
One of my all time favorites! Check out their songs Barrel of a Gun and Personal Jesus!
Walking in my shoes is surely the song youll love cause i saw dirt album on your background
There is not a bad DM song. The rabbit hole is real. I was 16 when this song was first out. I’m 50 now. 😊
I saw them live in vegas on their Playing the Angel tour. They are amazing!!
Try People Are People, Personal Jesus, Strangelove, Master and Servant among others. ❤
Dave Gahan is one of the sexiest front men ever. Martin Gore writes the songs and sings lead sometimes like Home, Somebody etc
Such a great band- worthy of exploring the catalogue.
Enjoy the Silence is a masterpiece.
Glad you found them. They're on my playlist and I still listen to them every day. Amazing group.
Depeche Devotee here!🖤 they are definitely worth diving into more! Always amazing in concert...🥰
