It’s always a favorite at the live shows, complete with hand gestures.Ĥ. “Everything Counts” – Construction Time Again From the older albums and the hay day of Depeche Mode fame, this song has a typical moral message for the masses about the dangers of greed. Everyone knows its melody, whether they like the song or not.ģ.
“Enjoy the Silence” – Violator This song was a rebirth for Depeche Mode, becoming a fast hit with its simple lyrics, but beautiful sound. Several artists from Marilyn Manson to Johnny Cash have covered it. It’s got great lyrics and an infectious pulsing, electronic beat. “Personal Jesus” – Violator This song is the epitome of the greatness of Depeche Mode. My top ten Depeche Mode songs are as follows.ġ.
It’s hard to choose a list of ten songs that epitomize the band or that are even “best.” I’ve tried to choose several that I think show the band’s characteristics, but that are also one I just enjoy listening to. They also haven’t been afraid to tackle difficult subjects like God and sex. Their music is also overflowing with messages about the perils of falling prey to human foibles and follies. The inclusion of the electronic sound allows them to get a distinct sound that you can’t get from instruments alone. They’re music is characterized by the smooth sounds of singer Dave Gahan’s voice and their synthesized beats and melodies. They’ve become one of the most longest lasting and successful bands to come out of the New Wave Era. Coming in on the wave of electronic, synthesized music of the 80’s, they have become the epitome of that music genre. Depeche Mode has been around for quite awhile and proven themselves to be a lasting influence on music today.
