There will always be a difference in opinion between the true fans and the critics I personally don’t agree with the song picks here on this particular top 10 list but then again I am not the one who is presenting it for review and as far as “the past 20 years” comment, I must admit that I personally tend to lean more towards the DM of the past from 1980 until Alan Wilder left the band in 1995 those were the best years in my humble opinion and the time period that I liked most after that I think the songwriting took a sharp decline and I personally lost interest in DM however I have followed Alan’s solo project (Recoil) and I prefer his music much more than anything that DM has put out since SOFAD - again, these are my own personal opinions and I don’t expect all DM fans to agree with me and that’s ok the good thing about DM is that they have always tried to appeal to different genres and styles and there are lots of fans out there all over the world who are just as diverse as their music is. And, that “1 Killer Depeche Mode Songs Nobody’s Listening To” is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I’m not a fan of DM, but they’re amazing and the truth is that they will never give a shit for your stupid opinion because they’re doing what they like. Just because you don’t like it, that doesn’t give you the right of teasing their last albums. That is good because it means that lots of people, different people can listen to Depeche Mode even if they like different types of music. I guess you’re just thinking about your musical taste, and if you like, for exemple, the albums they made in the 80’s, probably you like new have and pop. They have now “dark albums”, if we can call it.
These last albums are the reflex of Dave’s problems. We can’t compare the things that Dave went through in the 80’s to the things of the 90’s. All the albums are different, all of them have different things. They’ve been changing their musical style since the 1st album. I guess you don’t get a thing about Depeche Mode’s style. (Are iPods still a thing?) We even dumped them into a Spotify playlist for ya.

Plus they gave us “Policy of Truth.” ‘Nuff said?Īnyway, here are 10 Depeche songs that aren’t on nearly enough iPods. And the Music for the Masses-Violator-Songs of Faith and Devotion trifecta is still one of the best album runs in pop music history. They’re still touring and they still put on astonishingly good shows. But shit, they’ve been around for almost 35 years. And we still have no idea what Andy Fletcher does, right?
Things really started to go downhill once Alan Wilder left after Songs of Faith and Devotion. Gahan has only had writing credits on a handful of tracks since 2005, and one of them is “Suffer Well,” which is the best Depeche Mode song since 1997’s “Barrel of a Gun”.
Some say this slow and steady decline is a result of Martin Gore allowing Dave Gahan to bully his way into the songwriting (to what extent Gahan actually “writes” songs is unclear). 2009’s Sounds of the Universe was similarly excruciating (except “In Chains”-that song was pretty dope). Last year’s Delta Machine was unlistenable. They haven’t released a great album in over 20 years. And Playing the Angel was good, not great. Let’s face it: Depeche Mode haven’t released a good album in nearly a decade.
