[@Themis187]

I'm very surprised that you all don't write about Usseles because in my opinion it's in the top five

[@depechemode0220]

It feels so refreshing to come across someone who understands the power and beauty of this band’s work so clearly. I feel like it’s impossible to express how much raw and dignified emotion their songs can evoke in someone. When I listen to them, everything goes away, and the layers of the song that I hear is all that matters in the world. Listening to them makes me feel like I could pass from life feeling satisfied with having lived it enough; because I had the gift of knowing the sounds of this band. I’m 15 and I feel like one of the only people I know who’s been touched so deeply by a band before, and it’s so hard to explain. Depeche Mode has saved and made my life. There are some things you come to love that you know nobody or nothing could ever match it.

[@erichschoenholtz5170]

Well said. Many life long fans have said similar. I can definitely say that this band did save my life when I was younger and had thoughts about ending my life.

[@valsummerfield3069]

You are not alone. I was around your age when I started listening to them and they had a huge impact on my teenage life. When I discovered their music, it was just right, a match, immediate love. Wow, you're 15 and love them and it just shows us time and time again that their songs are timeless and that we can not help what we connect with in this world. When something speaks to you it's such a pure feeling. They have so, so many great songs. There's a song for every stage of life, every emotion. Truly they an incredible band. I have my tickets for 2023!!

[@plutostube]

Agree! Glad we live times when DM music has so much mass success worlwide in the same time with the “one/two notes” (so called) “modern” music, anyway I always felt MG/AW had a classical music vibe and complexity in their compositions/arrangements

[@depechemode0220]

Couldn’t feel more strongly in agreement with what’s been said above. I sometimes feel that the one/two note layered songs that are spewed out excessively these days are drowning out the newer generations’ clarity in what real, authentic music is.. But everyday I feel so grateful that in any timeline I could’ve lived in, I happened to be alive in one where DM exists!! Even if I’m a few decades late haha. Being able to resonate with other like-minded people is such a freeing feeling, I’m really glad that this band has touched so many in the way I know it’s touched me. They’re truly one of a kind. I could just get lost in all the layers of sound and keys and synths that their work embodies for hours. Counting down the days till I see them in 2023 as well, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I didn’t get to see them in my lifetime!!

[@guylainecormier330]

So many of us can relate to what you are saying. I heard and fell in love with DM on my 15th birthday and now 31 years later I still listen to them pretty much daily. Their music still speaks to me so deeply, and has saved my life as well 🤗.

[@-E42-]

Shake the disease gave me a veritable Out-Of-Body experience when I heard Martin perform it live in Zurich stadium in 2014 - the entire audience was singing along, and my soul sang along as well and it all turned into one. Definitely one of the more sublime moments of my life up to now.

[@syrophenikan]

“Shake the Disease” IS their best song ever. Kudos to “Here is the House”. That one touches me at an indescribable level.

[@Groggen]

Agreed. There is something special about "Here is the House" that hits hard.

I might switch out Walking in my Shoes with Nothing, only because the beat is soooo damn hypnotic. The version of Nothing from their live 101 album is amazing. *edit to add that Policy of Truth would be in the list somewhere, maybe in place of Little 15. You know it's an incredible band when making such a list is crazy difficult because you start to recall all the songs which hit you in the soul🤣

I have cried several times listening to But Not Tonight. It reminds me so much of being in my room dancing on my own. It’s magical. The outro, lyrics, motives… Black Celebration was my first album, I bought it in 1997 when I was 14 just because it had the title track, which I had listened to in the early 90s on a random recorded casette. 😂 So random. I hope BC and Stripped are on this list too. We’ll see

Ah ..... am with ya on that 1....reminds me of leaving school over 3 decades ago n missin all my school mates that went to uni .... leave in silence was my 1st get away tune🫠😙

[@iamarjanib6784]

But Not Tonight is not on Black Celebration as the band meant the album to be. Was added by their US label.

[@Victorcolongarcia]

@@iamarjanib6784 I know that. The last song is NEW DRESS. But for me BUT NOT TONIGHT belongs in this album/era. My version of the cd had the extended as the closer and that for me is the perfect way to finish the album. Melancholy and darkness. Dancing while crying. Understanding the Pain vs Happiness dichotomy of life, while singing to those ghostly Martin vocals on repeat as the song fades away. 😎 And then start the album again with the title track 🤣😅🎶

[@jaybee9909]

First time I saw But Not Tonight Video was on MTV when I was 15. I remember this moment very distinctly. I just came home in the late evening and it was pouring rain outside. I was completely wet. I entered my house and my sister was watching it on 180 Minutes on MTV. I’m from Southern California, it hardly rains here. But Not Tonight appeared at the right place at the right time, I’ll never forget it.

I still remember summer 1985, when I was on vacation with my parents in France. I spent days in bed with a really severe sunburn, equipped with a tape recorder and only one single tape in it with a collection of top40 songs that I had recorded from TV. Shake the Disease was the one track that I listened to again and again with its strange chord sequence, weird sounds and layers of synths complementing each other so perfectly. I was not exactly a DM fan at that time but this song was so different from all the rest that it was practically impossible not to become one...

When you play them bare in your piano it's so violently beautiful to see how AMAZING these songs are. Black Celebration is, to me, DMs masterpiece and it contains such powerful songs.

My favorite songs are from the Depeche Mode. But especially the ones sung by Martin Gore. I know he's the main songwriter, but he gives it a melancholy tone, makes the music so sweet that I just can't resist, so especial and haunting. Everything is so wonderful, it transforms strangelove which has a danceable rhythm into something melancholic. I adore this musical genius. And here goes my list in no order: Heaven, Lie to me, One caress, Home, Somebody, Little Soul, In a manner of speaking, Stripped, The Child Inside, The Love Thieves, In your room and of course me I do not exclude another that I love.And Vaughn is right to say that those who like Depeche Mode are people who think deeply about life, spirituality and everything in between.Depeche mode is in my soul and I see Martin L. Gore as a unique artist.

[@cloudbloom]

There's an awesome remix of Martin Gore's version of Compulsion called Dominatrix Remix that I highly recommend! That dj Dominatrix has done a bunch of fantastic depeche mode remixes as well that are worth checking out. Anyway I absolutely love the chorus in Compulsion, so beautiful and Martin nails the tone with his voice

[@kylereece1979]

"In Your Room' and 'Insight" have been resonating and haunting me greatly lately. My Dad has been ill, and be it visiting him in the Hospital or long walks by nightfall under cushioned starlight, the deep dark atmospherics of those songs have harnessed all the drama within and around. I loved this analysis of your own meaningful songs to you.

I couldn't quite comment on the top 10 least favorite because I never took the time to evaluate that, but I'll do a rough selection on what my 10 favorite is looking like today: 10. A Question Of Lust 9. Home 8. Clean 7. Pimpf 6. The Sun And The Rainfall 5. Here Is The House 4. Stripped 3. Waiting For The Night 2. Walking In My Shoes Honorable mentions: Leave In Silence, The Landscape Is Changing, People Are People, When The Body Speaks, The Bottom Line 1. Precious Thank you for your contribution towards DM content analysis, awareness, and fanboyness. Here's to Memento Mori.

Was looking for the first list to include "Pimpf". Congratulations!

[@PerAnkh418]

great work Vaughn👍

[@martinlorenz4053]

Excellent video and so many great picks. I am always happy when people share my enthusiasm for "But not tonight" as I heard it so many times and love every version of it and can relate to the lyrics very much as you do. Another favorite of mine has always been "Ice Machine" and it blew me away when I listened to the live version for the first time. "See you" is also very dear to me and the live version from Hammersmith is just brilliant.

[@musicnauts]

I love the way "Here Is The House" segues into my favorite DM song, "World Full Of Nothing". First time I met Martin I told him how much I loved that song and they should play it live. Next tour, which was the Violator Tour, Martin played it. We met again. He told me he remembered our conversation. True story!

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

Of course, remembering the conversation doesn't necessarily mean that he chose to follow your advice.

[@jessicaberry7679]

My top 10 are: 1. Stripped (I literally have the symbol tattooed on me I love it that much.) 2. In your room 3. Shake the disease 4. Black celebration 5. Behind the wheel 6. Walking in my shoes 7. Told you so 8. World in my eyes 9. Lie to me 10. It doesn’t matter two.

[@WavehuntersSurf]

I tried to find a song from the Violator album that I could justify in my top 10 or even top 15 but I feel like this album was a little too mainstream. Halo and Waiting for the Night are my favorite tracks from it. Actually the only song produced after 1987 that I could include was Walking in My Shoes which I find nostalgic of Never Let Me Down but goes deeper for me. I actually like the Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, and Ultra albums a lot but they don’t resonate with me like 1982-1987 Depeche Mode. 1. Here is the House 2. Sun and the Rainfall 3. Everything Counts 4. Behind the Wheel 5. Shake the Disease 6. My Secret Garden 7. But Not Tonight 8. Blasphemous Rumors 9. A Question of Lust 10. Walking in my Shoes Honorable Mention 1. Stripped 2. People are People 3. And Then 4. Leave in Silence 5. Never Let me Down Again

Can you rank all the albums from worst to best too please? That would be awesome to see!😄

[@HappiestG]

Your appreciation, love, and knowledge of the band really comes through in your videos and it's a joy (even in your least favorite list)! But not Tonight isn't in my top 10, but I hear you, I will never forget seeing a youtube video of Martin Live at the Troubadour singing it in 2013. Gave it a whole new dimension and those same lyrics have also resonated with me. I can't pick a top 10. My top 6 is pretty constant: 1. Behind the Wheel 2. In Your Room 3. Home 4. Stripped 5. Shake the Disease. 6. Enjoy the Silence The others shift but for today are: 7. Condemnation 8. Clean 9. Insight 10. Cover me

[@FusedMusic]

As a fan since 1981 (I'm old!) my DM top 10 is: 1. Stripped 2. Never Let Me Down Again 3. World In My Eyes 4. Walking in my Shoes 5. Lie to Me 6 Nothing 7. Halo 8. Black Celebration 9. Fly on the Windscreen 10. In Your Room (Devotional live)

[@K.S.1985]

[@leandroboado8430]

Excelent analysis as always Vaughn. I found in it many songs that, today, I'd quite settle on 10. Insight 9. A Question of Lust 8. Shake The Disease 7. Judas/Never Let me Down Again (Can't decide but Judas is a hauntingly inmense piece of art) 6. Waiting For The Night 5. Enjoy The Silence 4. World In My Eyes 3. Stripped 2. Home 1. In Your Room (The apotheosis of Depeche Mode) Honorables: But Not Tonight (love it, a friend of mine, whom I introduced to the band told me to have a keen look on this one and Judas, he was definetly not mistaken), Breathe, The Things You Said, Nothing's impossible, One Caress

"But not tonight" is #1 for me. Resembles the #1 Beatles track "Here comes the sun".

[@stoni40k51]

Wow, what a list. I got goosebumps when it started with But Not Tonight which became one of my favourite DM songs when they played it in their slow live version (Hamburg with rain). I must admit that it made my cry then … and still does. Never Let Me Down Again is may all time favorite song (of any band) so it simply had to appear on this list to be approved … well done ;) I am new to this channel, so I was a bit surprised to find Shake The Disease on the Top. But not in a bad way. I think it is not one of their most popular songs, is it? However, I still love it too. And all the other songs. So many great creations of music. I have never thought of making a Top Ten list for myself, but thinking about honourable mentions I’d choose these: - Blasphemous Rumors - Higher Love - Nothing - Rush Will check your Least Favourite Songs List now …

[@bettyrod1015]

Never thought too much about But Not Tonight until I heard it live as well. Hearing the stripped down version made me focus on the lyrics and it hit me. My eyes started to well up as I heard Martin sing it. It’s become a very special song for me now.

[@ugynokseg]

Thanks VG, its a great Top15 🙂

[@Victorcolongarcia]

I think IN YOUR ROOM is their best song, after that you can just retire or something. The amount of tension vs release I get from that song is like sex 😂 the second verse is unbeliable, but then you have that chill-inducing outro with sounds going 3d destroying your inner core. 😅 I still try not to listen to it very frequently to keep it special and after 20 something years for me I still FEEL IT.

Depeche Mode top 10 1. Waiting for the Night to Fall 2. Insight 3. Walking in My Shoes 4. Behind the Wheel 5. In Your Room 6. Halo 7. Fly on the Windscreen 8. Surrender 9. Stripped 10. Sister of Night Honorable mention: Dangerous Sister of Night Memphisto Here is the House Blue Dress I Want You Now Strangelove Black Celebration Wrong I must mention that I have been a fan since hearing Strangelove for the first time in 7th grade. I frequently listened to every album and B side from Black Celebration to Delta Machine. I absolutely LOVED the Delta Machine record in its entirety and it is the last album I loved of theirs. It was a sexy album. I could not do the political stuff on Spirit and it was their worst album in my opinion. I went to see them in 2013 in Las Vegas and I loved that concert because it was so intimate. Thank you Depeche Mode for all the memories.
