The smooth, deep, and in a way robotic vocals plus the soft, spacey electronic instrumentation relaxes me like very little other music can while at the same time not being slow or boring (in my opinion anyway).

I think it's also because of the halftime show of the superbowl from U2. It was a couple months after 9/11, America was down. And U2 lifted it up. When Bono shows the American flag under his sleave, it cries out emotion and hope for America after 9/11.

As far as Depeche Mode goes, I think a lot of people enjoy their stuff because of how it reaches a midpoint between industrial and synthpop. Some tracks are very accessible while others are more experimental. So, you have some riverheads who like them and you have the new wave movement liking them. Not to mention, some of their tracks are sort of ballady. My point is just that in terms of electronic music, Depeche Mode reaches into elements a lot of people are into.

pink floyd is/was way more important than billy joel and the eagles and metallica lets be real here, they have an incredibly long history with many eras, all the way from 1966 with syd and his iconic writing style and innovations plus rick wright's beautiful and very cool (like in DSOTM) keyboards, to 70s gilmour with his impressive guitar and vocals. the rest all pale in comparison.

HOWEVER roger waters was the worst member and ruined the best members successes often times so i'm not saying he was the one who made the band, the wall wasn't close to being their best.

Im sure its been commented but the statement about u2 being american is because of there halftime show at the superbowl. Cheesy use by the writer, but I cant lie U2 fucking gave me chills for their performance
