Top Ten Songs by Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode has been one of the most influential bands on the scene. They have had an ever evolving sound and seem to reflect the voice of the current generations. Bands and artists are using them to inspire new versions of great songs and are invoking love and hate when compared to the original versions.

Here are my picks for the top ten songs by Depeche Mode.
I chose them because they had meaning to me during moments in my life. The songs have strong memories, some good some bad, but they all have meaning.

The albums that I picked my songs from are full of other songs that are strong. I chose the ones from these albums because they are the ones that stick out for me. If you haven't heard them I recommend playing the whole albums. Unlike a lot of albums you should listen to them as a whole and enjoy them start to finish. They were designed to be a journey of emotions and feeling.

Tributes to Depeche Mode have ranged from Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, Meat Beat Manifesto, Hooverphonic and even Smashing Pumpkin. All the bands bring their own style but the music is distinctively Depeche Mode. The dark beats with sounds of harmony and melody rising and falling. When listened to on a great stereo the music surrounds you and lifts you up and takes you around corners of your mind and lets you explore your dark side safely.
