The Friday Canon: DEPECHE MODE

MODEFAX:

Dave joined the band after hearing them rehearse in a scout-hut!

They used 'People Are People' as the theme tune for agreeable children's telly programme It'll Never Work!

Dave technically died for 2 minutes in 1996!

You get THIRTEEN ticks across all these UK Top 40 hits. Blimey!

Depeche Mode got so good in the late 90s! We're currently the only two to have voted so it'll be a wait to see if anyone agrees with me on that, but I enjoyed Ultra at the time and think it stands up pretty well now...

The fact is I should know Ultra but just don't remember any of it. (That alone is reason enough for no ticky.)

(I remember "I Feel Love" but that wasn't enough.)

Home is a beautiful song, and seriously deserves more tickage here. It's also one of the few with Martin Gore singing (Question of Lust & Somebody being the other two - he obviously only likes doing ballads)

"Home" is my absolute favourite DM single, hands down. Seriously, it brings tears to my eyes, it's that good. Also, I do a wicked shower rendition of it.
