OK, the first thing to say is that I'm not gonna make a thread about all my favourite bands. I've already done a Joy Division one, and I'm now going to ask for your opinions on Depeche Mode.
Only listened to them a few months myself, but to me they have this primal, didactic sound, which makes their music good for building self-esteem, and indeed one of their albums I think is called 'Music for the masses'. However, I only have the new Singles compilation from 86-98.
My favourite (singles) are:
Everything Counts (Great, great song)
Never let Me Down Again
Condemnation
Its no Good
Policy of Truth
A Question of Lust
So your thoughts please...... |

What can I say? I love them too... I especially love the synths and the vocals.
My current favorites are
1) Precious
2) Enjoy the Silence
3) Wlaking in My Shoes
Great stuff! |

It's something that's been recommended to me, but I never got around to listening to any Depeche Mode. I heard their newest isn't as good as their older stuff. What album should I get to start out?

The first time I heard this band, I hated them (Speak & Spell--Vince Clarke period) I thought they were incredibly twee. It wasn't until I heard Violator that I really dug them.
Favorite tracks:
Personal Jesus
Policy of Truth
Enjoy the Silence
Blasphemous Rumors
Master & Servant
I Feel You
I've heard their new CD is really good but haven't heard it yet. |

| Well having looked at your lists of favourites, I definitely need to buy more of their music. Think I'll go for an earlier, original album this time... |

Walking in My Shoes is one that I can definitely relate to.
I also like this line from 'One Caress': "lead me into your darkness, when this world is trying its hardest to leave me unimpressed". |
