Though I adore Depeche Mode I don't play along to their music. I do listen to it quite a bit even the Vince Clarke era which would normally be a bit too poppy for my liking. When a band is this good even their not so good stuff is still better than a lot of other bands.
I really like Depeche Mode. I love the earlier stuff up to the departure of Alan Wilder. Things for me have been patchy at times but you can't deny what a brilliant band they are.
