Re: Depeche Mode
 

went to see them at MEN last year, I like some of their stuff, mainly the more morbid style songs. hence I prefer the term "Depressed Toad".

:D

Is there anyone else that prefers shall we say the darker styles of music, e.g. some 'Cure' etc

For dark you should watch classic pyschobillies The Cramps, filmed here in a lunatic asylum in 1979 (ignore the 1984 date on the film, that's when it was broadcast) singing the Human Fly.

Murder on the dance floor.:D

I think songs of faith and devotion was and still is a v.good album.

Re: Depeche Mode
 

I'll admit to liking their song Own Personal Jesus...though I do prefer the Johnny Cash cover version.:D

Re: Depeche Mode
 

And the maralyn manson version?:confused::eek:;)

Re: Depeche Mode
 

Nah, that was rubbish.:D

Re: Depeche Mode
 

he has done a couple of nice covers but I prefer his own stuff

Re: Depeche Mode
 

They were definitely the more 'popish' end of the new romantic/electronic groups. I didn't dislike them but wouldn't say I was a huge fan either. I did like People are People because I liked the words.

They were actually really hard to dance to though, despite being more popish than The Cure or groups like that.

I once walked past Dave Gahn in the street in Manchester - took me about an hour to realise why that bloke had looked so familiar - they were all a bit ordinary.

Re: Depeche Mode
 

I really liked 'em especially "See you" but I think that they would have had more success if they'd kept hold of Vince Clarke. A bit like Rovers would have if they'd kept Shearer

Re: Depeche Mode
 

good band once they dumped the early gay disco music stuff and went a darker ;)

Re: Depeche Mode
 

Come on Gayle.. DP more "popish" than the Cure!... "love cats" and "Fridays I'm in love" not real hardcore stuff is it.

Re: Depeche Mode
 

if you want darker
try listening to nick cave:mad:
