I'm mellowing towards them too...might even like them in another 20 years or so.

That's better than it having been square or hexagonal, I guess.  I assume you meant "around"; about 98% of the tunes in the RP library have "been 'round for a while".

Taken of an absolute brilliant album (as a whole).. too much airplay (in charts etc) but all in all very nice to hear every once in a while :)

This is among the weakest songs on Violator. I'd say you will be richly rewarded if you pick up this album. Black Celebration is good, Some Great Reward sounded great to me when I first heard it, but might be a little dated now. Anything earlier than that is going to sound pretty dated these days. As for the more recent stuff, I thought Exciter was great, Playing the Angel gets regular rotation at my house, and Songs of Faith and Devotion was pretty damn good (though it's not so recent, I guess - I'm getting old!). 

Edit: and how could I forget to mention it! Go hunt out Agent Orange, an instrumental piece that was a bonus track on the Music For The Masses cd. Beautiful, melancholy piece of music. 

Edit Edit: In fact, let me save you the trip. Agent Orange

An easy 9 from the closet Goth Nottingham jury. I'd never really properly listened to DM before joining RP, so this station has really deepened my appreciation of these electro-Goth merchants. I just love poppy sounds with dark lyrics. Is that Dave Gahan psychically tortured, or what? Still, his pain results in our pleasure :)

After I proposed to the lovely lady who's now my wife, she kidnapped me for a beautiful getaway. She made a cassette tape for me and this was the first song on it. Hearing it reminds me of that terrific weekend so it instantly gets a 10 from me.

Try about anything off of the "Some Great Reward" album.  Can't go wrong there!

Has it really been 20 years? Wow. This is a really good album, and I remember when it came out. I listened to this CD quite a bit that year. Yep, remember CDs?

Or even better, the Billy Bragg, Imogen Heap, etc, collaboration of the same 4'33".  http://www.billybragg.com/press/story.php?ID=172  Although, now that I think about it, they probably sound quite similar. :-)

Silence? What silence? I hear Depeche Mode. Glad it's this song. One of my favorites of theirs. I like the near atonal melody in the verse just before the bridge in the arrangement. Also that recurring keyboard melody is hypnotic.
