Martin Gores writing with Alan Wilder's classically trained musical talents made DM great! I miss the Alan Wilder years. I always thought that extra special something was missing after Alan left.

In 1990, at the age of 26, I came out of the closet, in rural Missouri. And Depsche Mode Violator album was the album of that time for me. "Policy Of Truth", "World In My Eyes" and especially "Halo" were all about what I was going through at that time. "Halo" was a song to me for my self justification... an anthem if you will... of what is about to happen as I cam out. "And when our worlds they fall apart, When the walls come tumbling in, Though we may deserve it, It will be worth it." So true to me. Whenever I listen to this album, and I still listen to it today, it take me right back to 1990 and that emotional roller coaster ride of that time, both up and down. But these songs got me through this time, and I am forever grateful for that.

Prof, another great video and love your DM 90's fiver. It is amazing how music can invoke memories and tie itself to that of other genres. Twin Peaks was an outstanding show with outstanding music on it's own but your entwined memory of it and Policy of Truth it so cool. For me it is Martin Gore's solo E.P. Counterfeit released in 1989. I cannot listen to songs from it without thinking of the family trip I took to England (I'm Canadian) in 1990. During that trip I was reading Stephen King's It and listening to this E.P. a lot. Strange conflicting themes between the book and E.P. but somehow to me they are one now.

Violator was my first DM album I purchased as well...this is the one band that I will always go see when they come to town and there is not one song of theirs that I do not like, and I too remember that 120 minutes show with the 'Enjoy the Silence' video. SOFAD was a great album, but it still could have been greater had the band not been going through their issues at the time, Dave, basically, turned into a hermit with his drug addiction...but it is still my #2 favourite album of theirs. Here is my "5'er": First one out (or a bonus #6): Useless...always think of this as Dave's comeback song 5. Barrel of a gun 4. Condemnation...Dave's vocals are 2nd to none on this song 3.

MFTM = best DM album and concert combo. Rose Bowl gig was the best show I've ever been to and the album was so cool and mysterious (at the time). Devotional concert was a close second. Black Celebration has to be the best album sonically and lyrically. But I just love how DM - an eighties band, was able to kick ass in the 90's. So many bands choked under the ravages of grunge but DM maintained their relevancy.

Violator is perfection. SOFAD would be too if it weren’t for “Get Right With Me”. I never felt that song. I always felt they should have made that the b-side and put “My Joy” as the album track. But ULTRA is fire. Sonically, the best album they have done. The programming and mixing is where it shines. Maybe because I am a huge Trip-Hop fan, I enjoy ULTRA greatly but it really stands out as an album of that period. They proved they didn’t need Alan to make a great album.

I remember when I first became a fan of Depeche Mode. Freshmen year in high school. 1st period of the day. A fellow saxophonist was showing off the new album. That black cover and the red rose. Violator was that ticket to the rest of the discography for me. You mentioned how the style of the band was superior. That, interestingly enough, fit right in with there name, Depeche Mode... loosely translated French for fast fashion, right? I have to take exception and disagree with your assessment of Songs of Faith and Devotion however, I think that was the last best album of the bands and could still be considered a masterpiece! From Some Great Reward through Ultra, it doesn't get any better for a DM fan than those 6 albums! I'll give it a go, but it's so hard to pick just 5 out of so many great albums packed with great songs. My 90s DM 5er: 5. Enjoy the Silence 4. One Caress 3. Personal Jesus 2. Home 1.

I know ill get some flak here, I dont care for people are people. but after i bought violator i purchased their older stuff, Music for the masses is my favorite and black celebration.

People forger that Alan Wilder is classically trained and taught himself how to play the drums over 18 months in order to play songs like, Walking in my Shoes, live on stage. It was an incredible tour, and an awesome album. Listen to the song Judas, the lyrics are amazing. Just sharing my perspective. Hope all is well. Be most excellent to each other.

Songs of faith a devotion is the most critically acclaimed, the darkest and most mature album from DM career, Violator on the other hand was the most commercially succesful and trascendental but to say that SOFAD is not up to par with Violator and music for the masses is almost a sin, every song on SOFAD has it's own personality, character, not just produced for radio play and videography, it has fully realized concept that we get to see in the devotional tour, something that Music for the masses and Violator both lacked.

DM stayed strong into the 90s, because they were one of the only synth bands from 80s that actually had a "deepness" to synth music. Most bands in the 80s played off the great/fun playful nature of the 80s (Which was Awesomw!!!! lol), but DM actual put deep, dark, sensual lyrics and presentation to the synth sound and that just doesn't fade. Hence Violator and Ultra were as powerful as anything else at the time.

DM stayed relevant in 90s thanks to all Alan's synth experiments in 80s. They grew over the popines and kitch of synth pop. Its like muscle memory. Ultra is so good only because they were following all Alan's teachings. We all saw what happened on SOTU. Can you imagine how great it would be with influence of Recoil?

Not the band of the 90’s. THE band. Prof, you get it, not sure many others do. 40 years nearly and still going..... strong. Crazily, still underrated !

TOTALLY agree with you nina wildr! Genres, Bands, Albums, Songs, and more, can each have their own distinctive persona of greatness, like different flowers in a garden. Any music may fail to find favor with a specific listener, but for some of us Sofad resonates powerfully as a masterpiece in that lovely garden. I think we're the lucky ones.

@@ProfessorofRock SOFAD and Black Celebration are the band´s best albums. Also, I do not consider But Not Tonight to be a Black Celebration song. It is almost as bad as The Meaning of Love and the band did not include it on the album. The US label did. Cheers from Prague. You know, I read an interview with Hepzibah from Miranda Sex Garden and Alan´s wife (not sure if they are still married). Her band was supporting DM and she had no idea who Alan was. He liked her and then she realised "he was the DM´s drummer" (her own words). Obviously she was no fan but she remembered working in a record store in California one summer. And that all the kids wanted were two albums: Disintegration and 101. I was at high school in a communist country where it was impossible to buy records from the world. We used to go to the changing rooms whenever we skipped a class. "Hey, we have a math test now. OK, let´s go down to changing rooms". There we would meet guys from other classrooms, of the same age, younger, older boys (girls were banned because they couldn´t keep their mouths shut and those changing rooms in cellar was our haven from teachers who were not to know about it) who had one thing in common...they were not exemplary students, they were smart and fun. We talked, smoked and listened to cassettes. And we listened to Disintegration and 101! Depeche Mode had a tremendous impact on our generation and the iron curtain could do fuck all to stop their music from spreading. Kids in Poland did the same. So did kids in Mexico and Argentina. In Germany, in both Germanies. In France or Italy. When the communism fell I worked the next summer in a hostel. And met these two guys from Glasgow. One sporting a DM t-shirt, the other had a Nitzer Ebb t-shirt. I immediatelly started talking music with them and they were shocked about how big DM were in Czechoslovakia. They told me they were the only 2 guys who listened to electronic music in their own school for 500! Depeche were overlooked in their own country. Ridiculed. So, they found their audience abroad. Maybe they were lucky not to be huge in Britain. The UK press is terrible. The love you for a while and then they loathe you. And if you´re big in the UK only and fall out of favor you have no other markets to go. And you are fucked. I imagine how happy the English music press must have been informing about Depeche Mode´s success in America. DM had been big in continental Europe but the USA was something else. OK, ONCE AGAIN cheers from Prague, Jakub
