My Top 50 Depeche Mode songs

21 February 2023 By Avinash Meetoo Leave a Comment

I discovered Depeche Mode in 1985 and, for the past four decades, I have been a massive fan of the group and electronic music in general.

Last night, I gave it a go and I selected the 50 Depeche Mode songs I like the most. There are a lot of songs which I didn’t choose despite loving them but I tried to keep things balanced by choosing three songs from each album, except for some seminal albums such as Violator where I had to choose more than three songs. For good measure, I also chose Shake The Disease which, for some reason, was never part of any album but only released as a single.

At the end, this is what I consider to be my Top 50 Depeche Mode songs ever:

  • Just Can’t Get Enough (from the 1981 album Speak & Spell)
  • Photographic (from the 1981 album Speak & Spell)
  • Tora! Tora! Tora! (from the 1981 album Speak & Spell)
  • Leave in Silence (from the 1982 album A Broken Frame)
  • My Secret Garden (from the 1982 album A Broken Frame)
  • See You (from the 1982 album A Broken Frame)
  • Everything Counts (from the 1983 album Construction Time Again)
  • Love, in Itself (from the 1983 album Construction Time Again)
  • Told You So (from the 1983 album Construction Time Again)
  • Blasphemous Rumours (from the 1984 album Some Great Reward)
  • Master and Servant (from the 1984 album Some Great Reward)
  • People Are People (from the 1984 album Some Great Reward)
  • Shake the Disease (from the 1985 album Shake the Disease (Single))
  • A Question of Time (from the 1986 album Black Celebration)
  • Black Celebration (from the 1986 album Black Celebration)
  • Stripped (from the 1986 album Black Celebration)
  • Behind the Wheel (from the 1987 album Music for the Masses)
  • Never Let Me Down Again (from the 1987 album Music for the Masses)
  • Strangelove (from the 1987 album Music for the Masses)
  • Enjoy the Silence (from the 1990 album Violator)
  • Halo (from the 1990 album Violator)
  • Personal Jesus (from the 1990 album Violator)

  • World in My Eyes (from the 1990 album Violator)
  • I Feel You (from the 1993 album Songs of Faith and Devotion)

  • Home (from the 1997 album Ultra)

  • Goodnight Lovers (from the 2001 album Exciter)
  • I Feel Loved (from the 2001 album Exciter)
  • A Pain That I’m Used To (from the 2005 album Playing the Angel)
  • John the Revelator (from the 2005 album Playing the Angel)
  • Precious (from the 2005 album Playing the Angel)
  • Suffer Well (from the 2005 album Playing the Angel)
  • In Chains (from the 2009 album Sounds of the Universe)
  • Peace (from the 2009 album Sounds of the Universe)
  • Wrong (from the 2009 album Sounds of the Universe)

  • Cover Me (from the 2017 album Spirit)
