Best Depeche Mode album

[The Lemming Stomper]

At the beginning for me, Speak and Spell, saw them play this album as their set at Jenkinsons bar in 1981... God I feel old!

Same here, though I saw them at Raquels in Basildon...

Shout , the b-side of New Life, my all time favourite track

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

101, although a concert album, was a game changer, absolute gold all the way.

Stop sniggering at the back

More of a fan of their early stuff, a mate had New Life when it first came out and I immediately liked it, still my favourite track by them.

Such a brilliant album, Tora Tora Tora my fav track...

However, imo, Photographic much better on the Some Bizarre Album than on S&S

I did like them in the 1980s: saw them a few times, bought lots of 12" singles, but have not paid much attention to them since the early 1990s.

A better singles/live band than an album band IMO - with the notable exception of Violator, which worked as a single piece.
