I'm not a big Depeche Mode fan but their talent and influence on other artists is unmistakable. Used Launch to watch Manson's cover of Personal Jesus. Quite excellent especially when the image JFK flashes while he's singing the chorus.
My favorite Depeche Mode song is one that the video is also available on Launch.. If I were in a band, I'd cover it...loud and proud:
Never Let Me Down Again by Depeche Mode
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
Never let me down
See the stars they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight.
