In 1984, if folks back then were talking about "Pop" music, they were NOT talking about bands like Depeche Mode. The styles evoked by the term "Pop" back then was more like Lionel Richie, Matthew Wilder, Deniece Williams.

    This was the song that made me fan of Depeche Mode in the 80s. The message is so strong and clear. It was great growing up in the generation right after the civil rights movement. We benefitting because no one cared about if someone looked or acted different. This was a great time of healing that lasted until about 2020. Unfortunately, then certain idealistic and political groups started creating division. Instead of embracing how our differences can unite us, they instead fuel hatred and resentment by pushing equity over equality. We need more people to stand up and say you can not tell me who to love and hate (not that we should hate anyone.) Sorry not trying to preach politics, just never expected to see us regress backwards in my life, I just hope I life long enough to see a rehealing where we all realize "People are People."

    My band of life has always been Depeche Mode. Grew up on them in the 1980s, supported their bad records of late, and heading to their probably last concert this November in Denver for their latest and maybe last album. LOVE my band.

      @@emilywilhite5807 Seen them in Virginia, got screwed in L.A., Texas, Denver, and soon in Denver again, over the last 17 years. My wife refuses to let me miss a concert. "Just Can't Get Enough."

    my favourite band, hands down. their evolution has been extraordinary. lose their primary lyricist after their first album. martin gore picks up the ball and runs with it. their experiment in the mid 80s to find their sound. they got darker and, in my opinion, their best era. songs like 'blasphemous rumours', 'black celebration', 'stripped', 'never let me down', 'behind the wheel'. then the break out with the album violator. 'enjoy the silence', 'policy of truth', 'personal jesus'. they are still making music today with a new release called 'ghosts again'. this bring me back to their early 90s sound. all around an amazing, ever evolving band!

    LOOOOOVE DEPECHE MODE!! ... now why has it just now occurred to me that you haven't reacted to any Within Temptation? They're more current, but all of their songs *especially their newest one Dont Pray For Me* are phenomenal. Angels, Somewhere, All I Need, The Truth Beneath The Rose, Mother Earth, and soooooo much more!!!! I saw you guys reacted to a Nightwish song a couple years ago, so i figured that you wouldn't mind looking into Within Temptation. Love your reactions!! ok i'll go now

    @Eric Kent you are so right. When this came out, you could only buy it as an import in North America and you definitely had to be into British New Wave to have even heard of them in the early 80s. Their sound was poppy in their early days but got darker and more atmospheric as time went on. An iconic group that epitomize the 80s for me.

  • @Jillyconjem

    I can pinpoint the moment I first heard this in 1984. It was playing on MTV in my living room, and I was in my bedroom. I had to go to the tv to see who it was. I went out and bought everything they’d done so far. I saw them for the first time in 1987, and then I saw them a ton more times through to their Tour of the Universe in 2009. This song changed my life; definitely for the better. Having DM in my life since then, I’m so thankful for them. 💜💜💜

  • @bjdefilippo447

    Great memories of enjoying their music in college. Thanks to whoever suggested them. I recommend "Somebody" and "Waiting for the Night" for their softer side, "Blasphemous Rumours" for SMH moments, and "In Your Room" when you want to crank something up to 15.

    The two surviving members of the Mode are just back with a new song, „Ghosts Again“, and it’s awesome! A song about the appreciation of life in the face of death, and they manage to make such a melancholic topic sound hopeful and even danceable. Would be great if you reacted to their more recent material!

    One of their best, from back in the early days when they were more industrial, using sampled real-world sounds to make great music. They've always been about love and inclusion, while also often having an upbeat message. Another one along the same lines is Walking In My Shoes, which was released almost 10 years later. It show how much their sound grew while still giving relatable messages.

    Now you need to listen to "Strange Love" It's another track with that hard techno club drum sound! I use to play both "People or People" and "Strange Love" in the dance and R&B clubs because both had killer drums and that driving synth bass! Back in the day they use to release several versions so they could be played in all clubs case in point listen to "Strange Love" then listen to "Strange Love 88" or "Strange Love blind mix" there was even a Pain remix.The great thing about the 80's you got a wide range of remixes. Not many people know groups like Bananarama and Robert Palmer release new jack swing versions of their songs!
