Ok so maybe it's this muggy weather but I'm reliving my youth club years asking Alexa to play tunes circa late 80s\early 90s and DM popped up. Now whilst I only know and love a handful of their mainstream albums I've been reminded of how horny a combo his voice and some of their lyrics were.

goes to sit in garden and cool down <

Just me?

When DH is sometimes a bit "hasty", I gently remind him to "Be More Dave".

"Slow"

Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
So I can feel all I want to know
Slow, slow
I'll go with your flow

Let the world keep its carnival pace
I prefer to look into your beautiful face
What a waste
Let the stars continue to fly by
I don't have one desire to understand why
I don't try

Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
I want my senses to overflow
Slow, slow
And doesn't it show

I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
It's tempting for fools to rush in
When something's so good
Why should we rush a thing
It's a sin

Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
That's how I like it
I like it

I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead

Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
That's how I like it
I like it

That's how I like it
That's how I like it

I love Dave but I'm not fond of that tash he was sporting last time I went to see them.

Does he still have it? Make it go away!!

Stirfriedbrian · 16/07/2021 20:01

You want to watch his live concerts. Absolutely stunning man, I cannot take my eyes off him 😍

Totallydefeated · 16/07/2021 20:06

They're my favourite band and he is HOT. Brilliant vocalist.

Somebody is sung by Martin Gore, who's the main songwriter. He's hot too....

ultrablue · 16/07/2021 20:28

Love seeing some Martin Gore vocals are making the list.

I'm a huge Depeche fan have been since they started, hence my user name ( should be ultrabluedress, but for some reason MN wouldn't allow it)
I'm a Martin fan rather than Dave, but I have got to admit Dave is looking damn fine nowadays, I wouldn't kick him out of bed if you know what I mean...

Damn it his voice is so sexy, especially I Feel You live, but that might just be Martin's dirty guitar playing.

His solo stuff is good too, some nice dirty tracks on those.

RoseRedRoseBlue · 16/07/2021 20:30

@SoftDay

Jesus, the I Feel You video. Especially the end, when he's stripping off and just staring at me - sorry, I mean the camera. I drooled over it when I first saw it at 18 or so and I drool over it today.

Absolute ride.

Yes. Just yes. He is absolutely gorgeous and that voice.......❤️
AutistGoth · 16/07/2021 20:30

I prefer Martin Gore myself! Grin

At the gig I already mentioned, you could hear a pin drop when Martin sang Somebody.
AutistGoth · 16/07/2021 20:32

Martin Gore recorded "Somebody" completely naked, by the way...

ultrablue · 16/07/2021 20:44

@AutistGoth

I wish I had of been there that day...

Martin used to love getting naked mmmm

Pericombobulations · 16/07/2021 21:22

@FetchezLaVache

Oh God, the album version of "In Your Room" is just the best sex song ever.
Second that! Love DM and Dave is definitely on my yes list even now he is still very sexy.

Shake the disease is also good.

Although I have to mention Never let me down which was our first dance.

CoRhona · 16/07/2021 21:43

You lot truly are my people. Loved loved LOVED 101, went to see Spirits in the Forest by myself as no-one else had the slightest interest!

wellingtonbear · 16/07/2021 21:48

Wonderful band. Remember them when they were the support band for local bands round here. Can't afford a ticket to see them these days 😞

Spirits of the forest and live in Berlin plus another documentary (in a series with other artists) are all on Sky Arts/NOW TV 🥰

Just leaving this here …it’s a hot night anyway

spinningspaniels · 16/07/2021 22:01

They were my favourite band through my teens, and saw them loads of times live. He is hypnotic on stage, such presence.

Policy of Truth, Blasphemous rumours and Stripped are my most played.

Sarahlou63 · 16/07/2021 22:02

This is a great cover of Personal Jesus by one of my former volunteers - he played all the instruments and made it when he was 17 Shock

Zerrin13 · 16/07/2021 22:15

I was young in the 80's and some of the music is just timeless. Depeche Mode were and still are what it was all about. He is still mesmerising

Just listened to this for the first time this evening.

Yup. It's a good one!

ichundich · 16/07/2021 23:11

DM are awesome; they are staples in my Spotify lists.

Urbanhymngirl · 16/07/2021 23:19

Ahh, I have found my people too! DM are the musical loves of my life altho it was always Alan Wilder that did it for me- I still want to marry him 😆

Urbanhymngirl · 16/07/2021 23:22

I adored him as a teenager and still do. Got Black Celebration for my birthday when I was 15!
