the next two both had the same number of points and votes and no #1 votes, so the tie was broken based on the ranking of the highest vote.

Wow, higher than I expected for Personal Jesus (wasn't actually sure it would even be here at all).

But Not Tonight: a song that rose tons in my estimation in recent years. It's an anthem that's ambiguous about that.
― Euler, Saturday, 5 May 2012 00:40 (twelve years ago) link
"But Not Tonight" was my #1

lol I own that spring '93 Details magazine, remarkable for editor in chief William Shaw writing a story in which he accepts Dave Gahan's word that he's "changed" when Gahan had hit his nadir.

Halo has always seemed like one of the minor tracks on Violator to me, but Violator is so good that even its minor tracks are better than a lot of the rest of DM's catalogue.

Disagree -- they're masters of their game on this track. Rarely have their histrionics been used to such moving affect. Beautiful strings!

Everything about Behind the Wheel is perfect imo. It builds through the first verse, picks up steam in the second with the addition of the snare, and so on and so forth.

guessing my vote for Moonlight Sonata was wasted

Behind the Wheel and Blasphemous Rumours were the two songs that i realised through doing this that i like much less than i thought i did

My #1 probably won't make it. I'm disappointed.
― silverfish, Saturday, 5 May 2012 02:34 (twelve years ago) link
i'm so far 12/20 with my number one "Halo" already showing up.
i might end up getting around 17 in the Top 40.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 5 May 2012 02:41 (twelve years ago) link
I have 3, maybe 4 songs that will be in the top 10
gonna roll my eyes at you guys so hard if you voted Enjoy the Silence #1, it's not even the best Violator single ("Policy of Truth", which still missed my ballot)
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Saturday, 5 May 2012 03:02 (twelve years ago) link
my top four have already placed, i could be crazy but i think my #5 has a shot at beating 'enjoy the silence' for #1, hoping ilx doesn't let me down again.

Only four of my twenty have placed so far, looks like I'm way off consensus on this one. And you might've picked a more appealing image for I Feel You - the girl in the video was very important to me once upon a time.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 5 May 2012 07:11 (twelve years ago) link
Glad to see I Feel You, I ended up placing that much higher than I thought I would once I'd relistened to it.

Can't wait until "What's Your Name?" shows up.

I know various members of Depeche Mode consider this to be one of their worst songs, but I can think of Depeche Mode songs that I dislike more.
It's not even close to being their worst song, even among singles, "It's Called a Heart", "It's Only When I Lose Myself" and maybe "See You" (sorry to the eleven people who voted for it) are worse.
24. (194 points / 9 votes): Home25. (194 points / 7 votes): It's No Good
Pleasantly surprised here ... it's not that Ultra isn't great, but that I don't think there's much consensus on what the best songs are (a big disadvantage in polls).
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 5 May 2012 08:28 (twelve years ago) link
I do love It's No Good, even if I was influenced a bit by Alfred's takedown on the voting thread. The video is something else though - loads of laughs (including said smarmy face). Sometimes I'd say it's my favourite clip ever, but there're a lot of other Depeche clips pushing it hard.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 5 May 2012 10:20 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man, I love But Not Tonight so much - should have been top 10.

haha otm. i also forgot how ridiculous Gahan is in this video, it almost seems like he's doing a deliberate Bono parody.
― some dude, Saturday, 5 May 2012 11:20 (twelve years ago) link
i'm so far 12/20
Me too. And I expect at least 5 of the remaining ones to show in the top 10. (Though I am a little amazed that all of the big Some Great Reward singles have already placed. Just my age, I guess, but those are so foundational to my idea of Depeche Mode.)
