Depeche Mode were at their best as a nancyboy plinky-plonky synth band. Fantastic!

Nancyboy plinky-plonky synth bands have always been more popular in the UK than leather-trousering smacked-up pseudo-rockers

A bit... also that wearing leather trousers and trying to be Jim Morrison was crap even when Jim Morrison did it

thing is, when i'd left school and was working for the DSS, i had hair, beard and leather trousers exactly like SOFAD-era dave gahan. i never got round to the tattoos, although i keep thinking about fixing that ;)

"Is pipecock 15-years-old?
-- JN$OT"
"Probably 45.
-- HI DERE"
if you average your two guesses, youd be pretty close.
"And very very lonely.
-- Ned Raggett"
it certainly depends on your definition of lonely. being married and having a kid and a cat could be lonely i guess, but not for me.

What's wrong with a nancyboy plinky-plonky synthband?
I mean, the same question should be applied to DM members themselves (AND Flood!!!!!!) in 1993 too, but, still....

NEW ORDER!!! Depeche Mode second, but only if you stop before late 80s.
