TS: Depeche Mode vs. New Order vs. Pet Shop Boys

actually, you've cracked it: it's the KNOW YOUR PLACE mentality, innit?

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.

I'm only about 1/3 of the way plowing through Depeche Mode's massive discography (currently jamming the one with "Blasphemous Rumours" on it), but I gotta say the haters in this thread are insane.

The correct answer to this thread is "all of 'em" ...

Poll remains correct.

Democracy workes in this case

Although if we're talking about the acts in terms of level of high quality over a sustained length of time, it's Pet Shop Boys, followed by Depeche Mode, followed by New Order.

i think i might have even voted for "Blue Monday" over PSB and DM. Or "Confusion" even. And I LOVE 80s PSB and DM.

Discography is never far from me. Wait, was it DJP who hates "Domino Dancing"? Why do I even remember that? Best song!

throw OMD onto this list and we might coax Turrican into making the longest post in ilx history

At this point, I am pretty sure my tombstone is going to read "He died as he lived; hating the fuck out of fucking 'Domino Dancing'."

Throw OMD and The Cure onto this list and the answer would still be "all of them"
