DM isn't in my top 10 favorite bands, but Violator probably is one of my top 10 favorite albums.

Black Celebration is my favorite of theirs, but it's hard to argue with anyone calling Violator their best. Just such a ridiculously strong album. The only thing keeping it from perfection is Blue Dress, which is a B- song for me. I normally love Martin's vocal contributions, but that song is meh. But that is barely a criticism, because that album is simply amazing.
Halo is my favorite song of theirs.
Clean is one of their most underrated songs, I think. For the longest time, I liked it but didn't think too much of it. But the first time I heard it with some proper bass... jeez.
And Enjoy the Silence... not even going to bother elaborating. Literally one of the greatest songs of all time. Absolutely no question about it.
I'm going to stop here while I'm at the point of merely going on slightly too long.
Thank God someone mentioned this. I personally find Violator to be overrated, but Clean is my favorite single from it. ETS is pretty good too, albeit overplayed compared to the other gems in their catalog.
To the other DM fans here, what are your thoughts on Songs of Faith and Devotion? I personally think it's great, but never hear much talk.

My (real) pick:
I tuned out on them a bit as they got more and more experimental. They just did pop with a twist so, so well on The Bends and OKC. While I like a lot of their later output, those two albums are two of my favorites of all time. And Street Spirit will never fail to give me chills, no matter how many times I've heard it.
My site's name is based off one of their songs. It's a b-side from one of their Pablo Honey singles, which wasn't one of their best periods. But I like the song, despite not loving it - I just used it on a whim when buying the domain, and have been sort of stuck with it ever since.

Nitpicky, but Clean wasn't a single. There was a video for it (Halo, as well), but technically not a single.
I can see thinking of Violator as overrated, only because it does get rated so highly across the board. I don't agree, but I can see where you're coming from.
SOFAD took me a long time to get into. I used to think I could listen to Dave Gahan sing anything, whether it was a DM song or a page from the phone book. Until he started releasing questionable (and mostly boring) solo albums, and until his live voice went largely to ****. But SOFAD was the album that gave me pause. His belting of some songs (Condemnation) was odd to me at first.
Now, of course, it's easy to see what an amazing performance he delivers on that album. Especially because he was smacked out of his freaking mind the whole time. It's not one of my favorite DM albums, but it's very good. Higher Love is one of my favorite DM songs, and In Your Room and Rush are no slouches, either.
Also, Higher Love live with the curtain is one of my favorite openers of any band.
that song always depressed me, there was a time i went throught the typical depressed teenager phase radiohead always brought me down lol
i both loved and hated this song lol

black celebration tops my DP list.
songs of faith and devotion...i only like a few tracks from that album. walking in my shoes, strong contender on my songs on repeat list.lolz
Walking in My Shoes
Mercy in You
In Your Room
Nothing else from that album stuck with me.
Both Violator and Ultra are better in terms of content.
I think it really deserves whatever hype it has associated with it. I was personally into it when I was 13 or 14 years old, and no one else in my school would have had the foggiest idea who they were, but it became one of my very favorite albums, and remains that way to this day. And it's more than just a collection of really good songs. It is the ebb and flow of the album. I would put it up there with Revolver, Synchronicity, Pet Sounds, Thriller, Aja, or whatever other pop album you want to think of as an all-time great.

All these years later this one still sounds great.
Well I don't know what is or isn't "goth," but the Cure put out some damn fine music, and they're as closely identified with that sub-culture as anything, right? Then, you could probably lump the Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, even the Pixies into that same classification, and it doesn't make their music any less good to me. Some of these bands were dark and brooding, but as another broody New Wave-y guy once asked--so what?What ticks me off is how so many think DM is goth.

I think SOFAD is one of their best albums. Walking in My Shoes is my favorite song on that album.
Can't think of a top ten all time favorites?
