Was their first double A-side single from the album Some Great Reward.
2 brilliant songs both written by Martin Gore.
Depeche Mode is 80’s music that holds up today IMO

Saw them with OMD 1988.
Can't believe it was 36 years ago.

I know that was an amazing show with OMD. Another highly relevant 80’s band.

Were you there too Cdawg?
Nvm. I guess you were. Is that your real ticket stub?
Wish I could have been there.


If only someone would have invited me, sigh

Is there a better chorus than this?
(Rhetorical question)

“I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour
And when I die, I expect to find him laughing”

You moved in 88.
You didn’t get a chance to enjoy Louisiana. Do you ever miss anything about it?

Another great one from Some Great Reward

Never understood this band. In fact, I think they blow major arse.

Something To Do is my favorite song off that album. Saw them live for the first time in 1986 in Houston. Book of Love opened for them.

Not sure if you're serious. I had my college years all in and around it. But I left for good around Halloween '93.

people mostly. Not the place as much.
