Depeche mode music for the masses m4a3/12/2023 ![]() Black Celebration allowed me to delve deeper into the darkness of their music and lyrics, especially in the tracks “Stripped” and the title song. ![]() Succeeding albums only strengthened that connection. “Blasphemous Rumours” and all of its over the top drama, “Master and Servant” with its illicit themes, and “People are People” with its pleas for understanding all led to my love affair with the biggest electro-pop band of the ’80s. Bands like Oingo Boingo, the Thompson Twins, OMD, Til Tuesday and the B-52’s grabbed my attention, but nothing affected me as deeply, the emotional teen that I was, as the music of Depeche Mode.

It’s no stretch to say that I never really fit in with anyone during junior high or high school.
