Personal Jesus
This song has been highly praised for its lyrics and has been covered by a long list of musicians. It has been ranked in the greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone and Q Magazine. Genius song writing and brilliant performances by Depeche Mode.

Policy of Truth
Most would expect "Enjoy the Silence" or "Precious" to be in spot number two. Policy of Truth is a song with strong lyrics, and Depeche Mode playing at their best.

Enjoy the Silence
Depeche Mode's most well known song. This is the song that most embodies their sound.

One of the best songs from the 1980s embodies their synth pop sound best, it imo also closed the chapter on their earliest period (1981 - 85).

Not an unknow song at all, one of the best of their early synth pop beginnings, it was actually written in 1980 already and later re written for speak and spell.
