As Depeche Mode is set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, this weekend, we take a look at the Ten Best Songs by the group. An excusive HBO special honoring this year’s Inductees will air on HBO and to stream on HBO Max SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Inducted along with Depeche Mode are Nine Inch Nails, the Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, The Notorious B.I.G., T-Rex, and Ahmet Ertegun Award honorees Jon Landau and Irving Azoff. 

Depeche Mode are an English electronic music band formed in Basildon in 1980. The group consists of a trio of Dave Gahan (lead vocals and co-songwriting), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, co-lead vocals and main songwriting), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards).

Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Founding member Vince Clarke left after the release of the album; they recorded A Broken Frame as a trio. Gore took over as main songwriter and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder replaced Clarke, establishing a lineup that continued for 13 years.

Here are (in no particular order) our Ten Best Depeche Mode songs.
