Day 14: I’ll drink to that

Day 14 – Your favorite song from the Black Celebration era

I think today’s challenge is easily won by “Black Celebration.” Dark. Intense. Urgent. It also has special memories attached – he first time I heard “Black Celebration” was when it was played live in Sacramento on the Exciter Tour (DM: please come back!). This was the first time I’d seen Depeche live and I had only been a fan for 2-3 years. I’d delved into all the albums from Music for the Masses forward, plus Speak and Spell. Most of the 82-86 non-single tracks had yet to be explored, so when the band busted this out, its epicness warped my young mind (in the best way).

Honorable mentions: “Stripped”, “New Dress”
