wouldn't say they were the best british group by a mile but then i guess that's opinion.
are they not a huge though? didn't think they were unrecognised, not seen them live but i've seen a couple of videos on youtube and they play to massive audiences :eek:
They are brilliant live, Dave Gahan really comes alive in front of an audience.
They are well under rated in UK but big in many other countries including US.
I've been avoiding videos and the leak of the new album as I want to enjoy it in CD quality when it finally arrives from Amazon as I pre-ordered it at the start of the month.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a Dublin date on their upcoming tour as the last 2 times they performed over here they were AMAZING!!!!
Best British group by a mile - No they're not...
Best live band by a mile - No they're not...
Criminally unrecognised for their achievements for over 30 years - Probably.
That is all.
But that's not fact, it's just your opinion!
I could list hundreds of bands that I would put ahead of them... biggest one of them all, The Beatles, being just one of them.
"Best British group by a mile"
Nonsense.
i actually prefer those three to violator :eek:
Although it did coincide with Dave's troubles.

all joking aside, DM has been a part of my life since Speak & Spell and A Broken Frame way back in 1981 and was very influential to me in growing up.
Can't say I've followed or have been massively excited by much they've done in the past 10 years ("Precious" in 2005 may have been the last song I've enjoyed), but I will always consider them to be one of my top 5 bands/groups ever.
cant wait to see them in london
Defo best live band.
Dreaming of me
Just can't get enough
Photographic
Behind the wheel
World in my Eyes
Question of lust
Precious
