I've been a fan of Depeche Mode since Ultra, which was the first album I got from them and the first time I even heard any of their songs. I have basically all their albums now and I like most of them. The two first albums aren't great and I'm not a big fan of Sounds of the Universe either, but most of their albums have plenty of solid songs. Despite a couple silly sounding tracks, my favorite remains Some Great Reward.

Yes, definitely; it's oddly charming.
Ultra was probably the first album of theirs that I became truly obsessed with, although Black Celebration was my first favorite. I don't listen to their newer albums much, honestly; I tend to just play Black Celebration, Violator, Ultra and Songs of Faith & Devotion on repeat. I'm fond of Some Great Reward too, though. "Blasphemous Rumors" was on allll of my angsty mix cds as a teenager.
