Oh my. I loved Depeche Mode in high school! I ended up going to see them in concert (3) times. Twice at Dodger Stadium and once in San Diego. I listened to them so much, that I am still burned out on them and can’t listen to them to this day and I’m in my 40’s. One of those songs will come on and I’m like “ugh.” change it. It’s the same with The Cure. Those bands were over-played our senior year.
