Obviously this won't change our number one, but here's my list finally
1. Let It Happen 2. It Might Be Time 3. Desire Be Desire Go 4. Elephant 5. Lucidity 6. Breathe Deeper 7. Less I Know The Better 8. Is It True? 9. Feels Like We Only Go Backwards 10. New Person, Same Old Mistakes
I've only heard Violator so doubt that I'll submit a list, but if I wanted to do a deeper dive on them where should I start?
Listen to all the studio albums from Some Great Reward through Ultra, as well as Playing the Angel.
They're my all time favorite band so getting to a top 10 is really tricky, but here goes:
1) Policy of Truth 2) Personal Jesus 3) Somebody 4) World in My Eyes 5) Strangelove 6) Blue Dress 7) Precious 8) It's No Good 9) In Your Room (album version, not the inferior Zephyr Mix) 10) Behind The Wheel

Might have to debate on which version of Behind The Wheel for the list cause there is a live version or I think a studio version on one of the single boxsets which is way better.
And regarding where to start on DM, you could stick with the compilations and find enough of a mix between hits and deep cuts. Catching Up With Depeche Mode, Singles 81-85 and 87-98, even 101 or Devotional as mentioned. Everything after Exciter is only worth 2 or 3 songs max an album which is just how it goes at this point in their career.

I was thinking of the album cut of Behind the Wheel. Curious to hear that alternative arrangement you speak of.
I actually find Exciter to be pretty dull, partially due to Martin Gore's songwriting (since he infamously had a writer's block leading up to that). Playing The Angel was what made me fall in love with the band, and I find that the whole thing still holds up very well as it has a very unique and consistent sound to it.
Also, I thought the live arrangements of the Delta Machine tracks were far more interesting than the studio arrangements.

I figured it out. It was just a live performance I had buried somewhere thats all.

So you went to 1 of the 2 nights at the hollywood bowl where they swapped it out for something else. I mean I was glad there was variety over the 4 nights. If you were going to some show anywhere else they wouldve played it as it was on their normal setlist.

this is so hard.
been a while since i've listened to Songs of Faith and Devotion on good speakers. Depeche Mode's mixing and mastering is typically a notch above albums of the same period, but the sound of SOFAD in particular is so fucking lush and rich and beautiful.
"In Your Room" is such a great fucking song. it's a great pop song period, but the way the production builds throughout the song, getting more and more layered and intense as the song progresses, is just fantastic. i'll never know what it's like being a famous pop star on heroin but i think this song does a better job of communicating that feeling than any other.
and it's so hard to make a top ten from a band that has one bona fide flawless album in "Violator". I could make a case for all 9 of those tracks being on the top ten.
anyway if you are a fan of popular music and not familiar with "Black Celebration", "Music For The Masses", and "Violator", you should get on that.
anyway posting this before i make anymore changes:
1. Enjoy the Silence 2. Personal Jesus 3. World in My Eyes 4. Policy of Truth 5. Nothing 6. Fly on the Windscreen - Final 7. Black Celebration 8. Behind the Wheel 9. In Your Room 10. Never Let Me Down Again
particularly regret not being able to include "Just Can't Get Enough", "Shake the Disease", "A Question of Time", "A Question of Lust", "Love In Itself", "I Feel You", and "Precious".
based on others' submissions my most oddball choices are "Nothing" and "Fly On The Windscreen".
side note, a few years ago at Movement, Matrixxman closed his hour long pounding industrialish techno set with "Nothing", was awesome. I love how all the german techno influenced techno DJs are huge Depeche Mode fans.
This took me a while. I have some oddballs in here too because of my weird affinity for Ultra and Exciter, which came out during my high school years. I also owned a tribute CD called “For the Masses” that had some interesting covers from a variety of notable and no-name 90s bands (Veruca Salt, The Smashing Pumpkins, Rammstein, a bad cover of “Policy of Truth” by Dishwalla — kind of fun to relisten to the good and awful).
Anyway, on with it:
1. Enjoy the Silence 2. Personal Jesus 3. Home 4. When the Body Speaks 5. Never Let Me Down Again 6. Barrel of a Gun 7. Somebody 8. Everything Counts 9. Precious 10. Fly on the Windscreen

Wasn't one of the Bowl shows, saw them back in 2013.
Also, I nominate The Cure, I'm surprised they're not on the list already.
What date did you attend in '13? It was played at almost every show on that tour.
It had to be night 2 of the 3 at Staples Center. Thats the thing when you see DM in LA or NY which are the only markets who get multiple nights. They swap out a handful of songs. In 2017 it was 4 nights at The Hollywood Bowl and 2 of the 4 nights they swapped it for something else. Outside of that youll get the same setlist anywhere else on tour with the occasional diff song by Martin every few nights which isnt that big if a difference maker.

The Jones Beach show from 2013 also had some crazy alternate tracks in the setlist. Having gone to the Brooklyn show two days before, I wish I also attended Jones Beach, but alas.
In hindsight I also should have gone to night 2 at MSG in 2017, as Judas is still on my bucket list of songs to hear. At least I got to see DM three times on the Global Spirit tour, including a stadium gig in Germany. It's crazy how massive they are over there!

Helpless has been on some lists already. I say they're fair game, although obviously it would make more sense to pick songs that Neil sang lead on and/or wrote
