I recently started compiling a minidisc of Depeche Mode for the car and found that I couldn't fit all the "essential" tracks onto 3x74 minute discs (hell and I wouldn't even consider myself a fan)! That gives some indication of the tremendous quantity and more importantly quality that this band has produced over their two decades of existence.
Of all DM's singles and album tracks, imports and remixes, my favourite has to remain SHAKE THE DISEASE. Everything about this song exudes quality: the musical hooks really get under your skin, the vocals are both tender and powerful and the sentiment is universal. All this is subtly supported by great instrumentation and use of FX sampling. The effect is ethereal and never fails to elicit an emotional response.

Since this song doesn't appear in any DM album (only on compilations), you should definitively buy this single: it's one of the most beautiful songs of the 80's. Romantic, enormously listenable, infinitely enjoyable: Gahan's voice is thunderous like it had never been before, but with some delicate moments, and the music is just as simple, sparse and yet effective as it could be... If it weren't enough, it was also a very influential single: you can hear samples of this song even in some of today's dance tracks! The B-Side ("Flexible") is a funny and unpretentious joke on the side-effects of celebrity and money... No match for the A-side, but a welcome plus.
