Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Something went wrong along the way, everybody's waiting for Judgement day' is from which song?

Answer: Told You So

 From the band's 'Construction Time Again' album. Not their finest hour, but it still has some decent cuts on it.
2. Which track features the lyric 'I'd put your leather boots on'?

Answer: Something To Do

 From 'Some Great Reward' although the live version of this track on '101' is infinitely better.
3. 'The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets that cling to the backs of my knees' is from which amazing song?

Answer: Home

 It was widely thought that Depeche Mode would never overcome both Dave Gahan's drug problems and the departure of Alan Wilder, but both critics and fans were surprised when the band returned with 'Ultra'. 'Home' is the album's high point, a shimmering vocal from Martin and sweeping strings. One of my favourite Mode tracks of all time.
4. 'Tears are falling, tears of joy' can be found in which track?

Answer: World Full Of Nothing

 One of the mellower tracks on 1986's 'Black Celebration'. This album and the subsequent tour really saw the band's popularity increase in Europe, along with the development of their darker, moodier leanings.
5. Which track from the late eighties contains the lines 'She knows your mind is not yet in league, with the rest of the world and its little intrigues'?

Answer: Little 15

 'Little 15' was released as a single in France but not the UK or USA. A dark subject matter for a pop song.
6. 'You've stripped my heart, ripped it apart in the name of fun' are lines from which track?

Answer: Lillian

 2005's 'Playing The Angel' was a true return to form for the band, easliy their best album since the early nineties. It was also the first Mode album to see Dave sharing the writing duties with Martin.
7. Dave Gahan sings 'Your burning eyes cause flames to arise' on which track?

Answer: In Your Room

 Taken from 'Songs Of Faith and Devotion'. The 'Devotional' tour for this album has entered rock legend as one of the most debauched of all time. Andy Fletcher suffered a nervous breakdown during the midst of it.
8. Which Mode track asks if you have 'Things on your chest you need to confess'?

Answer: Personal Jesus

 When the band delivered this song to their American record label, the label executives were unsure as to its suitability as a single release. It went on to become the label's biggest selling twelve inch ever at that time. So much for industry knowledge!
9. Which song has the evocative line 'Heavenly oversights, eating from silver spoons'?

Answer: The Dead Of Night

 The stand out track for me on 'Exciter', harking back to darker days and heavier beats. The live verison on the 'One Night In Paris' live DVD is well worth seeking out.
10. 'I don't understand what destiny's planned, I'm starting to grasp what is in my own hands' are integral lines in which song?

Answer: Clean

 From the band's seminal album 'Violator'. A strong candidate for the finest electronica album of all time in my humble opinion. If the definition of a Classic Album is one that has not a single poor track on it then 'Violator' fits the bill nicely.
