No.

I dunno about New Order but not Depeche Mode.

Edit: I want you to know that your post sounded like my dad. My dad's favourite artists are Meatloaf, Elton John and Il Divo.

Is it too early for your Dad to start a 2017 headliners thread?

[Woffy]

This really is the thread that keeps on giving.

I like that in a discussion about who has the most diverse catalogue the (wrong) two examples are discussed rather than corrected.

The answer to "who has a more diverse catalogue than the Beatles?" is David Bowie.

Can you give me examples of each in song? I'm genuinely intrigued now, I've never really had Depeche Mode down as being so diverse. Certainly nowhere near the Beatles, in my eyes pretty much nobody does when it comes to variety of music within their discography.

I'll give him a call and ask him. Don't think he knows what a forum is.  He'd probably pick Muse to headline as he's seen them live a few times and likes their piano songs (he's a pianist).

Son!

Poor form to quote oneself ... but also Mike Patton has a more diverse discography than The Beatles ... although I guess it is with different groups.

There aren't many though, those Beatles chaps sure did blaze a trail deep and wide.  Bands that think they "sound like the Beatles" very very very rarely do.

I would not be shocked if he supported again. I would quite like The Whip again as well. They are a fantastic band but they seem to have fell from the face of the earth since then.

The support will come from their usual pool of Marr, Jake Evans, The Whip or Factory Floor. I would be shocked if it is anyone other than the ones I have stated. Tim Burgess will probably attempt to dj as well.

Completely agree on The Whip - in fact went on their website a few weeks ago after hearing 'secret weapon' on an old playlist and wondering if they had anything new on the horizon. They don't appear to be doing anything at the moment which is a shame....

I love Coldplay and hate Radiohead..... I'm like the glitch in the efestivals network!

Same, as much as i don't really want to see muse again either id rather see them over radiohead too.

Alan Wilder > George Harrison

The reason Depeche Mode are so diverse is that they keep realising what they have just recorded is shite, so try something different.

Still trying.

If at first you do not succeed, try again :-)

I like that one they wrote about Luis Suarez.

I am not sure Depeche Mode wrote a song called 'He's Just A Shit Sergio Aguero'

I never mentioned who is the better frontman even though neither of them can sing. All I said was that I find Joy Division utterly depressing

I would say that Depeche Mode more so than New Order. From bubblegum pop, electro, diso, goth, grunge, rock, house, techno, they have covered it all

I think they have covered more genres. I do not think they are more ground breaking, I would like to clarify that.

Same reason I don't like Joy Division, I find the singer extremely depressing.

Hmm I think you'll find you said you found the singer of Joy Division depressing, rather than Joy Division the band.

Personally I always found a lot of beauty in Ian's voice, and a soulful honesty in his lyrics. Neither of which Barney can lay claim to. Let's not even start on Barney's dad at a wedding dancing, or his constant whooping at inappropriate moments on stage.

Also, I can't say I know much of Depeche Mode's back catalogue but Techno? House? Disco? really?

That 'article' is such a puddle of wasted jizz the only thing it's good for is mopping up it's own wasted jizz. 

I find it odd that CM tells that tactless 'joke'. Isn't he a Christian? 

What we need is a petition to get Coldplay banned for his tactless joke
