Depeche Mode's "Stripped" is still one of the coolest songs in the history of ever.

i don't know if i ever heard that song, so will play it at blip. mostly what i remember from them is People Are People. oh, and Personal Jesus, of course!

ok, i gave it a listen. then i played smashing pumpkins' cover of Never Let Me Down Again. whee!

Hee! It still amuses me that "Personal Jesus" was covered by both Marilyn Manson and Johnny Cash.

"Stripped" was on the album Black Celebration, which also featured WHFS favorites like "Fly on the Windscreen," "A Question of Lust" and "A Question of Time." That may have been right around the time you stopped listening to pop music, I'm not sure.

i have to!

I am so glad I wasn't drinking tea when I read this. I hate getting hot beverages up my nose.

yeah, and MM sang the hell out of it, so to say. ahem.

ok, yes, i bet you're right about timing. i tuned out in the latter '80s, for about a decade!
