Depeche Mode B-sides

At the time of this writing, it's clear that Depeche Mode will not advance in the AM World Cup but in their last match-up "Dangerous" leads 4-3 against "The Scientist" and I'm going to ride on this success and post links to all the songs I had selected. In chronological order:

Shout!
B-side of "New Life" (1981)

Now This Is Fun
B-side of "See You" (1982)

In Your Memory
B-side of "People Are People" (1984)

Dangerous
B-side of "Personal Jesus" (1989)

Dangerous and But Not Tonight could have been hits if they were released as A-sides. As for the other songs, it would be interesting to hear opinions from the sonofsamiam/nj et al mob.

Re: Depeche Mode B-sides

I am a huge fan of "The Great Outdoors", it has such an off-kilter vibe. "In Your Memory" is pretty enjoyable as well.

Re: Depeche Mode B-sides

Great songs, really. My favourites: "Dangerous" and "Oberkorn"
