Well, plenty of those could arguably be put in there as well. Both bands have been around for a long time and have continued to make an impact on the music scene. I really love both bands even.
In spite not having as much of a range in the songs, I'd have to say Depeche. Something about the majority of their songs manages to do something for me. Also, I prefer the more recent works of DM more.

Nice. Both of these bands have pretty much had similar career arcs, albeit DP doesn't have nearly the same clout U2 has today. Nevertheless, U2 my favorite band, and that's my vote. I really need to get on the ball and give Violator a listen.

I really need to get on the ball and give Violator a listen. All 9 of its songs are incredible. Despite having two records in my Top 100 albums of all-time (which I'll put up later on, after my songs game is over; Violator at #49 and 86>98: The Singles at #29), whereas U2 have none, I'm more familiar with U2's entire catalogue than I am with DM's. That and the fact that U2 had a banner year-plus for '04/'05, while I never got to hear DM's "Precious"  , causing DM to slide 17-19, and U2 to improve 13-10, as far as my favorite artists of all time are concerned, I'd say U2 get the nod from me. |

DM has more of a "wow" factor in their songs. U2 simply bores me.

For some reason I never voted before, but Depeche Mode gets my vote by a very narrow margin. I guess my reasoning is the same as picpak's, although U2 definitely doesn't bore me.

I don't even remember making that post.
I think now I may vote slightly more towards U2, even if I do find them grossly overrated.

Both are good bands, but I'll give the nod to U2 due to their overall body of work.
