Do you know your singers?
Sparked by a recent statement that noone knew who this woman is, I ask you:
IT'S HARD TO PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT; SOMETHING IS WRONG

Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby i can't do without....
Used to love Yazoo...
Was a much bigger fan of Vice Clark than Depeche Mode. Speak and Spell was their best album.
Didn't care for much of Alison Moyet's solo stuff.

Bah, when Speak and Spell was released it was SOOO far ahead of it's time and it completely blew me away. Mind you, I'm 37 and at the time I was listening to artists like Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Wire to Heaven 17, Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire and Gary Numan.
In retrospect, Speak and Spell sounds very dated and quite different in style to all of the Depeche Mode that came after it but when I bought it, I literraly wore the grooves off that album within a month.

Agreed - it was way ahead of it's time, extremely innovative and quite possibly the first album to bring synthpop to the forefront of the musicworld and make it (synthpop/newwave) mainstream, but to say that in general it's a better album than Black Celebration, Violator or Music for the Masses is complete insanity. =P Unless, of course we're talking about for comic value, in which case, it's Speak and Spell all the way (hey you're such a pretty boy - you're so pretty. P-R-E-double T-Y)
As far as Vince Clark is concerned, he seems to be a bit like Midas in that everything he touched turned gold but I personally think DM with Martin Gore as a lyricist/songwriter is way better than Yaz(oo) and Erasure combined (though goddam The Innocents was a great album).
