i don't really like depeche mode that much but I think the original version of Personal Jesus is still better than the MSI version, even though I generally prefer MSI as a band. their earlier works have some pretty moderate influence from depeche mode, but it's clear that some of the stuff from the 2000s has inspiration from rap titans like Notorious BIG, although I think that was to the detriment of their reputation

if you speed up basically any depeche mode song it becomes a lot more clear I think
Depeche Mode is alright but Duran Duran and INXS are way better imo
