Released in the early nineties, Songs Of Faith And Devotion is one of the most successful albums of Depeche Mode's career, hitting No.1 across the globe, including the UK and US charts. Recording the album was a notoriously tricky experience for the band, being done so among claustrophobic conditions for the bandmates, who lived and worked together in the same property. The results were, however, a huge success, with critical acclaim and huge sales following the toil of studio time.

The album ultimately produced some of the biggest singles of the band's career, with 'I Feel You', 'Walking In My Shoes' 'Condemnation' and 'In Your Room' all scoring huge success on charts across the globe. Watch the video for 'I Feel You' below.

Depeche Mode fans and Gigwise readers named the band's debut album, Speak And Spell the worst of their career, with A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again, Sounds Of The Universe and Exciter also proving less popular with listeners. See the Top 5 best and worst Depeche Mode albums below.
