If Depeche Mode doesn't beat the Backstreet Boys in anything, then we're all doomed.

Straight up song vs song, sure. But the Depeche video vs the Backstreet video? 4 dudes standing around while one is going different places and sitting in a chair versus space, robots, women, and choreography?

Yes.

Your point...? It's Depeche Mode vs Backstreet Boys.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's Depeche Mode by a mile. The Backstreet Boys were never on my radar. I don't even know a song they did.

So, some are just going with whichever band is their favorite between the two rather than watching the videos and rating the actual videos? Gotcha. You do you, I guess.

I like Depeche Mode more than the Backstreet Boys, but I prefer the video made by the Backstreet Boys than the rather lame video made by Depeche Mode. Just because you're a more popular band you shouldn't just roll crap videos out there, IMHO.

I agree with your premise, but I actually liked the Depeche Mode video more. I thought it matched the song well. The Backstreet Boys' video was too silly, and I'm not a fan of excessive choreographed dancing.

Maybe it's not fair, but I usually don't watch the videos if I'm not a fan of the music.

However, Depeche Mode has made some really videos, so I'm not sure how the examples are selected.

At least the depeche mode shows him enjoying the silence. The BSB video is just weird.


I pictured you more as a Blockhead.

Bingo!

Your passive aggressive attack wasn't unnoticed Brian.

What are the rankings of these two? Someone obviously thought Depeche Mode was worthy of a ranking, after all.

Regardless of how you vote...I appreciate the passion!

I (guilty pleasure) love both these songs, but when I was a kid Backstreet Boys was my jam
