Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 14

'Just Can't Get Enough'
--Depeche Mode (1982)

The difference between simple and simplistic is spelled out in this electropop bauble, which couples lyrical platitudes with an incessant duh-duh-duh-dit-di-di-di-dit synthesizer riff that turns out to be Morse Code for "Save Our Song." Vince Clarke, who wrote 'Enough,' soon left the group, saying he didn't like the direction it was going in -- namely toward well-written, commercially and critically successful music.

I agree. I love Depeche Mode, but I hate "Just Can't Get Enough."

This song is rubbish. Depeche Mode improved 10 fold after the departure of Vince Clarke.
