KMFDM aka kill motherfucking depeche POLL

oh man one of the early ones for sure but idk

I always liked Money the best of their albums, but obviously the "Godlike" single is their one moment of true glory and it's not on any of the full-lengths.

Naive.

I am and always will be all about Don't blow Your Top

If I could, I would vote for it a thousand times

I only have WDYKD, which has its moments. Well, it has one moment, 'Me I Funk', which makes me feel like king of the dark awesome every time I hear it (see also: NIN 'Closer' and other such sexgroovemonster rave-ups)

Wonder if I'd like any of the others...

GIVE ME
YOUR DIRTY LOVE

the "Godlike" single is their one moment of true glory

NOW
IS
THE TIME

(True story -- one time on tour back in 1992 En Esch pointed the mike to me so I could roar along to that bit. Though not as impressively as he, doubtless.)

wdylldeutschland

ONCE YOU WERE MY ONE AND ONLY
TOOK MY STASH AND LEFT ME LONELY

Well, it has one moment, 'Me I Funk', which makes me feel like king of the dark awesome every time I hear it

You recognize what it's a cover of, kinda...

btw just fyi XTORT kind of sucks massive ballz

xp Simon & Garfunkel?

Set aside the actual line with the title in it and note what lyrics are used...

Naive came out during my short-lived industrial obsession, 1990-92, so that's the one with the good memories but I don't think I've heard anything since Money.

thats actually a pretty good stopping point tbh

(would have cast a kneejerk vote for excessive force if it were on this list btw)

I saw them on the Angst tour.

does kmfdm really mean kill motherfucking depeche mode??? i had no idea! all these years...

Wasn't Excessive Force their house record? I seem to remember lots of piano breaks and 4/4

Doesn't KMFDM mean lots of things, according to what mood they were in on the day? Like MDC. I'm sure the original meaning wasn't a Depeche dis

Hmm, yeah there are lyrical similarities (oh wait, at 2.30 hahaha), but I wouldn't have picked anything out of the music as a similarity! Strikes me as a nice little tip of the hat.

I just like saying the letters K-M-F-D-M in a really arch German accent, it's fun

Excessive Force was a side project (which apparently had 2 albums, but i never heard the second one) w/sascha and Buzz McCoy from thrill kill kult.

used to listen to Money & play Quake in middle school, amazed i didn't turn out a vicious murderer.

I met En Esch at a tiny dive bar where I was seeing Sugarsmack play once (he was at the show because Hope Nicholls and he were in Pigface together at the time). Dude is the nicest guy ever.

Ha is this going to be a poll where you will be able to tell by a person's vote in what year they were 15 years old? Or just me & my husband's habit of pointing at each other in passing and grumbling "I'M THE ILLEGITIMATE – SON OF GOD."

thats actually a pretty good stopping point tbh

Extremely good, a few songs like "A Drug Against War" aside.

that is extremely OTM xp

nihil for me.

haha abbott so OTM re: my vote

wdynk, especially for "zip" but i haven't heard anything they did post 1990.

kein merheit fur die mitleid

Ha is this going to be a poll where you will be able to tell by a person's vote in what year they were 15 years old?

lol, totally OTM

kmfdm didn't exist when i was 15.

15 in spirit

i think their late 90's stuff is kinda underrated actually.

anything after their early 00's reformation is pretty useless though.

untrue

xp

honestly i had no idea they were still making music

what is the 'opium' album like?

so i was all ready to call bullshit on the KMFDM didnt exist when i was 15 and then i remembered that i am not necessarily the oldest dude on ilx

I didn't hear them until I was 18, but that year's album is still my favorite.

Heh. I was indeed 15 at the beginning of 1990.

I was fifteen between Symbols and Adios and those two are probably tied for 2nd in my book, but Nihil will always be my fav.

angst is the only album of theirs I actually own so I voted for that, and yeah, I was 15 in 1993

No MDFMK no credibility! j/k...

this is a hard choice, tho. What should I chose, Deutschland?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

What in the hell

so um is it possible that some incarnation of this band is touring the West Coast right now? cause I heard they or members were doing a free late show 2night in Oregon.

only have Nihil and Angst but Nihil is fucking fantastic....

I didn't vote, though I should have. I would have voted Naive.

KMFDM used to be my favorite band ever. In middle school/early high school lol.

sex on the flag!

think money is the best kmfdm record i've heard

it is definitely playing at the club in hell

It's incredible to me how many albums they have. I stopped listening after Angst.

i am somewhat curious about the dub album that came out last year

I keep looking at this thread title like “KMFD…P?”
